Stumbling Along

I was so bloody tired this morning. Understandably so b/c I only slept about 4 hours last night. I didn't want to go to sleep. I was working on my cover letter for that job.

I haven't gotten any studying yet for French. I did pick up a student book from work though and this evening after work, I'm going to the bookstore to buy any useful resources I could find along with a dictionary. I did the unspeakable a few weeks ago: I threw out my dictionary of 13 years. It was completely tattered and in a sad sad state so I threw it away. It had to be done. And now I'm dictionaryless.

Holy Gee, I'm going through my money really fast. I'm spending more than I'm making it seems. That's not good. Even worse is I was speculating last night whether I should buy that Nokia camera for $900 and go for a photography class. Hmm. I also have to buy a shelf for my shoes. Now that I can't put off any longer. I have absolutely no room for them anymore and I'm sick and tired of stumbling over them every time.

Before I used to get irritated when I drive among Chinese drivers, now I'm downright terrified. I was driving to work this morning behind a Chinese driver and beside a 53 foot truck. First of all, he didn't drive at a constant speed; first it was 40 then 65, then back to 40 again. Suddenly, he starts slowling down at one point and drving out of his own lane and drifting into the truck's lane (they were literally inches away from each other). I thought there was going to be a collision but the poor truck driver slowed down for that stupid ass. Thankfully, the ass made a turn somewhere. Why are they so bad at driving?? It's like an epidemic with them. It's just not one or two of them, it's every other Chinese who's a crappy driver.

Whenever there are long intervals b/w my friends and I of not talking, I'm reminded of this dreadful void that I have. It's like it has a presence of its own sometimes especially in the morning. Young kids sometimes wish they had a sister or brother when they feel alone (kids have a way of knowing what they want) but I can't point out exactly what's missing. I want to immerse myself in something new quickly so that I can forget about it.

J emailed me today and asked if I wanted to do something with him for the long weekend. Maybe I will. I was thinking of cruising downtown and discovering bookstores and antique shops. I also wanted to go to a jazz club or even a comedy club.
