How much wood can I knock on?

So had the interview yesterday. And I still was not very centred either. Ever had a massive jag in your chest where you feel you could start bawling again at the drop of a penny? Well, that was me all yesterday. I'd woken up around 6, and my alarm wasn't set to go off until 9. Played some Pokemon to try and get back to sleep, but I could hear my Dad tromping around upstairs, so I put my headphones on and tried to block it out. It worked, but I have those big headphones which aren't much fun to sleep w/. Anyways, I nodded on-off until 9, and tried to wake up. Anyways, I dunno w/ the interview. It seemed to go okay. I believe I impressed them w/ some of my answers. I know there was one that I had a hard time thinking of a past experience. Which of course came to me as I was on the bus home. Dang, I hate that. Especially when I was constantly repeating to myself on what experiences to mention, and it could've applied. Argh! But here's hoping that they call my references, b/c I know my former colleagues miss me. *knocking on wood shelves*

Anyways, my brother talked to my Dad, and we'll try to be civil. However even today, my chest feels really tight at times. I guess that's the only way to describe it. Unless it's a chest cold. Been quite sniffly lately. Lots of mucus dripping and coughing. And my eyes are very tired.

So finally catching up on my Hellblazer, and I noticed in Issue 240 (yes, it's dated for March 08) that everyone except for 1 person, had blue eyes. Including all the Chinese/Korean characters. Considering that blue eyes are a recessive trait, it seems statistically unlikely that the 2 Asian characters would have blue eyes. The only people with different coloured eyes was an old African shaman (brown) and the villain (demonic red but that's for dramatic effect, I believe). Therefore my conclusion is that the colourist Lee Loughridge, was very lazy and focused more on creating a mood than anything else. And it was very annoying b/c Leonardo Manco did an excellent job portraying all the different "races". Yes, that's right, it annoyed me so much that I had to blog about it. But isn't that what this is for?
