OMG! The daughter of the vice of McCain is pregnant!!!! This is so fucking important for my country it makes first page.

WTF????? He is not even the president, so what is this shit important to the rest of the world? So yeah, the woman that proclaims youth should preserve themselves for marriage did the hancky panky when she was at least 16, got pregnant, and suddenly it's news for the rest of the world.

Also, hey, I do understand that Lousianna suffered enough witht the Catrina, but also the fact that the WHOLE news are about he fucking hurricane pisses me off a bit. There is 1 million of people without home in India because of REAL FLOODS, not threats of hurricanes. It's like America is a part of the Europe! Hey, by the emphasis on this shit, it's even probably a neighbour country! What about that????? I thought the only neighbour we had was Spain!!!!!

I HATE NEWS. I HATE NEWSPAPERS. BECAUSE THEY ARE FUCKING PAID BY THE STATE TO HIDE WHAT IS REALLY GOING ROTTEN INSIDE THE COUNTRY AND FOCUS ON THE FUCKING DAUGHTER OF A POSSIBLE NEW ASSHOLE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't get me wrong. I was concerned about the Gustav. The problem is USA occupies the whole news, even though Europe is under serious threat of Depression, and the Government is annoyingly hidding the facts and economy problems, and basically focusing on commenting USA problems.  No other country exists in this world, apparently. All spotlights on America... It's like America is the next big Soapopera, and if you know Portugal, you know everyone is a big fan of Soapopera... As long as my people have bread and games, who cares about the slavery work of teatchers, deficient health system, the WHOLE in the State economy, the mistreating of nurses, the exploration of judges and lawyers... Hey, who cares... That is just half the population of the country. The rest is so brain dead already they even buy popcorns to watch the news...

EDIT: OMG... The pregnancy is also on the first page on the Spiegel. XD Apparently it is very important for Germans that the said daughter is pregnant. When I decide to get pregnant, like in 20 years, I want to have as much publibity and information about it.
 

current mood: shocked

Oh well, at least I have the time to do whatever I never had time to do, like washing clothes, and getting the empty house a bit more cosy...

I am also creating a page in Wikipedia about Wald, the place I live in. At the moment it is only in Portuguese, but I will soon do the english one too...

http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wald_(Zurique)

I still have to edit all the shit the previous guy wrote, coz it is just repeating the info on the side box... Oh well, at least I get to learn how to write in Wiki language... One more to add to all the CSS I learned by my own...

current mood: blah

Another day without a job. Still have a bit of hope, but things do not look very bright on my self esteem side. And here is another Chicken Flight...

current mood: blank

I restarted sending applications yesterday. I had to wait for Thomas to be able to translate my Curriculum and Application letter to German. Funny thing is I was refused far too many times in May because I cannot speak the language; but I have been told so many times lately that my German is quite good, that I start thinking it is unfair of them to refuse me on such grounds.

I do not feel well in sending the application, though. Even though my German is good enough for the speaking and for the reading, it is definitely not for the writing. So, somehow, I feel like I am lying when sending the application in German. But my chances are so limited, I should just concentrate on applying. It's a very hard process, coz I am not yet ready to go though out 100 denials again...

Wish me luck people, I really need it. I am sinking quite fast and I need something to keep my head above the dark water...

current mood: sad

I am at work, and today I brought some music with me because there is nothing worse than being forced to work with a dinossaur (ArchiCad 8.1) on the computer ferrari of a Mackintosh (ferrari as in wow gorgeous design for the showing off, but god, give me my Opel back coz it's much easier to drive).

I have the weirdest soundtrack possible and imaginable for work. But while I wait for the dinossaur to start laying the eggs (meaning, finally getting the fucking rendering of the staircase done), i just hum my favourites. Till I got the shock of the playlist jumping from Maximo Park to Muse.

