About a band

Before we begin...
1. Apologies for bad sentence structure, I like, can't be bothered. Also apologies for gratuitous use of the work "like".
2. Ignore this post if you are meant to be writing an honours thesis.


Discovered a U.S. band called Breaking Benjamin while googling lyrics on the net (yes, yes, procrastinating as usual, but I have a headache, so I can't possibly be doing any work anyway), the name caught my eye, so I youtubed* them, and it's like, yay, angsty music! Nothing groundbreaking, but I seem to have a thing for angsty music at the moment. I think they're slightly reminiscent of Evanescence, Hoobastank and Linkin Park, and probably several other bands as well.....anyway, I've never heard of them before, don't know if anyone else has?? I could just be like really out of it...

Anyway, I liked this video in particular for one of their songs, Sooner or Later, and the acoustic version of this other song, Diary of Jane, was pretty cool too.

In other news, I had an informal interview thing for a casual job at a Wynyard pharmacy this morning, turns out they don't really have anything available at the moment, but the pharmacist is opening a new pharmacy nearby soon so they might need someone then...anyone want to bet he'll get back to me...oh well at least I'm taking small steps in the right direction...I think....

*since "google" is now used as a verb, and Google have now acquired Youtube, I figured "youtube" should be used as a verb too

*nods nods* initiative is good *waves flag*

I agree, youtube shall now be a verb, like bussing, training, hopping etc.

Was that Bradford's Pharmacy?

No it was Hunter Connect Pharmacy, which is in the Hunter Connect arcade thing that connects Wynyard Station to Pitt St.

And yes point no. 2 was directed at someone in particular *narrows eyes*....get back to work!

Trees: I know it's a verb my dear, read my last sentence again in a Pun tone ie. cynical, yet nonchalant and casual. ;) And I agree with Viv, get back to work!!

Catie said...

yay for interviews! definitely a good step, and good practise even if you don't get called back. but you may well be! i mean, why not? employers work in mysterious ways, and are very unpredictable...

Youtube as a verb. Oh dear. *sigh* I suppose it was inevitable.

It's amazing that only 3 or 4 months ago almost none of you guys were posting youtube vids in your blog entries. Now there's at least one link to a youtube vid, if not an embed, in almost every post. (Myself not excluded.. but hey, at least I contribute to youtube too.. on that note - *shameless advertising* watch my Italy vids part 1 and part 2 which I painstakingly edited in Adobe Premiere Elements! Lots more to come. :P).
