less than two weeks till my vacation :)
Sep. 25th, 2011 10:45 pmTo amend my previous post: A Dangerous Method will be a special presentation at the festival, after all. I'm not sure exactly what that means, other than a higher ticket price, LOL - but I shall see, I guess. I just ordered my ticket, btw. It's in two weeks... but better safe than sorry. That's definitely THE one festival event I don't want to miss.:) The Good Doctor is also a special presentation, as it turns out; but I am still hesitating about buying the ticket in advance, because I am supposed to get my period that weekend - and if I am not feeling well, then of course I will not go anywhere, and the ticket will be wasted.:/ On the other hand, if I do go without a ticket, it is rather likely that the film will be sold out. So I don't know. A regular ticket wouldn't be a big deal to waste, but special presentations are $20... *sigh*
Oh well. I guess I'll let fate decide.;) If I don't see it during the festival, I'll see it later. Same goes for a number of other films I'm interested in - I have something in mind for nearly every day of the festival, but I'll see how it goes and if I really feel like making that trip downtown every single day for over a week.:) I did schedule my vacation, though - so I am off from the 7th until the 18th, regardless. Which is longer than I've been off since... I can't really remember when, to be honest. *blinks*
Hopefully the weather won't be too bad; last year's October was gorgeous, but somehow I don't think this will happen again. It is already getting cold - I've been using my little electric space heater for the past few days. Mostly to warm up the bathroom before I take a shower - but still. By mid-October, it might be too cold/rainy/windy to spend much time outside... but we shall see, I guess. It's not like I can't occupy myself at home for a week and a half.:P As long as my internet works, that is. *knocks on wood* ;)
I am still downloading music like a maniac, btw - getting sidetracked at every turn and switching artists/genres/styles on a whim. The $25 I recently added to my Soundike.com account is almost gone. I need to slow down, probably, but it's just way too much fun.:) I've also been spending a lot recently on clothes, shoes, jewellery and such. Nothing too crazy, mostly cheap and practical stuff; but sometimes I wonder if I'm not overstepping my limits again. I seem to go back and forth between pathological stinginess and careless spending - if there is a golden middle between the two extremes, I haven't found it so far, and it is not likely that I ever will. It is as though my parents' genes are battling each other fiercely inside my brain, and there is no telling who will prevail at any given time... LOL.
By the way... I've been meaning to post some pictures of my new jewellery for quite a while, I just never got around to it somehow. So here goes. ( a bunch of discounted treasures under the cut )
