God Damn it is Cold!
Jun. 21st, 2004 10:31 amSo winter has finally arrived in Brisbane. The wind howled all weekend and it was too cold and blustery out to really do much, which was a pity because I had plenty to do!
Alex being away was actually nice for a change. I enjoyed having some time to myself, which I have been missing since he moved back up here full time. After Friday's argument and resulting discussion I've been doing a lot of thinking. I need something more in my life. Alex complains that I'm up and down like a yoyo over my job, and I guess I am. The problem is that it's the only area in my life right now where I have reasonable social interaction and can derive a sense of acheivement/fullfilment. I go to work every day and the evenings are spent with Alex now. Weekends we usually catch up with the same small group of friends for a meal, but there's little else to constructively "do". So now that I should at least have access to a car of an evening I'm considering taking some kind of class - probably drawing or something else creative, so i can do stuff at home too. I draw already, but my technique is lacking and I think I'd enjoy a class - be a nice opportunity to meet some new people too.
As is normal for my age, a lot of my friends have moved away. you finish uni and get a job somewhere, or you realise you need a change and just go. So my social circle has been steadily shrinking. My workmates haven't turned out to be my kind of people, so no new friends there. Perhaps a class is the way to go.
In the mean time, Alex and I are doing better. Once we both calmed down enough to talk rationally we sorted a lot out. Now we just need to put our plans into action. After 4.5 years you don't give up without one hell of a fight!
Last night Brett and I hired out "lost in Translation", which all 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed. Some of the cinematography was magnificent and highly original. And the plot was good too! This got me thinking of a conversation with Damon (Urbanhog) about movies to recommend. This one definitely makes the list. But what do you recommend?
