My thrilling life

lesbiassparrowThrilling up dates on my life.
Good things:
1. I bought X3 so I can watch the yummy goodness of Hugh Jackman tonight. Shut up: Wolverine is quality entertainment and my admiration of his complex character is not at all superficial.
2. Hockey has begun! Hurrah! And I am in a hockey pool and even got some of my picks.
3. I have tickets to see Los Angeles vs. Minnesota in about a week. Game on!
4. I have an exciting Halloween costume which is a bit big but is excellent. I am so ahead of the game!
5. First opera of LA Opera season I've seen, Don Carlos, was mainly very excellent. The lead singers didn't have much charisma but the men playing King Philip and the chief inquisitor were marvellous. Plus there was an enormous chorus which always cheers me immensely. ETA: BTW, this is certainly the most homoerotic opera I've ever seen. There are many scenes which shriek of male love. Plus there is incest of a sort, so it's got it all.
6. Yearly trip to Vegas was fun even if it meant sleepwalking through the rest of the week. And there was hockey (Frozen Fury) as well as gambling. I do love that Star Wars slot machine.
The bad:
1. So much work. I am really wondering if I can do it all - normally I'd say it would be possible if I just put my mind to it, but at the moment I am very over subscribed and beginning to think this might be a repeat of last autumn which involved very little sleep.
2. Today I was walking back with my purchase of X3 trying to dial on my cell phone and I tripped on a kerb and crashed in a very inelegant way and then had to do that leaping up and pretending you are not hurt thing you do when people are watching. And then when I got home my knees were all scraped and really hurt quite a lot. The most depressing thing is that quite clearly I have not mastered the difficult act of walking and using a technical device.
3. My ipod battery has conked out and I really don't want to get a new one. Maybe for Christmas but it does seem a bit rubbish that after about a year and a half the life of one of these things has fled never to be seen again.
4. I am watching Alien vs. Predator and I have come to the horrifying realization I must have no taste, because I don't find it too terrible. Admittedly it is very SciFi movie of the week, but it is not without its entertaining moments.

Date: 2006-10-08 02:08 pm (UTC)I really miss mine because I do most of my work in libraries, shared office space, and a very small apartment that I share with a tv watcher. So it helps me to create my own privacy. I've been promised one for Christmas, but I'm looking into Creative or Rio as possible alternatives; just need to find out if that means reuploading all those thousands upon thousands of songs.
