"I wish I could have known you —the real you..."

That's it, no more watching TV late at night.

I'm watching the season finale of The Pretender (second season), and it's totally breaking my heart. I'd forgotten about this. Poor Angelo.

:::weeps:::

Damn these people for writing such good television!

I have to go find out if Season 3 is available on DVD these days...

:::heart continues breaking:::

Well, now...

Looky what I found....

Too bad I don't have a credit card. :P

But at least I know it's out there... Exciting!

Tell me something I don't know.

Would you like the good news or the bad news first?

So I just called the nice lady at Collège Montmorency, and she said there's still room available in the dispatcher course that I mentioned in this post.

So now I have to scrape together $250 and register.

The question is, of course, which course do I want to take? There's one in February, which means fewer scheduling problems but less time to scrape together the money. Money is definitely a consideration since Capricornucopia is in three weeks (official announcement to come sometime today), and that costs money too. It would be on the 18th and 19th as well as the 25th and 26th of the month.

The same dates apply to March, which would mean more time to scrape together the money I need to register, but it also directly conflicts with the next gig date for Invisible and Random Colour. Granted, the class lasts from 8am to 4:30pm, and so in theory I would be in time for the gig, but it also means no morning practice that day, which is a Bad Thing(TM).

Taking the course in March also has the advantage of being closer to the time when the next set of courses would start, namely the ones in which I'm supposed to specialise. Less chance of forgetting everything I know before taking another course.

Gah.

I hate it when Big Important Life Stuff conflicts with other Important Life Stuff.

Work doldrums...

I suppose it's better than being crazy-busy, but right now I am both bored and hungry, and there are 20 minutes left before I can go to lunch.

Somehow, I think finding out that there were still spots available in that class has just whetted my appetite for something, anything, more interesting than this job.

:::shoves some paper around listlessly:::

Meh. I suppose I should organize some of the billing, or something.

I am a bad, bad girl...

So instead of working on today's instalment of Beyond the Pale, I found myself writing the first instalment of the new serial that's been bopping around inside my head since about mid-November (right before my computer died).

Yeah, I know.

So I suppose I'll be writing Beyond the Pale when I get home from my dancing class tonight. I have to admit that I'm in the part of the story I like the least. I'm anxious to get my characters moving, and unfortunately, with the current pace I've set they're not likely to be going anywhere for at least another ten instalments or so. Bleh. I hate long-term planning.

So, because I have the attention span of a magpie on crack, I have turned to a bright and shiny new story that will hopefully fulfill my need to move really really fast.

Gah. Okay, the CAM just came by with a rush job (why can she never plan these things ahead of time? She hasn't been back 24 hours and already we have to put out fires...), so I'll have to finish this later.
