Depressingly Dull (OTA)
There's only so much calm I can take. There's been nothing but the usual opera-related problems to interrupt my days lately. Lately? For months, rather.
Yes, life has been pretty good. A wonderful woman in my life, as much music as I like - but. That's a big But. I. Am. Bored. Paradise doesn't seem so temping if you've been stuck in a bubble of all-is-well for a while.
I'm miss being an agent. The secrets, the danger - yes, I even miss screwing with Rabb's mind. I hadn't expected to ever miss him of all people, but screwing with him had its entertainment value. Let's face it: My life has become dull. Pleasant, but dull. I guess the pleasant part still makes it better than Paramaribo would have been. Or maybe not. I'd still be an agent there, surely the occasional thing happens even in Paramaribo. On the other hand, Catherine wouldn't be with me. But I don't want to decide between my job and a woman. Not that I have a choice to make, being stuck here. I just wish something interesting would happen. Anything! I'll even take those dinosaurs back, if it just interrupts this mind-numbing Pleasantville experience for a while.
"Another one." My third scotch, but who's counting? Maybe I should have gotten a bottle at the store instead of sitting here at the bar. My hope that there'd be something interesting to observe here - well, it was just that. Hope.
