Unemployment Woes

So I have posted anything for a while, it's mostly due to feeling depressed not being able to find a job. I've been applying to several jobs per day on average and have had two job interviews since I last posted. One was at a company called Titan Gaming who design slot machine games for casinos and it went really well but they ended up not hiring me because my German isn't good enough. The other interview was at Starbuck's and they said they would hire me if I commit to working there for several months but I'm not sure if I should settle for that yet.

If you've ever looked at my Current Music section in the upper right, you'll have seen that I'm listening to The Futureheads. Somehow Vienna is hosting 3 of the bands up there this month. I already missed Ratatat, but Marlene and I went to see The Futureheads last night. It was pretty strange since I'm used to First Ave of Minneapolis which was recently declared as one of the 10 best rock venues of the entire USA. The concert was at the Szene Wien which only has space for a couple hundred people and it wasn't even full. That wasn't disappointing to me at all because I was able to stand right in front of the stage and catch the lead guitarist's pick at the end. Afterwards, we hung around outside the door to get backstage because it was right next to the coat-check and bar area and I got to meet the lead singer and get a picture with him.



Please notice now that I've added two entries to my Current Music and they are Girl Talk and Pendulum. Girl Talk makes remixes rather than original music so his albums are completely free to download - http://illegal-art.net/allday/. Pendulum is a sweet band from Australia who will be on tour supporting Linkin Park (who suck) in January so they'll be at Xcel Energy Center on Jan 28. I strongly recommend going to see them!
