2010 is starting to wind down....2 months and it's a whole new ball game yet again....
Of course not really....Time is such a human invention...and aside from the fact that it happens to be Winter instead of Fall, January 1st means nothing at all....it's no different from Ocotober 15th or July 7th or whatever.
Well, maybe it is to some degree. Fall and Spring for some reason always feel more transitional to me. I mean, they're more of a journey to hottest or coldest than a destination unto themselves.
Anyway, speaking of transitions, there are many things in my life I'm trying to slowly change...habits that I want to alter...nothing major, just a little housecleaning here and there. Step one - Time to get a haircut! My first and only in 2010! So here's the before picture:
...I'll update later with the results. I'm sure they won't be that drastic. The idea of a haircut is always an idea of change for me...like it will make you a whole new person or something. Of course it never really does, but there's always hope, right?
I can't believe it's already October again. Seems like this year has just flown by.
Looking back, I've only ever made one post in October, and a rather innocuous one mainly just to say happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving. In a way I find that strange, but thinking a bit harder, I guess it isn't.
October is one of my favourite months, but it's also the one where I am most likely to be lost in self-absorption and probably fairly moody as well. I mean, it's the month where everything winds down for winter....the temperature gets colder and all the leaves change...the weather is very inconsistent...sometimes it's snow, sometimes it's almost summer-time. Like the song says, "the way I feel, so much depends on the weather..."
The main reason that I usually keep fairly silent about October is that it is the home of both of my major-relationship anniversaries. Of course neither of them count for anything now, but for some reason I remember them anyway. Maybe because it's also my parents anniversary month, so it just reminds me. Usually I either can't or won't remember the past at all. Sometimes though, my brain just gets into reminiscent mode and suddenly it's as if I no longer have control of the metaphorical clicker. Won't turn off and stuck on a lousy channel. Hmmpf.
Although in theory I am looking for a new relationship again, I'd almost hate to have that happen in October. There's too much baggage associated with the poor month already.
On the other hand, I get to eat a lot of turkey! Turkey is good. And, before we know it, it'll be a whole new year. Winter is coming.
I just had to post that I'm sad and ashamed to live in a world where a movie like Vampires Suck makes more money at box office than the touching and brilliant Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World
Seriously.
I always knew that there was something really, really wrong with humanity in the 21st century, but this blows even my cynical little mind.
Anyway, if you've still got enough brain cells left in your head to fry an egg without hurting yourself, go see Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World.
You won't be sorry. I saw it, twice, and then went and bought all 6 graphic novels and devoured them in 2 days straight. Gotta read them again in a week too. Amazing books. Amazing movie. So why are you still reading this????
I just like this pic...
So um.....Happy Simcoe Day!
That's a civic holiday that no one knows much about here in Toronto....thoughout the country everyone has the same holiday, but it's called different things. Apparently every city just decided to name it after some guy relevant to them alone. It's also not really a stat, but maybe it is....no one seems sure. Either way, I get holiday pay for it, although the trade off is that I pretty much am forced to work nights for the weekend. When you're used to waking up for work around 4:30 in the morning, suddenly working until 3am is not the healthiest. Could be the reason I'm feeling sick this morning.
Oh well, at least the money's good.
