Days away

Categories:

Sun. August 29, 2004

It’s a very odd feeling to know that I’m heading back to Waterloo in just 3 days. A little while ago I made a mental note to call Bell Sympatico to have my Internet moved over to residence. I wanted to do it early because I knew that it usually took 5 days to put the order through. Through a series of bouts of procrastination though, I ended up putting the order through just this past Saturday. They said that it will get moved on Thursday at the latest.

Shit.

Well, so much for that. No matter. I get 10 free hours of dial up with them for such occasions.

I’m not ready at all. I still need to go grocery shopping. I need to pack and get my belongings together. I need to arrange a time to get my keys. So much to do, so little time. I’m hoping and praying that I won’t forget anything important.

Phil Booth: August 26, 2004

It’s ridiculous. It’s the first day off when I can sleep in…and what do I do? I wake up at 6 in the morning.

Anyway, here’s my horoscope by Phil Booth in today’s Toronto Star. I’d say it’s appropriate for my situation over the next few months.

Scorpio
You have far better things to do with your life than limit yourself by fearing the narrow-minded opinions of people whose only connection with you is their close physical proximity. So, don’t hesitate to say or do something today that is begging to be acknowledged.

Holy crap tonight sucked.

Ben blew John Dore. Ben told Theresa that if the guys weren’t treating her well he had a little juice for her. Ben wore a pink shirt.

Shane go bye byeI can’t imagine Theresa or Kalan in the bottom 3, so Shane, Jacob (no matter how well he did), and Jason will be there. Shane forgot the words to his song. Time’s up! Mr Nine-lives has run out of luck.

This site is just fun to read when I’m killing time. It fits in with my sense of humour, and seems to update daily.

I think I was lying in bed semi-consciously listening to the radio when my mom started pounding on my door.

*pound*pound*pound* “It’s 6 o’clock!!”

Damn it all, I still wanted to sleep. Of course, if I let mom go and waited for the van, I probably would arrive at work at 10, meaning I’d have to stay until 7. Screw that. I ran around getting my things together still planning on leaving at 6:20. I had to stop though at one point because outside our big window facing east you could see the most beautiful red/gold/violet sunrise. Honestly, I had to just stop and take a picture. I doubt it came out though with all the colours I saw. It really is a pity. I’ll have to wait and see I guess when I get home.

I was just looking at this journal’s calendar. This month’s entries have been spotty at best. Pretty unfortunate. I guess though that’s the usual fault of there just being not much to talk about. Ah, but that’s not true. Maybe I’m just occupying myself with activities taking my mind away from wanting to update this thing.

You know, still, despite the occasional melodramatic rant and/or meltdown, I don’t want this place to become another journal containing an average guy’s mental drawl outlining how I might be bored, or just plain tired. I am making conscious efforts not to sink into that, but if I do, please remind me otherwise.

Various musings lie inside.

Floating, but sinking into apathy

Categories:

Sat. August 21, 2004

Various news, I guess.

There are now just three days of work left. I’m pretty damn excited. It’s not so much that work really sucks (no matter how much I may bitch about it) , but I think I’m just ready for another change. I’m a bit tired of sitting in cubicle world all day staring at a computer screen. The few times I’ve gone out of office to go to the mall, or have a good lunch were perhaps the best times of the term. I’ve learned a lot at work, and I’m sure I can carry that with me to future jobs. However, in the end, it’s the good times that stick in my mind as happier moments.

Of course, now that school is approaching, I have to do one of those wretched work term reports. I don’t have a specific topic. I don’t know where to begin. I realize that with frosh week I will definitely be unable to focus on anything report-related for a good week or two. Despite this, I really don’t care too much. Well, no, I do care. It’s just that the immediate urge to get on top of this is not there.

You know, this sense of apathy is starting to spread to so many other things in my life.

Eight Easy Steps Music Video

Categories:

Sat. August 21, 2004

Oh, my eyes! I’ve just seen the new music video for Eight Easy Steps by Alanis. I think it’s an awesome video–and this isn’t from me being biased towards Alanis, it genuinely is a cool video. I has a lot of clips of her in her previous videos as well as some home movies. That in itself would be kind of boring, but in those clips her mouth has been digitally edited. The result is that it looks like she’s singing the lyrics to her new song.

Keep an eye out for it.
