Went shopping with Rich yesterday. Bought a pair of jeans and felt a bit guilty about it. I want to go shopping guilt free, and that's not going to happen until after my car loan is paid off. Speaking of which, I rang up this morning and asked how much that was and it is only $1660. As there's insurance on it and I'm paying it off early, if I payed it off today it'd be $1240. As much fun as it would be to clean out my savings (ha ha) account and pay it off, I can't. Although there should currently be $2500 in there, I have bills to pay.
Watchd Shadow of the Vampire last night. I wish I hadn't but Rich and James seem to think that Sunday night is a good time for such things. It was a quirky film, but what else would you expect of Williem Defoe and John Malkovich.
I've finally heard some news of Simon. Not from Simon himself though. Not a peep have I heard from the horses mouth. Belinda popped around for a coupla minutes to pick up some clothing she'd left. Anyway, he's apparently miserable, really emotional, finding the work difficult and suffering greatly from homesickness - after four days. My immediate thought was sympathy, but then I thought about why I was sympathetic and then I forgot about it and did other things. When Simon and Belinda leave next year, I think that's probably going to be the way of things. I'll just let them go live their own lives and make no effort to contact them. My need to prove total independance and unreliance on others coming to the fore.
