I won't even try to make any excuses. I've been procrastinating. And still working on that run through regarding my dad's visit. I suppose it's also because I got extremely frustrated writing THAT run through when the hotel's network decided to go bonkers on me, and I lost sentence upon sentence of hurried writing despite the fatigue and tiredness I was feeling. Yaargh. That was so frustrating. Hopefully, I play it smarter this time and just update with real short entries ;) Verboseness can really be a bane, sometimes. So can being detail-oriented... so don't even bother gleaning through the fine print ;)
Quick updates:
Cello lessons - I have to postpone to July... don't ask me why. It's sad :( But at least it's not too far off... just one month. Sigh. I finally have something to look forward to in the middle of the year :)
I have been obsessively looking at Serendipity's picture in Stringworks' gorgeous color catalogue. Sigh. I can't wait till you are mine...
Work - good, sometimes busy, sometimes idle. I'm secretly setting up mySQL on my laptop for a nasty surprise for my teammates next week ;) I personally think I'm slacking off a little. Either that or there's just so many things on my plate that I'm sub-consciously slacking off to slow things down. Anyhow, Brad, being the awesome boss that he is, decided to give us all a half-day off to extend this weekend's 3 day long holiday. Also, it was Vidya's last day at work today before going off to India for vacation for 2 long months! She, being the darling that she is, invited me to have lunch with her and her team at Pappadeaux. I LOVE THAT RESTO! Excellent seafood dishes with a Cajun flair. I had a mixed seafood grill with veggies, and half-shell oysters to start with. And Gail treated us out. It was super fun and that was super nice of her.
This weekend - I'm going to Bastrop with Annie who is apparently a) wanting to buy a car b) wanting to introduce some people to me. It oughta be fun :) I'd love to spend most of the weekend watching as much movies as I can at the cinema, but that will be mighty expensive - that's something I can't afford right now with rent coming and all that. Delayed gratification :D
Miscellany - Went to Blackbart's Books yesterday, which is apparently closing. Bought 6 books for clearance at a dollar apiece - mostly 1940's hard bounds (some are first edition print, I believe) ranging from The History of Greece, to The History of American Literature. Eat your heart out, bookies ;)
Current reading - I've never read the Chronicles of Narnia. I have just finished reading the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and am now unto the Professor's Nephew (or something like that). I LOVE ASLAN!!! Freakin book made me cry. Just goes to show how good writers can be at getting atcha... assuming they are good writers, of course. I want to reread the His Dark Materials Trilogy and the HP series, especially as Book 6 is coming out, of course. I'm also reading an imponderables book - "What are hyenas laughing at, anyway?" Hilarious book, that one... interesting, too!
I really want to study English. And I can't wait! Really, English is the most fascinating language - with all its inconsistencies and nuances... and the literature!!! Oh, the literature. Although I am sure that there are other great literatures and languages in the world, I believe English is my cup of tea. No pun intended :)
Hopefully, I'll get to upload my entry on my dad's visit very soon. Till then, ciao.
