Well, I promised an update and now I suppose that I'll now have to honour it.
The trouble with promises is that you pretty much have to keep them unless, that is, you want to be known as unreliable. For me, that is just not an acceptable situation. So, my reading public, here I am posting... I hope that it doesn't disappoint.
As you've already read, I got tickets to see Beck in August. It's really very exciting and I'm still a little in shock that he's actually even travelling here in the first place. It's such a small city and the theatre where he's doing the show is pretty tiny as well. (It's really ironic that the city rebuilt the local arena a few years ago and it seems all of the really great performers are avoiding it like the plague. No doubt it's the horrible acoustics...) Nevertheless, I am not complaining. I'm especially thankful that The Zone @ 91/3 fm had a presale event that was relatively painless...
That excitement aside, I went to see the Sex and the City movie on Friday night. In my opinion, it didn't disappoint and, in fact, I really enjoyed the film and it was really great just to go with a group of girlfriends and watch it. The one negative thing was that an integral part of the group was missing and (I just wanted to say that we missed you Z!) so it was a little sad.
I won't give anything away but I must say that it's ironic how I try to convince myself that I am a strong, independent girl yet I totally buy into the whole romance thing. In that way, I feel as if I am a fraud because I pretend that I don't need the fun and romance that those princesses in life desire yet, there I was, tissue in hand, hoping that my life would be just that. All this after a lifetime of convincing myself that these things don't exist and to become more realistic in my views.
Where am I now? Pleasantly amused at the contradiction that is Lola.
Speaking of films, I also went to see the new Indiana Jones flick yesterday. Incredible (and I mean this in the sense of unbelievability) mindless entertainment however, I enjoyed the "sex" film better. Funny but the day seemed to be filled with theme of skulls because the film was full of them and there were many depicted at the activity that followed (see *)
Well, my friends, not much else is that new these days. The new job is going well. The social life is pretty good even though Z has gone home for a couple of months. The creativity is not at the level that I'd like it to be at but I did attend an art show(*) last night. (Thank you for the invite Ilona... I hope that it went well for you!)
The great thing about art shows is that they provide perspective. I came away with many of my more creative ideas at the surface. I really should come up with a list of things to endeavour on and then I won't be so disorganized about it all. Maybe then I will actually get something done. The good thing is that I don't feel blocked at all. I'll keep you posted on the progress.
Well, it's time for this "contradiction" to finish up on this post.
Take care all. I'm not sure when I'll have time to write again but I urge you to keep checking in. You never know when I'll next be inspired... Ciao!!!
