I watched this movie in 3D a few days ago. But never got around to blogging about it. But OH MY GOD how amazing was it?! The story was pretty good, with great little details. But the visual part of it completly blew me away.

Originally I didn't want to see it. But eventually I got convinced it would be good. I am so glad I did go! The amount of work that was put into that. If I was ever able to be in the credits for something half as well done as that, I would be happy.

The characters were so real, the hair and eyes were AMAZING. I was mesmerised through the whole thing. If you haven't seen it, go see it before it goes out of cinemas. Because it HAS to be seen in 3D to be fully appreciated.

The subway way

So last night I was at work just to read the roster and find out that I am doing a close this Friday. This Friday is the work dinner. But you know, we are closing early. The dinner is at 7.30pm and we close at 7pm, meaning I leave by 7.15pm and technically should get dressed in the fridge and go straight to the dinner, smelling like subway (aka bread, pickles and sanitiser). But of course, that is not gonna happen. I'd go home and have a quick shower and then go to the dinner and be late. I rather be late than smell like subway. So that was a nice start to my shift.

Not only that, but I found out I am closing with someone who no one likes and doesn't help much. So yay for that, right?! Because everyone is going to the dinner and no one wants to work with this person, no one would swap shifts with me. So I figured, it could be worst right?! But then, salvation came along.

About 2 hours after I found this out, a girl from work comes in saying she doesn't wanna work tonight. And I'm saying how i don't wanna work friday night. So she says, if I do her shift tonight, she'll swap with me friday night (i'll work during lunch and she'll do close). I agree, of course. So she rings ppl around to let managers know and all. And then she leaves. About an hour after that, we get a call from one of the managers from the store which I was gonna work in. He's saying that we can't swap coz the pay difference is too big and bla bla bla (he makes no sense, considering cheaper ppl cover for more expensive ones all the time! it balances out). So drama goes around, no one can et in thought with anyone, and eventually the girl has to do the shift. Because of that, she wouldn't swap friday with me. But it gets worst.

Because I knew I couldn't work, I decided to go christmas shopping today, just to get a call in the morning asking if I could do the close tonight! WTF! I said no and the girl was gonna call in sick and stuff. But I think she ended up doing it. And the good news is, she'll still swap friday with me :D hooray for not going to dinner smelling like pickles :D

You see, my days are much more dramatic when I have work :P So much drama happens there nowdays, it's quite entertaining. But I'll leave all those ones for another day ;)

Almost the end

Christmas is just around the corner and I still haven't bought any present. Sigh. How depressing. But for a change, I actually have money in the bank, somehow. Even though I've been buying lots of useless stuff. Weird.

My TAFE interview is this Wednesday. I am petty much freaking out. My portfolio is almost done. I shall go out and print off some more photos today. I have almost 40 photos. Being that the guy said we should have around 20. This can't be good. But I don't wanna take half of them out.

Friday is my work dinner. That will be interesting... And after that, I might go to a fire twirling thing (class?!) and take photos with Kat. I am actually REALLY looking forward to that :)

Lunch time now ;)

Waiting

Wow, it's been a while. Over a month. How shameful.

Life's quite complicated right now. Things are out of my hands and there's nothing I can control right now. I haven't been getting many hours of work so I spend most of my time at home, bored out of my mind, because everyone else I know is working or busy. So I don't even bother anymore. I guess staying home bored is better than constantly asking people if they wanna do something and getting rejected, specially when you find out they rather spend time with their other friends.

I have an interview for TAFE next week. *freaks out* My portfolio is almost done. If it all goes well, I'll be doing photography next wear, for 2 years. If that fails, I'll try and get some full time job I guess...

I watched "away we go" last night. It is brilliant! Just so funny!
This mum asks their kid what they know about babies (the kid is not even 10yo) and he says:
"Babies like to breathe and are good at hiding it. I put a pillow over a baby and I thought she wasn't breathing but then she was. She was sneaky. But I'll try again."
Funniest. quote. ever.

That's it really...
