A Different To-Do List
Catching up with a friend from a fair way back tonight re-affirmed the fact that I can't go back to my 'old' life anymore. And by saying old life, I mean my life these coupla years here in Melbourne. It's like looking at some old photos and wondering how I could wear a certain hairstyle or clothes or expression. I am definitely over the big nights out and the hard boozing and chain smoking and all that jazz. I know I must have mentioned this before but this time, I can't be any surer. I am glad, like seriously glad, that I have been good these past few months and that I am holding up. The boredom has not set in yet, but I know it's inevitable. I am not sure if I can handle it, but I am certainly willing to give it a shot.
All the signs seem to be pointing to the fact that it is indeed the right decision to move out from my current place. This morning I was woken up by the bright sunlight shooting through the weak blinds and following that, I found my bottle of mouthwash covered with ants. This evening when I was walking home, I was 'chatted up' by a hobo. He was so-called nice and all but just too smelly and bulgar for my liking (although the word 'like' is hardly one tobe used when it comes to hobos). And just now, when I was about to brush my teeth, I found a huge centipede on my toothpaste tube. I hate to lump things together but yes, I am so ready to move on.
Caught a Woody Allen double at The Astor earlier this week. It was The Purple Rose of Cairo with Zelig. I have always had a thing for the former, and have watched it countless times even before I knew English. This is the first time I watched it again since getting a grasp of the language. In any case, I am just as captivated by it as the first time. Although the ending was like a punch in the stomach, I s'pose that that makes it more real. As for Zelig, all I can say is that it is certainly a Woody Allen masterpiece and that everyone should have a go at it. It was a good way to round up the session after the sombre feeling that the audience was left with after Purple Rose.
Work has been hectic and certainly stressful but has never been better. Never thought I would actually say this but it's true. Talking to people makes me realised that I have a pretty good job, and that I should be appreciative (although I must admit I don't necessarily feel that way most of the time), but as I have said before, we just can't get too complacent and comfortable, can we?
