anonymoose_au10:45pm: Haha, I sincerely doubt it, but Project Plushy - the Babushka dolls have attracted some attention from other Plushy fans, how fun! :O)
Sadly for me, Australia doesn't have a Babushka-making industry, so there goes that as a career option...damn, kind of makes me wish I'd been born in an earlier time when such artisan trades were still viable career options.
On the other hand, there was no internet back then...the trade is probably not worth it. :OP
Hmmm, I'm watching TV right now and there's an add for an animal circus...I thought they banned those things in Australia? Although some years ago an animal circus came to the park across the street and my family went over to see the elephant. The elephant seemed to be OK, but really, they belong in their natural habitat, or at the very least a spacious zoo!
In other news, work today and happily my IBS got the memo and didn't bother me today, yay :O) So all the magazines were priced and put out and there was also stationery that needed pricing too, so yeah, good times. Man...I get joy from such weird things, don't I?
But I've got my introductory appointment with the Life coach person next Tuesday, so here's hoping she can help me put my best foot forward in the job hunt. Fingers crossed people!
What else to report? Not much, I was going to go to the gym after work, but the weather turned to shit and I couldn't be bothered, but yeah I'll have to go tomorrow otherwise I'm just donating money to the gym rather than actually using it LOL!
Hmmm and with nothing else to report, I guess I'll Meme and run:

Plot or Characters?
Which is more important when you read — the actual story or the characters? I’ve read books with great plots, but two-dimensional characters, and I’ve read multi-layered characters stuck in clunky stories, and I’m sure you have, too. So which would you rather focus on, if you couldn’t have both?
Well, as a reader of such trashy books at the Sweet Valley series, it's possible neither is important to me :OP But I think that characters are most important to me. I've read many a book with a crummy plot, but interesting characters which was enough to keep me hooked although the crappy plots would leave me rolling my eyes more than once. But yeah, I tend to get attached to characters.
Air Crash Confidential is on at the moment, they're looking at accidents caused by bad weather, including that flight over the Amazon that broke up leaving a lone survivor who fell some 30,000 feet into the forest and miraclously survived. We saw a movie about it at school once, it was a Hell of a story! But yeah, I can't even imagine getting through such a situation, surviving a plane crash and being stuck in the jungle for 11 days with an infected wound. o.O
Aaand that's pretty much all I have to say for now - although The Simpsons: Tapped Out has been going a lot better for me lately! Not so much crashing and I've been getting random premium currency and other stuff. Heh, probably all part of sucking me in.
And now, I bid you all goodnight!
