Random Thoughts

For the last 2 days or so, I've been feeling strangely emotionally fragile considering my life is pretty much on track. I guess it is probably stress and fatigue catching up with me. Still, everything is going fine, but for some reason, I keep beating up on myself and feeling like I am unloveable. I keep feeling I'm not productive enough, not pretty enough, not nice enough. Nothing bad happened either, except people keep piling on work and telling me I need to get it all done now. I wish we grew out of feeling inadequate.

Family Love Brain Diva

An Arrested Development reference is always appropriate! I'm going home for 10 days, and I can't wait. I'm happy that I get to spend time with family and friends, and I think the feeling is mutual. However, I just realized that I will be stranded as far as the Internet go. I will have to rely on my parents' crappy dial-up connection. My brother moved out and took with him his fancy computer and high-speed connection. It hasn't happened to me in about 4 years to have to rely on such a stupid connection. It makes me think of one of my techie friends who in 1998, had one of the first high-speed connection in Montreal. At the time, I couldn't understand his disdain for dial-up and he told me he couldn't use one anymore because it was too infuriating. Once you've experienced high speed, it is hard to go back. I guess, it will keep me off the computer for a few days! LOL

It is always weird to go back to suburbia as well. I can't walk anywhere. There is no coffee place around the corner. I have to drive at least 10-15 minutes to get anywhere. Wow, I've become such a city girl.

I Have A Big Head

I have normally-proportioned feet. Shopping for shoes is a pleasure. I wear size 7 1/2 or 8. There are shoes aplenty. Hurrah.

My head, however, is another affair completely. I have a big head. Too many hats make my head look like a giant pumpkin when they fit at all. I had found the perfect winter hat two winters ago at Roots. Somehow, I lost it. It's actually a mystery how it came to disappear. I took it out of its storage place back in October when I put away my summer clothes and took out all my winter gear. I put it in the entrance closet, and the second time of the winter I was to wear my coat, I decided I needed my hat. Well, it was nowhere to be found. No idea where it went, which is very sad.

Anyway, this meant I had to get a new hat. Oh dear. I tried on a lot of hats and tuques, which all made me look like an idiot. I finally found a black hat today that is cute, comfortable, and minimizes the ridiculousness of my head. So yay! Let's just say I am glad I don't live in Victorian times when proper ladies wore hats.

Bloggie Blog Blog

Blogs are a great invention because you get to read all kinds of interesting info you wouldn't find out otherwise. I stumbled upon a link to Ken Levine's blog, who was a writer on Cheers and Frasier. He gives insight on those shows, and on other writing matters. Fascinating. Well worth the read.

How Funny Is This Sleepy Cat?

A Film About Football That Will Probably Be My Favourite Ever...

It looks like George Clooney, my movie boyfriend, is about to do a movie with my TV boyfriend, John Krasinski. I think my head may explode from the prettiness and the love. Hee. If they only added Stephen Colbert, I would certainly lie in a puddle somewhere. ;)
