now i am basically staring out of my window, this is a totally legit pastime.
Well, so much for updating daily! Whatever, I had a pretty good run! I was in kind of a mental & physical funk the past couple days anyway; I had a borderline-cold (this is a real thing) and it was just cold and rainy and generally depressing.
I had my first shift at Bluebird, which was actually super-fun while being totally mindless. It mostly consisted of opening doors for people and, you know, seating them. For obscenely good tips, since they're pooled and it's a classy restaurant-slash-martini bar for rich people. Also their clientele seems to consist almost entirely of attractive men? I can totally work this until I've saved up enough to go on a European wander!
(Of course, yesterday a TV production company I applied at called me to come in for an interview on Monday, so I'm going to do that and then I'll have some Life Choices to make, provided the interview goes well.)
Weird observation: last night I think I really noticed the movement of the moon for the first time. My bedroom and kitchen windows give this perfect perfect view of all sky-related phenomena -- they face south, and I somehow get the sunrise, the sunset, and the moon, along with planes taking off from/landing at Heathrow, and it is amazing -- and last night I couldn't help notice how crazy-bright the moon was. I went about my business, watched the new Community and Parks & Rec (GOD I LOVE THAT SHOW TIMES ONE BILLION. "That's what makes the sauce so awesome!") and then when I went back to the kitchen the moon had moved entirely across the window. Obviously it does this daily, but I'd never actually seen like that before.
Anyway I was suspicious about how bright it was, and it turns out that tonight is a supermoon!! The first since 1992! I have actually changed movie plans so that I will be home to see the sunset and then the full moon. ...Now that I've written it, I realize I sound like a crazy person, and I don't really have a defense beyond "space is really cool ok?!"
TODAY was so unbelievably warm & gorgeous that I set out for a walk and ended up walking all the way to Soho? It happens! I stopped for lunch and then went back to Green Park and sat on the lawn reading Harry Potter in the sun for a bit. It was so fantastic and I cannot wait until it's really summer and it doesn't start getting chilly again at 4 PM. I honestly think when I grow up I need to move to the south of Spain or somewhere it never goes below 15 degrees ever. Even today when I had to put my coat back on I got all disgruntled and annoyed at life and humans. And then I took the bus back home and HP kept almost making me cry; when will I learn not to read the endings of those books in public? Never. Never is the answer.
In other news, though: HOLY CRAP IT IS 6 PM AND STILL BROAD DAYLIGHT. I swear to god in December it would start getting dark at 3:45, which, WHAT. And next week we put the clocks forward and it will be broad daylight at 7 PM. I cannot even comprehend this. My quality of life will be THE BEST EVER, you guys!
