I see your face on the marble arch

Still computer-less. Of a sort. Still "my own computer"-less. I'm not suffering too badly (well, except for the lack of novel-writing. Waaaahhhhh..... I thought that '05 was going to be my year! Booo...), and at least I have a support number to call tomorrow. Then, we'll see what kind of apocalyptic news they give me (and how many apocalyptic dollars it'll cost to fix), and how long I'll have to be without. *sigh*

I have Thanksgiving plans, though. I'm taking Lourenzo to his friend Anna's house in the morning, and he'll go to the parade with them, and then they're coming out here for dinner. I'm not. I'm going to the parade with Ryan and Jeana, and then I'm going to Matt's house with a bunch of other people for dinner. Should be fun. I'm actually really looking forward to it. And I'll take pictures. Especially of the parade.

Oy. I'm so tired.

I totally want to find some choral society or chamber choir doing Handel's "Messiah" this Christmas. So far, though, the only one I've found is on a Tuesday night--the last Tuesday that I'll be at my small group before I leave for Christmas. I'll already have to miss our last one, which sucks, and I don't want to miss the one before that, too.

Okay. Bedtime. This is the part of my life right now that I like least. When 11:30 is a late night, something is seriously wrong in the life of Alida. Besides the fact that this is completely against my normal lifestyle schedule, it's also incredibly inconvenient when everyone lives a 2-hour time difference away. That means that when I'm getting ready to head to bed by 11, it's only 9:00 in Calgary, and everyone there is just gearing up for the "free" part of the evening. Dinner's over, work's done, dishes are done... it's time to veg out in front of the TV or hang out and talk to Alida. But no.... Alida's going to bed. Sucks. There's a reason I'm a night owl.

And on that very happy and cheerful note, I'm going to go to sleep. Man, 6:00 comes way too early.
