Construction, Destruction
Posted on December 7th, 2009 at 1:23am
Painting, building, cutting, nailing, sawing. I’ve spent almost all of my weekend in the garage working on party-related things.
I’ve come to realize that I’ve lost focus on too many other things in my life, while I’m working on all of this party nonsense. I forgot that it’s already Christmas time, which means I need to start shopping. So… that kinda sucks.
There’s still so much left to do.
I just finished watching Metropolis. When I put it on my Netflix, I knew it was a very old movie, but I did not know it was a silent film. I enjoyed it, but I think my understanding of it is only surface-level. Might be worth another watch or two later down the line.
I’ve been having some troubles with insurance companies lately. First, my car insurance company loves it when I pay may bills late so they’ve become very good at mailing me my bill the day before it’s due. And since they only accept checks, I need the actual paper bill to pay the damn thing.
Then I get a letter in the mail from my renters insurance telling me that it’s been a month since I’ve filed my claim and if I don’t send them any of the paper work and information they requested then my claim will become inactive. Which is very maddening, given that I’ve got a delivery confirmation notice saying they received all the paperwork I sent out last month. I’m sure this will be a fun one to try to clear up.
What else?
I’ve been extra broke this weekend, so I didn’t get my regular hang-outs with Jasmine or Sarah. Definitely a bummer. Lots of talk with Li-Ling and Company(tm) about our winter Disneyland trip, which is always a great thing. I’m asking Sarah to come with this year. I need a riding buddy, now that everyone else has partnered up.
I’m becoming increasingly excited for a new year to start. I don’t know why, really. As silly as it is, there is definitely a “start fresh” feeling when the calendar rolls over to January. I’ve already got my list of things I want (and need) to accomplish in 2010.
I think that about does it. Nothing terribly exciting going on right now.
And for the life of me, I can’t get this paint off my hands.
Goodnight Moon.
