Suddenly, the "holiday season" is upon us. No sooner have all the pumpkins been smashed in the streets, then out come the Christmas decorations and commercials on television. It's really sick. I mean, seriously: without the red and green decor and the constantly jingling bells, Walmart is still Walmart, okay? The cheap plastic crap is still cheap plastic crap, no matter how nicely you adorn the box and place it under the overpriced tree. I'd like to postpone all of the consumerism or least until after Thanksgiving.
Oh, and the weather has arrived. The whole week has been rainy, dreary and somewhat windy, but today was downright blustery at times. I swear, without that spa, I'd be toast trying to do my job. By the end of the day both yesterday and today, my clothes were soaked through and I was pretty chilly and stiff. I decided this evening that it's time to step up the garlic consumption and break the seal on the new bottle of multivitamins. I know, I know, things just don't get any more interesting than this. It comes with age, I think: you become progressively more aware of your bodily functions and malfunctions. The real bummer of the day was that all of the work I did last evening on the yard is quite gone, since the wind has recovered the lawn with leaves.
This weekend, the brother's band is playing two shows here in town-- looking forward to that. But after the past couple of weeks of not getting a whole lot done, I realized tonight in class that it's time to intensify my focus on the film project. I've got a lot of logging and transcribing to do. Then we'll have another meeting and do some paper editing before I'll pump out my final project for class. Of course, it'll be only a tenth of its projected final length (5 minutes versus 50), but it's still going to be a push. I guess it's good the weather has finally turned; it'll keep me indoors, and hopefully in the studio editing and polishing.
