Dec. 5th, 2002 03:10 pmin theory, today should be better then yesterday.
most of yesterday was a really rough day, and right now, i'm having a hard time shifting focus from how much it sucked that i almost broke. just need to find other stuff to shift my attention to.
spending time with him was good, in its own way. i'm really hoping he'll feel much better very soon.
i'm looking forward to realizing that the weekend is nearer and nearer.
i must get to target soon because the house has been freezing, which is not conducive to wanting to clean it, or spend much time out of bed, period.
also have homework to do tonight. the unit project is intimidating, but i'm trying to concentrate on the fact that i'm taking the easy way out, that i have a large margin for error, and that the assignment i get to do right afterwards (reading artaud) should be fun. yeah.
then, at some point sooner then later, i get to watch a movie of my choice and write and essay on it, and then the class will be done. yay.
and even if i take the insane course, i will still have over two weeks without a hint of schoolwork. yay.
looks like varekai will be in NY sometime between the next spring and fall. i'll be really surprised if i don't end up there. in fact, unless they announce dates for boston, or send allegria or saltimbanco somewhere that i can see them, i plan on being there. yeah : )
dralion is going to be in montreal for memorial day weekend (ie, the almost-annual montreal trip-time) and i'm thinking i won't see it again. it wasn't one of my favorites, and the presale for tickets is already finishing up. i'm in no place to organize a may trip now, and i don't think anyone is ready to commit to such a thing even if i did try. and the odds of getting good seats in march will be like zil to none. c'est la vie. there are many firsts to be had in life, and this'll be the second time i miss dralion (i had tickets to the boston show last year, but ended up on a cruiseboat instead) and the second time i've missed a cirque performance (because when in HS, i was dumb and said no to seeing alegria for the second time because i still had a big crush on the boy i cuddled with the first time i saw alegria. and no, that's not supposed to be logical).
one of the cool thing about being around her family is that just on turkey day, i had more coffee and alcohol then i would in a week (and sometimes two!) at home. if i were smart, i'd keep up my consumption to maintain the tolerances i started to develop, but i don't think i'm that dedicated to the cause. all i have to say is that whiskey sours made from scratch (like, even orange juice right from an orange) rock, and the stuff made in bars really pales in comparison.
my sinus bug is still here.
its subsided a bit, but doesn't want to let go completely. i really hate this, because if i go to the dr, they'll most likely put me on antibiotics for it. but, i was on antibiotics last month, and have to take some for a dentist appointment in a couple of weeks, and even more antibiotics is really low on the list of things i want in my body. *grumble*
when i called my mom yesterday, abi picked up the phone. she talked to me for a tiny bit, and then i heard my mom ask her who it is. and abi said 'yulia'. i had assumed that my mom had checked the caller id, saw that it was me, and told abi to get the phone. turned out, she's been running to get the phone whenever it rings, and manages to recognize almost everyone who calls. and when i expressed my shock, my mom said 'well, she's a big girl now'. *blink* (a) she's not even three yet! (b) what happened to my baby sister??
when at h&m last week, i saw the best set-up changing rooms ever. the mirrors are pre-arranged at all the right angles. aside from showing me how the new clothes i was buying looked, they also showed me that i really need to get in shape/tone asap. i'm really hoping to force myself to stick with some sort of exercise routine this time around.
some little things from the trip:
i'd forgotten all about the smell of cold southern california nights. its such a distinct smell... very close to campfire smell, and yet so different.
i got to drive on a highway that had 8 lanes going the same way. whee!
i got caught up on this season of sopranos in 2 days. i think i'm starting to stomach it better. one of these days, i might post pictures of my father's family, just to show the similarity, although, for better or for worse, i don't think i have any pictures of my stepmom.
enterprise has the quickest car-return possible. you pull up, they glance over the car and hand you a receipt before you're done getting the stuff out of the trunk. or, at least, thats what happened to me. and, they forgot to charge me the underage fee. yay!
and (hours later) its snowing and i have a headache.
i should be in a bath, hot chocolate in hand. (actually, i started that while living in california.. on rainy days, i'd take a cup of hot chocolate, my cd player & the phone to take a bath)
