I can't believe it's the end of January already. At this rate, I'll be done my contracts and in Chicago before I know what hit me. I need to start making some plans for this year. Maybe contribute to an RSP or something adult-like.
"Alone in the wilderness" is on right now. In contrast to the last time I watched it, I realise that I'm just not wired to be alone completely. Extreme isolation is not appealing and when I don't talk to people for a few days I start to lose it.
With my stupid work hours, I haven't talked to many people lately. It was really getting me down this week, yet in true Scorpio fashion I did nothing to remedy it. I'm always happier when I talk to/see friends, so I can't really figure out why I'm so lazy to make the effort. Zut.
Last night I met up with my friend for a drink at the Gun & Tackle and then a movie at Vancity. We saw one of the most depressing films I've seen for a while, "Ballast." All the rage at Sundance, I'm not sure it was the best film to see this week, but it was nice to hang out with my friend. We talked about other movies of interest and I mentioned one about an overweight black girl who gets pregnant and then physically abused by her mother; my friend said, "You had me at overweight black girl!" That made me howl. My other friend called before the film to see if I wanted to meet up after, so headed to my friend's friend's house to drink beer and hang out. Pretty fun.
Looks like there's lots of stuff going on in the next few weeks. The singalong on Monday (hopefully!), TP's art opening on Thursday, the 12-course Chinese banquet on Friday with my Langara co-workers, Jason & Debbie's Antarctica party on Saturday... Guess I should start thinking about going to rock shows again at some point. Being busy is infinitely better than watching TV on a Saturday night.
