Swimming in a cold foggy lake at 5am. With your clothes on, preferably.

After last night I should probably assign my work.
I work at a music venue/bar/nightclub and besides the "usual" benifits as cheap beer when going out, free conserts, free drinks while working and a very good pay (for unskilled labour), there is also some mornings that are just amazing. Last night (6am) when we had closed down "our" part of the venue we went out back to have some beers with our co-workers as we usually do, but this time was special. As it was more of a "morning party" than "after work beer". When we entered the room there was a few cases of beer and soda standing there and 2 bottles of vodka or gin, which is a bit out of the ordinary (normaly only beer) and after a while this guy came in with a massive champagne cooler which where filled with 1 bottle of Stolichnaya, 2 bottles of 7 year Havana Club and 5 bottles of champagne. . .now I don't know what the market price is for these bottles, but we charge over $100 for them. Of course there is downsides to this job as well, but I shal save that for Mordor and a day where I am annoyed with my job.

Watching LotR on our new telly. It is a 38" flat screen thingy, all digital and LCD and what have you. And I swear its like a whole new world. I mean our old telly wasn't bad at all, it was quite big and did its job, but this...well, wow.....

Hey Rune, I would totally assign your workplace too. I remember those drinks and they were amazing. And I still can't believe I missed a Panic at the Disco! concert there only by a couple days. Lucky you who gets to work at such a cool place.

Like I said, not getting a summer job belongs to the Shire. I was ordered to try and get one so I applied for one somewhat against my will. So did 1019 other teenagers. And there were places for 5. Yes, I'm quite good, but luckily not that good. Never had a job so far and ain't hurrying for one. Parents pay for a roof, parents pay for food. That's all I need (I do get much more than I need though, no worry of that.). But free time, that they can't give - how could they, when they'd do anything to get some for themselves. I guess that covers it. Happy summer!

I assign painting, Lauri had a birthday party two days ago and it was wonderfully fun, not only the card that I made for her which had numerous Downs references in it, but we got to PAINT!!!! I painted a rather bad looking tree and she painted the Plains of Rohan... with cucumbers? Anyway, I would like to paint today, after my brother and I clean the house, which he doesn't like to do, but that may have something to do with the fact that he's seven...

I assign using school as an excuse to buy books you want.
But mostly? I assign the very nice philosophy professor who is letting me write analytical aesthetics papers on graphic novels instead of modern art so that I can relabel the course as advanced English instead of advance Philosophy and count it toward graduation.
