Happy Easter, to those who celebrate it.
I always find it a bit strange, to be focusing on death and emptiness on Good Friday when everything around is bursting into life. Didn't feel I connected much with the services but then figured that the disconnection was where I was at just now and that I should stay with it rather than try to invoke something more affirming. And I did feel a little twinge of life during the Easter service, so here's hoping.
Didn't get either of the two jobs I interviewed for, though one was close enough that they actually took a day longer than they'd planned to decide. So not feeling too down about it, though still have no bloody idea what I'm supposed to be doing with my life, which is getting frustrating. Meanwhile I have three week's work lined up with one of Little Whinging's most prominent employers, so I'm looking forward to seeing how they work. Job itself sounds pretty interesting too - certainly temping in the South seems to yield more interesting work than in Scotland.
On a more trivial note, I was highly amused at the Harry Potter references in last night's Doctor Who. Crossover goes pro... almost. ;)
Am rather less impressed by the UK book cover art, though - at first glance it as the same cartoonish distortion as Terry Pratchet books, far more so than the others. I suppose HBP was heading that way, but the flames distracted from the character's faces somewhat, and the back cover art was appropriately atmospheric. For once, I'm actually more drawn to the US art. Wonder if it's possible to change my Sectus bookorder for the adult version? I have the adult version of the first book, so at least it wouldn't completely spoil the sequence.
