Oh Happy Day
I went to see the cats without Alyssa yesterday, but afterward she was able to come for a sleep-over. She brought her copy of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, which I had been meaning to see eventually. It was better then I was expecting; the heavy CG didn't bury the actors as much as I assumed it would, and it looked better in motion then the still images I'd seen. Ok, fine, I just like to see Johnny Depp in fancy hats! It makes him so happy...
When we got up today, we met Sarah for brunch, at Percy's, which is a good restaurant because it has good coffee, is decorated entirely in plaid, and is willing to serve me mushrooms and smoked fish for breakfast. Afterward, we went back to Sarah's house and I met her hedgepig, Sylphiel. I didn't know hedgies made noise, but it turns out they do; they huff when they get angry! Awwwww.....
I have not made the most of the last year, here on Cap Code, I know that, but I am trying to make up for it a little bit now that I feel up to it. My decisions to leave my job last Summer to find one in NYC ended up being so disastrous that now I'm pleased simply by the prospect of going back to the same position I declined. Well, no, that's not really true; I am all registered for grad school now too, so I can at least tell myself that there has been some positive change. (I keep trying to figure out if there has been some kind of lesson here....but other then “stay put, don't take chances” which is a lesson I'm trying very hard not to learn, I've got zip.) I should be back on Long Island around mid August, and then my weekends will be all dedicated to classes starting in September.
