~In my life, it only rains on a few occasions - right after I washed my car, the moment I decide I want to go for a bike ride and when I absolutely need to have a sunny weather. Granted, the latter doesn’t happen too often but still!
Yesterday, I happened to wash the car and had a plan to ride my bike. It rained for about 20 hrs in a row, naturally. Not that I mind, in general. I love rain, and I love it that I sleep better when it rains. But it was a little bit annoying because - bike, duh? Been waiting for the bike season since October :P
~There is a new funny TV show called Bent about a carpenter and his client who fell for each other and, naturally, refused to acknowledge it. It’s short, 20 min sitcom, light and funny. I think I’ll be checking itout every now and then.
~I got some new books, including - YAY!!!!- the two that I’ve been looking for for quite a while already: “Fever, 1793” by Laurie Halse Anderson and “On the Jellicoe Road” by Melina Marchetta. So excited! I need the day to be at least 36 hrs long so that I could spend more time reading. Also, I need a separate room for a library, perhaps.
~Did some jeans shopping. I want to be ‘skin and bones’ skinny so, so much! It just sucks beyond imaginable how hard it is for me to find stupid jeans that would look good on me without making me look like a whale -____- I did find a pair of skinny jeans - yeah, haha, me and skinny - so it was a good thing because God help me, I am not doing anymore shopping anytime soon again.
~I did some good writing lately. Apparently, I should just keep on going with dark and torturous stuff, and there’ll be no writer’s block in it. Me and my twisted imagination…
~Currently reading “Winter Longing” by Tricia Mills about a girl whose bf dies in the airplane crash and she is learning to cope with it and start living all over again. It’s a bit YA in a selfish way - the way the girl keeps thinking that no one mourns enough and stuff, but all in all I quite enjoy is.
~And also I read “A thousand splendid suns” by Khaled Hosseini which is a complex and uneasy book to read and absorb. This book tells a story about several generations of Afgani women in XX century through the war times mainly. How they are treated, how they should subdue to their husbands, about what little freedom they had. Being quite a feminist myself - not in a die hard way but I do not think that women are lower than men in any way and has the same right for everything - it is not easy for me to contemplate the way the girls let themselves be treated like dirt. Yet, it’s a very interesting insight on how a nation tried to find happiness in little things. But it’s also very, very sad.
~Moving to a new office seems to be postponed for a few months, much to my relief. I absolutely dread the moment when we’d have to go there, so I am quite happy for now. Visited new premises with the boss last week. I think I still need some booze to even think about it, and that comes from a non-drinking person, which is somewhat scary. It’s quite horrible in any possible way - the building itself, the area, the location of the rooms and stuff.
~Which brings me to a rather uneasy topic of having to look for new job, perhaps. I know, I know, I’ve been taking and thinking about it for a few months already. I am a chicken like that. Just because I don’t like my current job doesn’t mean I am ready and willing to make changes in life *le sigh* I know it’s horrible, and it’s my life, and it’s just not right that I don’t enjoy it, but… well, it needs to be done and I know it. yet, it’s scary to think that I might exchange bad for the worse :(
I am not really good with decisions in that department so… I don’t know, I really don’t know.
