Spending my Time

Category: Life & Me | 5 Comments | Posted 13:30

I want broadband. I've decided not to try the connection until at least 2pm tho (half way thru the allotted time slot of 8am-8pm). So I've been trying to keep myself occupied. Been lying in bed reading all morning, then took a nice bath (again, reading, also using cool green bath pillow).. so now I'm writing up this entry which originally I wanted to write last night, but instead I spent some 6hrs chatting I believe (we had 4 answerphone messages, ahem). I'm scared of switching on my mobile cuz I was being a bitch to Mon last night (ahem, sorry Mon, you know how I get ;;) :| :-s), but I will need to eventually as I'm waiting for texts from Chris and Noura. As soon as BML Me gets up, I'll ask her if she wants to go for a walk as is nice & sunny again... and then I can finally try our broadband.

What I should be doing but am not, is finishing those darn application forms, and maybe doing the dishes. I've found I rather like the words "commiserate" and "commiserations". Much better word than "condolences". I shall endeavour to use that more often. I've also found I'd maybe like to get into the publishing business. There aren't many jobs I can see myself enjoying, but maybe publishing would be one of them... journalism too but I lack the writing talent for that. Maybe research for the media. I'm good at research (except when it involves calling scary people & asking questions). One of the agencies have found a position I may be suited for, they will submit my CV. It's in recruitment and really well paid but, well, it involves calling scary people and asking questions. In fact it involves mainly that. Of course I still said I was interested. Must keep all options open. By not finishing application forms for instance.

I came upon the word "commiserate" this morning when I was reading Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes rules, btw. He is pretty smart. I like his rational and logical way of explaining mysteries, I really do.
You should all read Sherlock Holmes!!! *g*

I haven't read many of them yet, only "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". And I began to read "A Study in Scarlet".
I'd recommend the last one to start with 'cause it's about how Watson met Sherlock Holmes for the first time (and that's quite funny). "A Study in Scarlet" is also the first of those Holmes-adventures Watson takes part in (all Sherlock Holmes stories are told from Watsons point of view, btw).

You can read the Penguin edition (incl. nice artwork *hehe*) here: http://www.bakerstreet221b.de/
