Hmmm. I just noticed that I've spent a lot of time posting about fashion over the last week or so. Not entirely in my nature, I know, yet it's better than not posting at all. I hope that you can forgive me.
Actually, this whole fashion thing reminds me that I reconnected with this amazing young man that I met at work. He was one of those people with an amazing level of energy and it was always quite infectious. In fact, Victoria hasn't really been the same since he left here for Toronto all so long ago. And, luckily for me, he's now back on the West Coast!
We got a chance to hang out while I was in Vancouver and we talk incessantly and wandered about the city just catching up. One of our topics was fashion and I think that is what got me so reinterested in the topic again. I lost touch with it ages ago but it was great to get involved in it again. So, I'd just like to say thank you to Monsieur Tai. I hope that we will get together soon.
I was wondering if anyone else out there has noticed a new phenomenon this Christmas. Have you, like me, seen people's yards all covered with what looks like piles of nylon fabric strewn all over? At first, I thought it was tents or people cleaning up their garages during the day. Then, the light bulb inside my head went on. It was the deflated remains of those air-filled decorations that are shaped like snow globes and inflatable santas. I can't help thinking what a mess this makes in people's yards. It makes me want to move in next to them and park old rusting cares and metal just to see how they react. I would just call them decorations (or even sculptures).
What I wonder most of all is how much electricity these things use? I'd be interested in researching how much extra cost is added to a person's electric bill during this season. It's just another example of how we consume so much during this so-called holiday season and reaffirms my convictions in avoiding the gift-giving and over-decorating at this time of year. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Instead, I make more of an effort to see people that I care about and share some time together.
The next week or so will be so busy for me that way so I cannot guarantee that I'll be doing much posting during that time. I hope that you all have a great holiday season.
I'm almost finished my socializing for the day. I'll be spending the rest of today recuperating from my gingerbread house-making injury to my back (that'll teach me from bending over the oven too many times) and catching up on "Ugly Betty". In a way I'm glad for the writer's strike because I missed a whole lot of the season when I took my Sound Recording class.
Take care and have a great holiday. I cannot say that I will have much time to post and in case I don't, best wishes for 2008!
