The Party's Over

Well that vacation is done and gone and dead and buried and any other means I can think of to convey the disappointment I feel at it being over.

It wasn't a bad time though. As always with these things I find myself wishing I could have done more. My last few days were quiet, of course, but I spend the last full night in style getting absolutely annihilated on martinis at Hey Lucy! with my friend Crystal. As we sipped and glanced owlishly about us we agreed that the trailers for the violent teen movie Never Back Down look like fun so we are going to see it when it opens on 14 March.

I returned to work on Thursday night for Friday morning, for one night only, just to see how things were going there and because I didn't have enough vacation hours for a full two weeks, and it felt like not really being there at all. My fellow supervisors were all happy to see me though and said hello and welcomed me back, that felt good. And last night I had dinner with a friend from work, Brian, his wife, and their friends at a Korean restaurant around Bloor and Christie. Once we were done there I met my friend Heather at The Spotted Dick and we had us some drinks as well as the latest snowstorm that everyone is moaning about started bearing down on the city.

Yeah more snow. Just what we have always wanted. Now I'm not going to add my voice to all the bitching because I don't drive anymore, and sure the sidewalks get a bit clogged but I have good boots. This is Canada, and it snows here in the winter. There's no way to control it or stop it. If people want to sit around and bitch about the snow, they should move.

So this is Saturday morning. Once I have had my cuppa tea I am going out in said snow for my shopping expedition. I need a few things for dinner tonight with my friend Darlene, who is coming to visit from Newmarket. We'll do a movie and such fun flummery this afternoon, and I also need to pick up a new book to read. I want to get some of the new Star Wars titles but I am a fan of hardcovers so I will have to grab what I can at World's Biggest Bookstore today. I really need to read more. I used to just suck down books when I worked for Penguin Books, but now that just doesn't happen and I'm feeling like I'm turning into something stupid. Reviews of what I read will find their way onto here, unless they are Doctor Who titles, which go on the other blog.

So I have my tea, I will sip and then go out soon. A full review of today will be posted tomorrow.

That is all.
