Watched MOTD on BBC2 last night when Arsenal endearingly pissed 4-1 on Norwich. And I don't even like football. What the fuck is happening to me? Henry in the post-match interview was hilarious. Just the way he speaks is sufficient to crack me up. Anyway earlier on, the Belgian GP was even better than the Hungarian one, but that was hardly going to be a difficult thing to achieve, given the Hungary race had all the life of a 90 year old homosexual witch in a coma. I suspect that I might also profess a small preference for Belgium because I won £65 on Kimi. That'll teach the bookies. Sometimes they have no idea about F1. Although it was a waste putting £5 each way on Coulthard (stupid, stupid, stupid) and only £2.50 each way on Raikkonen. (started 10th, won the race) Remind me to never ever put money on Coulthard (started 4th, finished 9th) again. I wonder what I should gamble on when the F1 season ends in October. Now that the Olympics are also over, it seems football (yuck) and horse racing are the only options. I know squat about both...
Unsuccessful attempts to get a temp job continue. It puzzles me why O2 should want to interview me for over 2 hrs for a job that isn't even 20 hrs a week ... and why HSBC should want temp associates in Leeds "who can work 2 years minimum". Perhaps the world has gone insane and 'temps' are actually widely considered 'permanent'.
Aside from starting Kundera's Unbearable Lightness of Being, I have been mooching around the house listening to Brendel playing the most famous Beethoven piano sonatas. I must confess I don't actually admire Brendel's style much. He seems to have a very ill-considered sense of time and metre. But since it's the only recording I have of these masterworks I suppose it will have to do.
Listening to: Beethoven 'Tempest', 'Waldstein', 'Appassionata', 'Pathetique', 'Moonlight' Sonatas (Brendel)
