I am applying to the ones that are bolded.
I probably will not be able to get letters of reference in time for my interview (if, I even pass the first round of selection... but I'm banking that I should. I did last year, and I'm basically handing the exact same application and cover letter in with a few additions..) but maybe maybe maybe they'll be lenient because of the strike.

If not, I still have the opportunity to go to Washington for 3 months during the summer and work at the IDB.

NOW IF I COULD ONLY GET A JOB...

boners

Okay, to make it clear, I did not say I was a fan of any of the music in my last post. I just said that it was interesting and not to knock it till you've tried it.

So now, moving on to things that I DO like....

Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal

This song is perfect for this time of year, and after obsessing over their take away show (un concert a emporter) and ensuing musical boners, I found the official music video for it, and visual boners began accompanying the aural.

I CANNOT STOP WATCHING/LISTENING TO THIS.

alahlfhdhdkjghlfhgkghf. so amazing.

Speaking of animation...

CORALINE!

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE TO COME OUT.

I will watch it. It will be in 3D, and my mind will be blown.

For additional bonerage, go to http://www.coraline.com/ - you can spend HOURS on there. (Trust me..)

and continuing on with the theme of movies (and boners):

500 Days of Summer

I AM ALSO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE TO COME OUT.

Joseph Gordon Levitt + Zooey Deschanel together?

PERMABONER.

Okay, is it just me, or is the voice over completely WRONG for this movie?

The voiceover and the title being repeated 500 billion times gives me hope that this movie will not be as cliched as it looks like it's going to be. It makes me think that there will be a couple of really awkward/strange twists thrown in.

I hope it is not another Across the Universe - which, while bonerific with music and Jude and colours and all that wonderful stuff, lacked a plotline.
