• The summer’s just passed me by. Nothing new with that. Time has a funny
  way of galloping when you want it to sit still. Or sitting thunderously
  still when you wish that you could wake up two years from now.
  
  
  
  I just wish
  it was the beginning of Summer. Or Christmas, if that’s easier for the
  powers-that-be to accomplish. Because in December I’ll be headed home.
  
  
  
  <Stand up, do a little jig, couple of cartwheels, jump a few times amidst shouts of whoooopeeeeeeeee>
  
  
  
  Yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayay!!!
  
  <the jumping around didn’t quite do it>
  
  
  
  If you haven’t figured out by
  now, I’m happy.  I’ll hopefully be shooting a documentary
  when I’m there and am really looking forward to working with my friends
  again.
  
  
  
  As for what’s been
  happening <- that for the benefit of my friend’s who think I’ve
  kicked the bucket and not bothered to inform them.
  
  

  
  5:00 am  Wake up struggling from bad dream in which I miss the
  8:55 Blue Line. This basically means that I’ll reach school at 9.45
  instead of 9.25 which is when I should.
  
  
  
  5:05 – Go back to sleep
  
  
  5:35 – Wake up frantic because cat chose to jump on me that moment and knocked the wind out of my lungs
  
  
  
  5:37 – Throw things at cat
  
  
  5:40 – Throw cat out of room
  
  
  5:45 – Try to go back to sleep
  
  
  6:00 – Wake up and let piteously wailing cat back in room.
  
  
  6:05 – Snuggle up with cat and sleep blissfully
  
  
  7:30 – Wake up frantic because NPR started shouting at the top of its
  lungs. In the process of suddenly sitting up in bed, manage to send cat
  flying across room. he’s not happy. Radio is still yelling. OK dammit.
  I’m up.
  
  
  
  7:30 to 9:30 (if i’m lucky)  – Make tea, brush teeth, fill cat’s
  bowl, have tea, talk to cat, check email, rub cat’s ears, finish tea,
  shower etc, tell cat you love him and you won’t vanish from the
  bathroom, get dressed, make sure cats not under the bed, get on EL,
  reach school. oops, i forgot breakfast. darn.
  
  
  
  9.30 to 5.30 – I don’t even want to talk about work at school. (And NO that does not mean I don’t do anything!)
  
  
  
  6:15 – Reach home. Replay of 7.30 to 9.30 except not going anywhere.
  
  (And this time remember to eat something!)
  
  
  
  7:00 – Eat while checking email. chat with whoever’s unlucky enough to be online then.
  
  
  7:30 – Pretend to work on script. do this for the next five hours.
  
  (alternatively, pretend to edit film, do this for next 5 hours.)
  
  
  
  12:30 – Hungry again. no energy to cook or find food. go to sleep. hopefully stomach will forget it’s empty.
  
  
  
  1:30 – Wake up frantic cause cat jumps on stomach (they have a pact there methinks) stomach doesn’t quite like it.
  
  
  1:35 – Walk to kitchen. eat cereal.
  
  
  1:40 – Too dead to wake up even if cat decides to swing dance on tummy.
  
  
  
  Ah. To sleep.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  I’m
  off to the Republican Convention today. Just pray that I don’t get
  arrested. Or teargassed. I have very sensitive eyes. And I lost my
  sunglasses!
  
  
  Baad mein milenge!
  

  hee hee!
