Llama Farming

So this week I've been pondering the rest of my life. While I struggle and to-and-fro between journalism and law, a dark horse has suddenly come up from the back of the field. It's so simple, yet genius. I should farm Llamas! Brilliant!
Why?
1. They're a source of tasty meat
2. They're damn awesome. Look at this one:


As if to convince me further, I've discovered that there is a band known as the Llama Farmers. It is quite evidently a sign and one that I would be foolish to ignore.

What I found intriguing when I was in South America was that Llamas belong to a family of animals which also include Al-Pacas (which most people would know, I'm sure) but also the far rarer 'Vicuna'. In fact, these are so rare that all of the animals are owned by the government which then sells their fur, which is worth a lot more than the fur of the first two families. Why all of this llama-related information, I hear you ask? Well, why not! Although if you want to follow my exact train of thought, I'll lay it out beneath this lovely vicuna diagram:

Firstly, I was looking for a job and came across a pub known as the 'Goat and Tricycle'. Now, I have an irrational soft-spot for goats. But even with this in mind, it struck me that this was one of the best pub names I'd ever heard, far outstripping the 'Anchor' and 'George' which crop up in every village across the U.K. So then it occurred to me - if I were to name a pub, what would it be? Stealing the goat-ish theme would feel akin to plagiarism, so I went farther afield for my animal-based muse.


I'm waffling a bit.

Sorry!

Right,
Totally hasn't been a year since I've blogged.

Many things have happened:
- I'm only to be a student for a month longer
- This terrifies me
- I've decided to go on an epic adventure across Asia
- I've discovered I rather like tiger bread and hummus. How middle class.

So, I only have two exams til' the end of my university life. Surely this is a good thing, I hear you say! Well, I'm certainly looking forward to a couple of months revision and essay free. However, I haven't got a job yet, which means I'm facing the wide world and my next voyage with a little bit of trepidation at how I'm going to manage. Hence, I've been having a little bit of a think about what I could do short-term.

Selling books! Yes. That's what I came up with after a period of deliberation.

I love reading, which partly inspired my choice of law as a degree. But, the wonderful truth about law is that it takes up a lot of time with reading materials which aren't as gripping as I might like. In fact, for a short while, I was actively avoiding reading because law had left me utterly disenchanted.

Thankfully, I've recently read most of the Game of Thrones books, which have re-inspired my passion for literature.

So, I'm going to go look for jobs at book shops. Wish me luck.
