Rain rain go away come again another day
Jan. 11th, 2007 12:07 amI don't know why I do this to myself. I know what I need to do for the LARP character editing, I knew roughly how much time it would take, I knew when I needed to get it done by. Yet I still waited until the day before the meeting to go through and edit things. It's mostly done now and I'll stop for the night I think. I just have to write the background for Pruss and Vane and then I'm done. I'll do that at lunchtime tomorrow, I think.
It's just incredibly stupid. I hope that I create better habits when I start the Legal Executive course in February. The enrolment pack arrived today and once more I am glad that my parents saw fit to give me multiple copies of my birth certificate signed by a JP when I left home. I just pulled another one out of the plastic sleeve and attached it to the document. A much harder thing is my ID photo. I think I still have one left from five years ago, however, I certainly do not look the same anymore. And I don't really want to have to trek out to Porirua just to get my photo taken!
I am currently rereading Curse of Chalion interspersed with other books. It doesn't quite grab me in the same way as it used to (I actually have to be in the right mood to read it now and I only read it three or four times a year) but is still really enjoyable. I can just sink into it and follow what happesns and it stays good even on the somethingoranother reread. I'm not sure how many times I've read it. I stopped counting around 12 or so. It must be 20+ now.
What I really need to read, of course, is a non-fiction book for my santa resolution. It's nearly two weeks into the year and I haven't started one. I think I'll go and pick something easy now and stick that into my bag. Then I won't have a choice!
Have been listening to an old Amy Grant tape (The Collection) a lot lately. I should probably find a CD of it so I don't wear the tape out. This is the tape, that along with a couple of sing-along tapes (GT & the Halo Express etc and two sing-along tapes of Bible verses) that kept my siblings and me occupied during long car journeys (anything over half an hour). I still associate this one with going to Anaura Bay in the summer, with my head leaning against the window, half dozing and half watching the scenery go by, the wind brushing through the top of my hair and warmth.
The weather is ridiculous. I am really really really looking forward to going up to Tauranga after Kapcon, not only because I have two weeks off work, but also because Tauranga has to be having better weather than we are here and I am so tired of grey skies. Coldest December on record for 70 years, I bet this is going to be the wettest January! And I'd be glad if the weather decided to prove me wrong!
