I had intended to go to the school today for English department coffee time, but I woke up quite late and in the end decided not to. To be honest I'm in no mood to be social today; I'm rather grumpy, and I know what when I am in such a mood it is best to avoid being around people.
I did get some personal things done, though; finished editing a fic, at least. One down, four to go! Argh, backlog, how I hate it. Maybe I'll try working on another tomorrow. Don't know. Oh, and I also updated the Baltic index. Sigh. That's always... blah. But if I keep on top of it, it shouldn't end up as such a chore. Anyway, aside from that, I finally got around to reading the two most certain instalments of a long fic that has been sitting on my 'to-read' list for ages. Aaa. I feel strange leaving it go so long, but really, I did want to wait for the right moment, so I could savour it.
I have half a mind to go out shopping tomorrow to see what the places have out for their Halloween stuff, but it's a bit early yet, I think. Then again, never know. It seems places start putting out their stuff earlier and earlier. Not that I complain, because I love Halloween stuff, especially decorations with spiders and skeletons and things... I'm a total dork - I tend to keep that sort of thing up year-round. But when I had to move away from Wolfville, I wasn't able to take most of my decorations with me. Right now I just have some spiders and leaves on my mantle, saaa.
But when I think of it, what I really want is for places to start putting their boxes of Christmas cards out. I'm definitely sending out cards this year, as I usually do, and this year a lot of them will be going overseas so I want to get them out early, maybe mid-November I guess. So in order to do that, I need to get the cards early, because I am both busy and lazy and it takes me forever to do anything.
Now on a completely unrelated note, ahhhh, I love my cologne. A few weeks ago I bought some new stuff because there was a place downtown that sells Demeter cologne (my favourite). I've been using the "Leather" one a lot. It smells like... leather. That's the thing about Demeter - their stuff actually smells like what it says on the label. This one is a good every-day, because it isn't too heavy or too weird and it's a perfectly ordinary smell, nothing exotic. It's a very masculine scent too, which is another thing I like about it. So anyway, I'm pretty happy, though I must make a note to avoid that store in the future. They only sell the 1 oz. bottles, and it's pretty expensive (though not as much as some other brands).
It's starting to get dark and cold now. The sun is about half-set around 7 PM, and when I went running tonight it was chilly. Recently, it has been so cold in my house that I can't go around barefoot any more, and even if I wear socks sometimes it's still too chilly and I have to wear moccasins. Very annoying. Well, I don't mind it being cold indoors too much, but outside it's a problem. I'm probably going to have to change my running time soon. I get back from school in the early afternoon, so I guess I could do it then... but sigh, changing my schedule is going to be annoying. Ah, well. :|
