welcome to the crepe party!!!
Hiya. So here's whats been happening so far, the highlight of the weekend was the Crepe party. I made signs on saturday after work. I can tell that i really need to work on an art project, i have been kind of floating at this point and know that my energies need to go towards something specific becuase the crepe party signage just isn't going to cut it. so i made up two great games for the party which included pin the topping on the crepe using tape and a piece of glass between the poster and the toppings. the other game was guess how many crepes the batter makes. fran and i both guessed in the 20s and Anka, a friend of Fran's, guessed 15, the actual number: 9 crepes, i don't know if that is enough crepes to count as a crepe party. i also crated a sign that said VIC very important crepes this way, which Fran proceeded to hang on our door. i also made a sign that you could flip over that said welcome crepes on one side and on the other it said "sorry no crepes allowed, full house". as well there was a sign "Crepes vs. Pancakes" with origin, number eaten in one sitting, number burned, fun facts about each and favorite toppings. and as always there were disclaimers on every poster (may not be actual size, artist rendition, may contain:eggs, dairy, gluten, nuts, suitable for vegetarian). and you ask what is the obsession with crepes well for one, when fran says the word it sounds like craps. for another we were sick of having pancakes every sunday. and why all the signs? well, i need to start some sort of art project and channel the creative tendencies towards something a little more challenging and artistic, so we will see.
i also went and saw the film Atomized, wow. this is a great german film with the two actors from Run Lola Run, challenging the ideas of sexual attratiction and reproduction and whether you need the first in order from reproduction, essentially heading towards a society in aldous huxley's "brave new world". i have been feeling kind of non relatable to humans the last few days so this was an important film to see, and then when i got home from the film what was waiting for me on the cable, non other than the Bollywood Film, "Monsoon Wedding" so an evening of films, the colors of the bollywood film were just gorgeous, and made me want to visit india vs. ireland. so we will see where the life leads us.
as for monday, not much happening today, i bought a sweater at a second hand shop and then i will make bbq seitan and beans for dinner and some apple scones, a quiet day, perhaps next weekend will be more interesting, but it is nice to rest, i hope to finish my scarf soon or more book, but we will see. talk to you all later.
xoxo,
christie

I'm still here. No news on the job front yet (sadface) I interviewed yesterday. It went well: about as good as the interview I had that got me my last job. So we'll see. It was just "pre-interviewing" so if/when they get the green light, maybe I'll get a call about a position opening up. The anxiety is killing me in the meantime because I don't know if I should tell work I might be leaving soon or not. So I haven't, but now the schedule is written up into the first week of September now (after school starts). So if I get "the call" then the scheduling might get ugly. I'll probably just end up burning my 2 weeks of vacation to cover the overlap...if they let me do that, if it comes to that.
Other BN news. Our store won the frappucino contest! So WE get the store party and our cafe workers get the 50 bucks American each. (how much is that in Euros buddy?)
I haven't slept much due to the interiew anxiety and this week I have two "clopens" to do...so that's just sick and wrong. I got this crappy sched. due to the fact that I've been requesting weekends off (otherwise I get none) and have bad shifts during the week.
Anyway, that's my news.
So Mama C, did you get new eyeballs or what? Did they use a grapefruit spoon during the "procedure" or was it more high-tech (involving a spork perhaps?) Glad you doing okay. and I wish I was there to give you grief about the sunglasses indoors...man I could have fun with that. I'd be putting Stevie Wonder on the in store play for sure!
