a bleak midwinter's gift

I was gifted with a bit of a snow day this morning. I have no class on Fridays and am currently in the process of unethusiastically seeking part time work. I'm less than stoked because I already have a job, a pretty involved one, but it's an internship/ field placement for school and I do not get paid for it. I had an interview scheduled this morning for a position that seemed much more involved and hardcore than I am looking for, but I was still planning to go to the interview. Last night after Veronica Mars night, I parked my car at a meter, realizing I'd have to move it, but figured it would just reinforce my alarm clock. Moving my car to close to 30 minutes as I had to remove the layer of winter not only on the windows, hood, roof, etc, but also by the tires, (some idiot was also pulled perpendicular out into the one way street and scraping, but i digress). When I came back into my apartment, my phone was beeping with that annoying missed call indicator. The woman from HR had informed me she was 'working from home due to weather.' She has been very long winded in an awkward, overly professional manner each time I have spoken to her on the phone, so it took her awhile to get to the gist. For a split second, I thought she was going to have me come to her house to interview, but no, she told me to call her monday to reschedule. 

This gave me the morning to catch up on all my pressing issues. The first being the newest episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks. As most of you know, this show became an obsession this summer. It is only on BBC 2 so I watch it online. This week's episode was pretty solid. My favorite parts were the James Nesbitt pint bit and Simon calling Joe Goddard 'Hot Chip' every time. I always like it the best when Bill Bailey and Phil Jupitus laugh out loud and there was plenty of that this week. I still don't know if the guy they replaced at the beginning was really from a band called 'flip chart hiatus'? or was that a joke? I am used to not knowing a lot of the up and coming band members they have on the show, but I've never heard of this guy or band and I don't know why he'd go along with that. His video looked faked, and his outfit is way too much of a get up. I think he was a PA on the set or something. Also, I kind of miss Simon taking political digs. The first couple episodes have some real low blows at Bush. 

My mother called and wanted to make sure I was up to date on all my celebrity gossip, specifically the Sarah Silverman/Matt Damon clip, which I hadn't seen but later watched. Now I am just procrastinating starting my research proposal and doing cleaning.
