So, I have an interview on Monday for a job I am not especially qualified for, but also not exactly unqualified for-- it doesn't ask for things I haven't got (like, say, experience), but it is for something I don't have any experience in (secretary/researcher).

The interview is on Monday, and apart from general interview anxities, there's the added bonus of me having no suitable clothes.

None. They're all in the post, since I wasn't expecting a job this early. Eek!


Aside from that, I've been having fun watching St Trinians, a set of black and white films dealing the girls' school from hell, populated by "fiends in human form". There's just something about anarchic girls in gym-slips that I find intrinsically appealing.

I'm also revelling in the joy of new Batman Beyond comics, thanks to buggery. Terry! Bruce! Something to tide me over while my remaining stash of books works it way back to me.

And I'm going to the Proms with my aunt this evening. We went the day after I got back, and she booked a bunch of tickets. One of the nice things about going with her is that she does tour management, so we go back stage and I get to listen to orchestra gossip. Oh, so it's about people I don't know and sometimes in languages I can just about say my name in, but it's still fun. Gossip! Whisperings about various conductors and national politics as it applies to the hiring of new conductors in Germany! Yay!

You know, I'd heard of St Trinians, but never seen it. I'm really intrigued now.

Hope you enjoy the proms, and good luck with your interview! At least you have two nice skirts to chose from.

You'll be pleased to know that it was a very full house -suprising, since it's not a big name orchestra or singer, but really nice, given that it was the fisrt time in the UK since '88. The singer (according to peoplewho know these things) was very good, lots of character and good German (and showed a lot of improvement) and probably did a lot of a opera -a real stage singer, lots of expression and gestures and singing *to* the audience.

But I think everyone was surprised by how big a crowd it was, and the whole thing was pretty lovely.


Also, I was thinking of lending you the St Trinians, just sticking it in the post when I do a care package.

I listened to a performance by the NZSO this morning while getting ready for school, with Lemalu singing german stuff. That wasn't the same one, was it?

Also on the subject of care packages: LOVE.
