c'est dommage
Well, I am sitting in Net Zone once again, because Pho 32 had a line, and je deteste lines. I was just thinking how great this fall has turned out to be, in some respects, despite my low expectations- I thought I would not celebrate any holidays starting way back from Halloween, through Valentine's Day (so perhaps it is too early to say) but so far I have celebrated them all-- I went to a Halloween party with Janica and Ari at ...Wally's house, and we carved a pumpkin using a power drill and ate yummy tabasco chicken; for Thanksgiving I saw my cousin and uncle and 2 aunts, in New York, what's that place called, in South Brooklyn... I forget. Anyway we went there, and we also saw the Macy's parade, in the rain. Oh and my birthday turned out okay too, because it existed, rather than not existing at all. So all that was left was Christmas, New Year's, Chinese New Year's, and Valentine's Day. Which is actually a lot, now that I am laying it out. But seeing as I really thought I would just do nothing, ever, I think that regardless I should be happy with what I got, even if none of these other holidays turn out, which I do not necessarily forsee them doing so. We'll throw my sister's 30th bday in there too. I would be unhappy if we didn't do anything, which I think we will not. I would be unhappy vicariously, like I would be unhappy for her because I would want her to have some commemoration.
But anyway one part of Christmas and this time of year is seeing a Christmas movie. And I was all set to see one, tonight, in fact it was even called "The Holiday," and instead I forgot my cell phone and since nothing can happen now, I am thus am sitting in Net Zone moping. I suppose this is a lesson in planning ahead... or not leaving your cell phone by the sink... or not thinking, hey things are going okay, because then they start to go wrong. Not that it's that bad to hang out here, I haven't been in awhile and forgot how much I usually like it here. Not that things were going so okay. In fact only the holidays were, a lot of the other stuff was still stalling. But I was thinking, things were sort of better with respect to the holidays than I had expected, and getting some gladness from that. Oh and Kaplan's holiday party is going on right now, and I am not there... the very idea of my going would have been completely out of the blue. But that's another story. (How many cliches can I use consecutively?) That's another reason I was really looking forward to being somewhere else, doing something equally fun, or at least comparably so.
