Weekend Review:
Friday: Long day at work, almost no thrill to kill the seconds… Thought I would vanish into the mists towards the jungles of Valachan but no… Home to replenish the belly and then to watch The Devil wears Prada.
The Devil wears Prada: Well, I have to say I felt like watching a spin of Betty la Fea. Of course, Anne Hathaway is far from ugly, she has a classy loveliness mixed with eyes that can melt an iceberg. She reminds me of Sandra Bullock in the beginning… Anyway, her “Andy” was credible, and fun. I felt the same way as her character did almost at the end, when she defends her boss saying “I wonder if she were a man would you still feel that way”. Loved the movie, entertaining and witty… plus fashionable… Hah! Andy kept the boots and the jacket! What a fashion whore! ;)
And it’s true, women in power are always on the spot, and regarded as being a devil because they succeed based on personal sacrifices… Most often than not they do have feelings and they do care, but people have a tendency to mix business with pleasure… a big mistake. It is the same as mixing friends and work, a complete no-no… Acquaintances at work should share camaraderie, but more often than not any relationship that leans towards friendship screws things up (especially in this island). And it’s all because friendship is misinterpreted as an invisible permission to simply avoid unwanted tasks… or being careless… or doing the things one prefers first… That’s why so many friend-on-friend partnership ends up in a big breakup that destroys the previous relationship… It’s a fine line most people don’t really get…
Saturday: If a day could be dedicated to cluelessness and boringness, this is it. From waking up to dusk it was simply… a pointless useless day. At least by dinner things got a bit more interesting. Passed by Lucinda’s Lair and played a round of Sims2 with Diego, under a tree. Then the biggest ebay adventure, and the hunt for the right wire. Watched how Lucinda battled the demons of the lost spears, as well as I got to battle a minion of my own 8-legged demons. Whee!
Sunday: No light since 7am… Woke up by 11something, and since there was no hope for a warm breakfast ran towards the nearest Meson. Wandered zombieland and got a few items needed for auntie’s bathroom. An old computers professor from RUM recognized me and said hi. I didn’t recall him at first then exclaimed in amazement that he had lost weight… The guy didn’t even wit for me to finish the sentence, exclaiming “200 pounds”. LOL That’s a wow! He looks younger and taller than I recalled. That’s to prove things can change in six years or so… Hmmm…
Passed by my house to give some water to the almost dead avocado tree, and to cheer up the other trees… Back home light made its appearance around 5pm. Engaged on a cleaning frenzy and left a spotless bath. The washer is officially broken thanks to yesterday’s blackout, so again it will be a long waiting for the repairman… It’s all been so lovely… At least got the message that one of the lamps is working (amen #1, two to go)… And then some head-aching ideas...
Monday: And here I am… It’s 8something, people are still arriving at work, surely so tired of the weekend… So far, no excitement and no news… The promise of a long day ahead…
