Events Between the Howls
Mid-December already, and yes, I’ve been a bad blogger. Coal in Schubert’s stocking this year…Oh maybe next year I’ll be more attentive to my site, maybe I’ll also work at a food bank and donate more money to the cat shelters of this town and eat more vegetables and call my grandmother more often.
Well, we can hope.
Today, a day I took off work so I could write my translation exam, was punctuated with howls from my mentally ill cat. It has not been a relaxing day. I had cookies for breakfast (thanks Kersten), did two loads of laundry, found out I got a C on my latest school assignment (which, for a perfectionist like myself is like getting an H-) and the black cat cried on. Went out to the vet to get the desperate feline his dose of Pro-cat-zac and then popped in at the local pub for a quick lunch and coffee (+ shot)…The pub was having their Customer Christmas party later that night, but I’m having to miss it. Short, yam-faced drummer came in to set up his kit for the evening. Turns out he’s from Winnipeg too. He says he likes we must have a lot in common and that he likes green — do I like green too? Sure, I like green. And black and dark red and white. Oh, I know a line when I hear it, though I haven’t heard many lately.
Talked to Neilio 5 times today. Absence makes the heart grow even fonder, n’est-ce pas? He’s busy catching up with students and old friends. I don’t think he can be missing the manic depressive cat episodes.
Looking forward to getting this translation exam sent off tomorrow. Will celebrate by going out for brunch, a nice relaxing yoga class, buying a bottle of Christmas cheer and renting a suitably fuzzy, heartwarming chick movie. Maybe Love, Actually, though I saw it last year. It’s worth it just for 2 minutes of Rodrigo Santoro in his skivvies.
Hot bath cooling off. Listening to the Stars right now. Missed the boat — I think both shows at the Mod Club sold out. Oh, well.
Good night.
