today....
* i caught a cold
* gained immunity to hepatitis A for 22 years
* learned the average amerikan kid sees 40,000 TV ads/year

only one of those were planned

soul retrieval

• day 187: lost my writer's notebook, travel log and soul. also, my pen dried up.
  
• day 188: thrown in existential crisis. vowed to never write again. bought new book and pen. get email that "mine book's been found" [german accent, imagined].
  
• day 189: arrange to pick-up the book from <monica>'s mailbox.
  
• day 190: book is not there
  
• day 191: play it cool
  
• day 192: send email and check again. no book.
  
• day 193: check again, no book.
  
• day 194: check again, no book.
  
• day 195: give up book for dead.
  
• day 196: get explanatory email. i now have the book back.

i checked to make sure she didn't graphitti the book, or tear out pages. it seems fine. then held it close to my chest since there was an unfamiliarness when it rested in my pocket.

now, i can get over my cold.

music choice :: classical

i tell people i listen to "a mix of all musics", but my itunes "top 25" since NZ is:
44% classical
16% buble [semi-ashamedly]
4% reba
36% glad yanni barely missed the cut

my today

* there are 4 people sleeping in my livingroom tonight. i know none of them.
* jelly beans or underwear?
* i am a tuesday person.
* is this thing on?

i am so sick of work. this is as creative or interesting as i can be after 16 hours of work in a 24 hour period.

my best day ever

today was a series of amazing events:

1. i had a good interview at a movie theatre for a super-part-time job that would allow me to watch tons of free movies.

2. after worrying i'd be stuck in sydney with no hotel over new years, i finally found one that wasn't $1000/night.

3. i did coffee with an actress i met after her play this weekend. it was not a date, but i can't imagine her not liking me.... it's just her boyfriend i'm unsure of....

4. i pre-finished writing my second movie. it's readable from start to finish, but there's 8 minutes in the middle i skipped the first time through.... gotta finish them tomorrow.

3. my flatmate took his certification exam, which means he's done studying. we celebrated with a game of risk.

2. i got a new sworn enemy on facebook.

1. i'm going to bed early, which means i get to read even more harry potter before falling asleep!
