But not an angsty one. It will be rather dull for [livejournal.com profile] nico_wolfwood, who just heard all this from me on the phone.

I would just like to comment that "Holidays from places that don't exist" is cool. I've only seen tonights, about Transdniestria, which is on the edge of Moldova (which I hadn't heard of either, I suck) near the Ukraine and is like this wierd throwback to communism while the rest of Moldova is all western (both are ex-USSR, with the lotsa poor peasants/a few rich 'businessmen' split that implies) The presenter went fishing with the Moldovan president then got arrested in Transdniestria for trying to film a secret russian army base, it was cool :)

Am..very tense about second interview on Tuesday (paid, as some people were unsure on this) I have to be all professional and self-PR-y which is not in my nature. Hanging out in unisfa and the maths department makes me forget that compared to normal people I'm really rather socially awkward :)

Currently reading "The Galactic Whirlpool", a David Gerrold Star Trek book I got for $2. Its odd reading original Star Trek, given I was a huge fan back in early 94(*) and haven't had much contact with it since then at all.

I know Sweden is large, but part of me feels I should introduce [livejournal.com profile] skaggig_man and [livejournal.com profile] furikoneko, so she could show him the sights and he could persuade her to come to sunny Oz for her postgrad.

(*)And then I discovered real science fiction, and have never looked back
