She's on fire

There's a great pseudo-song on Grand Theft Auto 3 called "She's on fire" that for some reason I have stuck in my head right now. The really sad part of this is that the song is only two or three lines long, so when it's repeating over and over and over it's like a car tumbling down the side of a cliff just rolling over and over and over. Maybe that's a little too intense, but it is what it is.

Speaking of intense - New Zealand has some pretty f'ed up public service announcement ads on TV. I have to search for them on YouTube or something because everyone HAS to see them. They're good ads with good intent (i.e. don't drink and drive, don't speed, etc.) but they all end up with someone dieing. One that we saw last night was a guy drinking at a party and he threw a kid into an entertainment center killing him. They're about a minute long and just freaky. I'm going to find some tomorrow for ya'll.


By now you're all going "What is he talking about? I want to know about New Zealand, not the crazy stuff that goes on in your head, mate!" So - New Zealand.

Amy worked @ the wine store two nights ago and liked it. She's waiting to hear back from them and the French restaurant to see when she's working. I had an interview today and I have another one tomorrow. Hopefully something will pan out. The one I had today was with yet another recruitment agency, which is great because I'm getting really comfortable talking with them. The lady commented at the end that after talking with me that she learned a lot more about my position @ SVA and thought I was capable of a lot of different roles and was really impressed by my 2-3 years experience crammed full of good things. What can I say, I put on a tie and the Zach-magic just starts coming out my pores.

It's crazy how bad the economy is affecting EVERYTHING. When I started looking @ jobs a month or two ago there were 3,000+ IT jobs for hire in New Zealand, and now there's less than 1,500. The NZ elections are coming up in November too, so people are waiting to see what they're going to do about the economy like us.

This keyboard SUCKS. I'm in a shady internet cafe and this keyboard does NOT want to type things at all. Tomorrow we get our internet installed so I can do more blogging then without all these issues.

Hope everyone is doing well, and we'll get to responding to facebook mssgs, and week or so old emails tomorrow!