The following image occured to my mind:

It felt like being a cat and being put away from the warm salty arm of my owner that I was so happily chewing on, and given a fresh plate of sofisticated cat cookies to crunch on.


Good thing that I have some Nick Cave to make me depressed enough for the weekend!

THOMAS IS COMING TO ZURICH! WEEEEEEEEH!

P.S.: Why is that my favourite songs never get a videoclip???? The muse song looks cool with Vincent (anything looks good with vincent), but I could imagine a very nice video... oh well...

Got the keys to my new apartment today. The apartment looks even better without all the furniture the old guys had. The problem is now you see how bad the walls look like.

When I said that to the representative from the Renting Company, he responded that the walls have been painted less than a year ago. I don't give a shit. The walls look like shit. So I am going to fill up my paper of checking up the house, join a bunch of photos, a plan with correct measures, and a nice letter.

They have to understand they are not talking to a fucking auslander (foreigner) but to a graduated ARCHITECT that refuses to live in a dirty whole.

You wait and see. I am a stubborn fucker...

current mood: bitchy

I was basically treated like a retarded by my dear collegues because when I saw this:

http://www.dynamicarchitecture.net/

Please play the long version! It gets better (not). Careful with the sound.

In my mind the sentence: "Big menir - The phallic monument to all the men in this world with a lack of self-esteem and with tacky taste", also the "Oh, when is Sauron's eye gonna pop out on top of the tower" or "It is pure and stupid kitsch architecture: it needs an epic soundtrack to look impressive"

I was made fun of, because I am a nostalgic and backward architect, that likes living in the country side (ah ah that is so funny! =\), and had to endure 3 grown up men acting like "my daddy's proche is much better than yours", getting depressed because after THAT there is no place for "normal" architecture anymore.

God, what did people think after they built the Florence Cathedral, or the Pyramids? Did the world end??????
My boss:
- Come on, something that big has to be good!
Me:
- Something that big is sure gonna be impressive. But impressive doesn't necessarily mean it's good.

I think he is mad because I think it's a stupid building/ sculpture, do not agree with him, and told them it looks like a cheap modern Lord of the Rings preview.

Pissed of coz internet doesn't work. 730 km trip went well. Spent last "holiday" weekend in Bavaria with the family of Thomas. Tomorrow is my first day at work and I am a bit nervous. I hope evrything goes ok.

It's my birthday and I am pretty alone at home. It's 9h52 and up to now I got the clothes into the washing machine, cleaned up my room, made breakfast, and tried not to explode with the nerves. I am going to Zurique in a couple of hours to delieve a couple of extra portfolios and ask the guy that really liked me last week if he already decided if he takes me or not... But I want to speak english so that I feel confortable and I think that will not please him.

Then I am going to a book shop (there must be one in Zurique) and buy myself a birthday present, if it's not too expensive. I wanna buy a... SHOCK... Feng Shui book. I wanna read it and apply it in my new home. It's gonna be a fresh start and I want to get all positive vibrations possible into my life start! :)

I found two really nice apartments yesterday. But this night I could not sleep because I got too nervous as in "what if I can't pay it because I get unemployed", or "maybe it's too fast". GOSH I NEED MY FLUFFY! *cry*

current mood: energetic

They still haven't called back. I know it has not even been 24 hours, and that he probably called in the end of work (it was around 17h30). But I am freaking out? I have no contact to call back because of seriously stupidity of mine?

Me freaked?

I am shaking and almost crying. I am a little bit hysterical.

I just got a call from Zurich of a company that is interested in making an interview with me.

They spoke in german and I managed to understand 90% of it (got a bit stuck in one of the questions).

He said he will call back because of the date I should be in there.

It's the first positive thing I get.

I am crying of happiness.

I hope I don't screw up.

current mood: HAPPY!

Feel miserable because I have no job, and to add to it my elbow fucking hurts because of overusage of mouse without suport for the arm.

I barely managed to finish the colours for this one...

current mood: sore
