Of RL, faux!Numb3rs and World Cup
Jun. 13th, 2006 12:40 pmHee flist! I found a job! Or the job found me, whatever. I had an interview this morning and they said I was in. It's a CDD so it won't be a permanent one but it does mean that I'll be employed from September to December - and since the Winter Job starts mid-november and lasts 'til January, it also means I'll have a salary till 2007, it's a thing of JOY, people :-)
Also wanna know where I'll work? Cause it's awesome *bounces* I'll work... at the Sorbonne! Yes, the oh so famous and beautiful and classy and historically charged university omg! So okay, as long as I don't have the contract in my hot lil' hands, signed by all parties, I'm not stopping from crossing my fingers because you never know what might happen but still, I'm quite excited!
And something else incredible - I, Mousey Mouse, bought a skirt. As in, not jeans. Yes. SAM, Rosie, remember when I was whining that I couldn't find the kind of skirt I wanted? Well that was then, cause I found it today. I'll have to warn the whole family and assorted friends when I'll wear it for the first time though as - tbf!Sandrine's wedding excluded - they haven't seen me in a skirt since *counts* Around twenty years? Or more. But man a) it's so bloody hot that I thought it would be a good idea and b) I've been in the mood for a little change for some time so there.
For something a little less boring now - well, if you're into Numb3rs, or else it'll be as boring, mind you - I've just watched the original, unaired pilot of the series. Hee it was fun! The same but so different. Don wasn't Don, Alan wasn't Alan, Terry wasn't Terry. Charlie was Charlie but without Teh Curls, Amita was Amita but with glasses and Larry - Larry was Larry, as well as David who was David.
The spirit was the same, though the brother issue was a tad more emphasised from the start maybe. Not!Don wasn't so bad at all, but much more... reserved than our!Don? I don't know, our!Don is a pretty passionate man, not!Don sounded and acted in a more subdued way somehow, I think. He didn't suck, nor did not!Alan but man, they're not our Big Brother and Daddy Eppes, you know? *hugs current cast* I'm glad they changed some of the maths sequences though because I love the ones we have in the 'real' show but they were too much in the original one; like they were all over the place with quotes appearing on the screen at all times and stuff. Also that pilot seems to expose so many things, wow. As if they wanted to say it all in forty-two minutes.
Oh and a quote I loved from not!Alan to not!Don [about Charlie] "He's still trying to solve that problem he's been working on since high school... How to impress his big brother." Which, I know, isn't a new quote per se but I love that they knew what they wanted to do with the Eppes family from the start, even from the faux!Numb3rs :-)
A little football ref now: I'm rooting for both France and Italy so yesterday should have been a good day since Italy won against Ghana but seriously? I thought Ghana played and fought so well that I was almost disappointed that they didn't win, or at least score once. Hopefully I won't have that kind of traitorous thought later this afternoon when Les Bleus play!
