Sometimes you just have to congratulate yourself on those trivial triumphs.
So, other than making reference to Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine, why am I writing this post? Mostly because I am actually sitting on my bed, surrounded by postcards. I bought many a post card in Vegas to be sent away upon return to Canada (cheaper that way) to my posse of postcard lovers. Actually I'm not really sure if people like me sending them postcards, but I like doing it SO! Onward and upward!
What happened when I returned from my trip to sin city was that I began my practicum. And my practicum became my number one priority while my poor pretty postcards sat abandoned upon my shelf.
So, what better time than now to write my friends? Friends who I just spent the weekend with?
No better time than now.
I have some other news to report. I got a job! YAY FOR EMPLOYMENT!
Employment that doesn't begin for a month so YAY FOR TIME OFF!
It is amazing how quickly I get into the routine of having time for myself. Already I've caught up on television, visited my friends and began watching The Wire. Which is a damn fine television series if I do say so myself. Damn fine. Also damn depressing. I highly suggest watching it if you are in a very stable emotional state and you do not happen to get too attached to sympathetic characters. You should probably read the newby edition of "What's Alan Watching?" as you go along.
Strong blog. He points out a lot of things I miss due to the tears blocking my vision. Perhaps my emotional state isn't solid enough to be experiencing "The Wire". I tried to take a mental health break after the first season. Then I realized that shaw exo on demand has the whole series online for free. Season two here I come! I've learned my lesson though, I refuse to get attached to any loveable characters. Nope, I will not.
Because I have time off I have time to plan my next adventure(s). This is both wonderful and dangerous because I have a tendency to become single minded. My dear, sweet, patient boyfriend has already told me if I become too attached to the idea of going to Disneyland in December (that's right) before the plan is plausible he will begin to veto the topic in daily conversation. I both hate and understand his reasoning.
It really isn't my fault though as my friends and colleagues are the ones that are planning it. How can I not hop on the bandwagon when they talk about it in front of me? I am not strong willed when it comes to all things Disney.
I will be going to Seattle in two weeks which is very exciting. I wish I had more cash, but I'm excited regardless. Torrie and I will be staying at the Tulalip Resort and Casino, which is fannnnncy. Reminds me of a newer, smaller version of Caesars Palace. Just... no statues and more totem poles..... Okay, mostly they are just both super nice and I feel like a queen in the king sized bed.
That is all I really have for the world tonight. There is more Wire to watch before the night is through and the streets of Baltimore are calling.
