Dear Diary

• The building inspection report came back for the new house - there are some issues, not many. The Collective will discuss them then enter into negotiations about fixing them - RCDs are mandatory now as are hardwired smoke alarms
• Five weeks at new job, still learning at a stressful rate, still happy with this. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to the OTW and in specific the fantastic AD&T committee because working on building the AO3 gave me the opportunity to gain experience that directly translates to being able to do this job well :)
• Very civilised lunch with prk and transcendancing near my work - I can live with this :)
• Still waiting on my final grade for M.F. I really want to know that I've passed
• Received offer of voluntary severance package from last job - am going to take it and spend the money on electronics, overseas holidays and hookers the deposit for the new house
• Cowboys and Aliens tonight \o/

Cowboys vs Aliens

Oops, forgot to write about this - partly because it's in that ambiguous middle ground where on the one hand it was a fun homage to early cowboy movies and alien movies that lovingly launched a fight in the saloon and mutilated the cattle. On the other hand it's yet another contribution to the yawningly large body of works featuring misogyny and racism.

I enjoyed it and am choosing not to think about the other hand.
