I was way off with this one

Yesterday a 'friend' who I haven't seen for a couple days... OK so I've been avoiding him for a couple days, messages that he's left something on my stoop. that's step. As I get in, measuredly excited - I suspect people who say they hate surprises, lie. I would like to say the same, and mean it. But I can't. Who, having shook the can totally upside down, would not be pleasantly surprised to find one had rolled way back on a lower shelf? Or who, expecting a B would not arch a well plucked eyebrow at a B+ on their C paper? I digress.

So I'm thinking, is it a Tee, maybe I'm gonna get my Levis... ooooh a book? That would be nice. I drive in, observe the parcel has a rectangular look, so maybe it's cereal. I smile to myself, he's such a dork. smile. because cereal Is just the sort of non committal childish pleasures this 'relationship' hinges on and, if I'm to admit, maybe Levis from him, I'm not ready for that level of commitment.

Bells go off at the first sighting of clear shiny gift paper. Fears are confirmed by the soft cushy bulk: he got me a teddy. And cards and chocolates. We're so over.

Don't think

That I'm just doing this for show. well. mainly I'm proving to myself here that I can periodically update something - which may be worst. Many think having quit my job I've amassed secret pockets of leisure time... again I have. I confess that the structured life of an 8 to 4, understanding time in its relevance to its wastage at the office, might not be a very bad thing. Now I can easily kill the same 8 hours, unknowingly. and worse, now it's 8 hours of my own time...

Racing!

5 minutes to month end and in 2 other tabs I'm uploading images to beat the record of all records for blog count. aiming for 9...

Of note, I'm outrageously hungry. Whenever I take a moment to think about it, it seems I'm hungry. But someone said time's passing faster than I think, glued to my laptop and all.

also of note, I collected 3 cheques today, and still can't make the rent. I need either a more rewarding hobby or a cheaper place

,,, was it November

oh man. i had this niftly lil blog done, and the internet went down. That was some 6 odd hours ago, golly if I could remember, but, Mozilla loads and it brings with it remnants...

Think it was a heavily veiled attack on November. Brought me Kevin last year and mightily supported my spiral into nothingness this year.

For the last 6 hours, guess all what's happened. Nothing

Every time I turn around it's another week. As such I've thought myself a valuable lesson this week - to not be afraid of doing nothing. Yes, very anti-what-we've-been-thought but I'm retired, the point is for more down time. If I'm always bustling or feeling guilty about not bustling... I have not opportunity to find... (oh this is good) my chi!

Yes and to prove (to myself) how serious I am, I skipped the Edward Maya concert, took the 300 ticket fund and I'm heading to Moksha Yoga center bright & early Monday morning, or Tuesday; Monday's such a wonderful sleep in day. (Honestly, skipping the concert was easy 'casue we had rooftop Rave the night before with Gareth Emery and. it was. so osssum. could tide over till underground rave on Dec 3rd.)

So that's that. more chi less fuss.

Monday Made

So many awesome things can happen on a Monday, if you'd just not rush to work and let it happen. Got a call from an old Chef associate who wants me. to, possibly, do the cover for his first book. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!
Commissioned to do a book cover. I feel Made. Like I can quit my day job. But this is my day job :)

And even if it doesn't come through (lack of funding maybe?) I would still have been 'commissioned to do a book cover'














Other cool stuff's happening (por ejemplo: got propositioned -sex for a Maroon 5 Platinum concert ticket. that's right, Pla-tinn-num.I would. but I'm not a fan. Didn't want to waste the propositioning, sure a concert will come around when I'd need it.) but, won't blog about it, to cheapen this moment, let's have a silent hooray for unemployment
