Because I make the rules around here, today is the second to last NaBloPoMo post for me. I can’t believe I managed 20 posts in… *counts* 26 days, go me! I’m not sure what the new schedule around here will be next month… I haven’t found daily blogging a complete chore, but some days it’s a struggle to think of something to write about that isn’t totally boring. Taking part in more meme-type posts has made it easier, so I’d like to keep taking advantage of those, instead of thinking ‘yea, I’ll get round to that soon’ and never doing it.

Anyways, for today, some random points I’d like to share:

• I watched a really great movie last night, Breaking and Entering, with Jude Law. At first I thought he was a bit of a prat, but once I saw a few of his movies I started really liking him. The great thing about this movie is it’s not famous or great simply because he’s in it. It’s a great movie and he is good for the part. Plus he’s not looking like his usual self, in some scenes he looked comparatively awful in fact! But good movie nonetheless, I really enjoyed it.

• Today marks the two-week countdown to my departure from my current job. It also marks my one-year anniversary in the job. After 6 months in any position you are supposed to get a pay rise. Today I finally received that pay rise. Only 6 months after I should have. Am desperate for the back pay, I’m pissed that it didn’t arrive before I moved house, because in the mean time everything’s gone on the credit cards and now I need to pay them off!

• Today I got my first christmas card. I’ll share that tomorrow, cos there’s a story behind it all and I can’t be bothered telling it and uploading to Flickr right now. I also found some great instructions that I think might actually work to insert a Flickr pic directly to my blog posts. If it works I’ll let you know. I’ll also post more often, because pictures aren’t the easy way out of a decent post right now. It’s very time consuming in fact.

• Am doing ok but also struggling with the cooking for one thing. Had mexican 3 times and still have mix leftove. That went in the freezer in the end. I’m fine with cooking two portions and having leftovers for lunch, but sometimes it’s hard to get motivated to even cook at all! This week I’ve had home made pizza (don’t even get me started on the supermarket debacle that entailed!), burritoes (twice, plus once for lunch!), satay beef, and tonight I’m thinking spag bol. I’m not enthralled by that option, but a) it’s easy and b) it’ll reheat well. I prefer chicken over beef in my dinners, but I can’t stand reheated chicken, it tastes so gross, beef reheats better.
