well these canvases were handmade, over 2metres square, pop art images and sexy ladies, and ridiculously cheap for what they were, next show of his we are putting dem prices UP baby UP!

MB show will all come down to how hard everyone promotes it to their crews as well as what I do on the gallery side etc!

BU my perfect job opening applications tomorrow. ZOMG. Got a bit carried away with my letter of intent - have been trying to make it less than 3 pages

. Is 10pt too small?? Built.for.job. Gimme.
BU discovering that my research job application is in pretty good shape. (Small downs to hearing this via a shortlisting for a place I don't want to go! Do NOT want to have to choose between work and life again.)
BU a sneaky weekend in Austin in a couple of weeks

BU only three months left in this dump!

10pt can be too small, depending on font - IMHO

less is more with applications and general writing IMO. shows ability to distill message and get point across.

Will try printing it tomorrow and see how it comes up. It's not super long in 11pt, but has an awkward trailing paragraph that bumps it to 3 pages. Mebbe will run around in circles for a bit, then try to cut out some of the more delirious wordiness

. I miss words. Well, I miss when words got to just be lovely words and didn't have to be beaten into a vessel for mathematics

Oh, also BU random sunny weather: 21ºC tomorrow! Mind you, back to -2ºC on Tuesday
