1st August 2026 -- Plans
Good evening, everyone. I have plans for August. This is the month where shit happens. I started off this month by going to see Danger Diabolik at the GFT, which was a campy little romp I enjoyed very much. I also took the train, something I have not done in decades -- turns out, the train may save me money over the bus in the long run, and I won't have to deal with as many minorities! It is also quicker, and more fun, and I probably get a bit more exercise because of the added walking.
I also have a job interview on Tuesday, with the Coop. 12 hours, part-time, 'Customer Team Member' role. Retail is not something I have desired to do, but it's not too many hours, and it'll help support me financially when my gibs get taken from me in September. I trust it goes well, and I will rehearse as much as I can to act like a normal person. You see genuine lobotomites running the local stores, surely a more competent lobotomite such as myself would be desirable? The Coop is also nice because it's middle class, and it's right next to the train station, which is super convenient. Wish me luck or I will kill myself when your unwished luck loses me the job.
I want to do a little creative project -- a fully realised app prototype. I'm not sure what for yet, but it would be nice to have a comprehensive example of my UI/UX work before I start my more specialised course (with a scholarship to boot!). This would ideally be paced neatly throughout the month and I could get it finished before my course begins at the latest. I also want to read up on the 'required' reading for my course, as I feel as that would obviously benefit me, even if design books can veer into pretentious territory.
So that's about it for today, and the last little while. I hope hope hope to god these work out and I can actually achieve those goals alongside my usual hobbies.
