Further update...

As I said in my message below, I have had a lot going on over the past little while, but I didn’t really feel much like blogging. For me, blogging has taken a back seat to the rest of my life. This blog was initially started as a way to communicate with my friends while I was going to school in Nanaimo. Since I moved back to Victoria, the need for a blog has diminished. I also believe that another contributing factor is that my communication has improved. I live with two great people that have both had a positive effect on my life. I worry less, and I talk more. But in any case, on to the news.

I have been living with Samara and Crystal for almost four months, and really feel like I am at home now and even more so since I painted my room. I am more relaxed than I have been in quite some time. On the work front, I am no longer doing my Systems Specialist job. Instead, I am now supervising in the Dining Room two days a week, and I am still in the Gelateria the other three days. it has been working out pretty well. Being a supervisor definitely has its stresses, but it also has its rewards.

School is starting soon, on September 7. It looms ever closer. Student loans, papers and projects. All are in my near future. I’m sort of excited to go back, but a little apprehensive at the same time.

And as a final thought, what the hell is with gas prices right now? 111.9? That is freaking highway robbery! And it really taking place on a highway.

There, that’s my rant for the day.

Ah, the things I have accomplished

With the help of roommates and my sister, I spent last weekend painting my room. I am so happy with the way that it has turned out. It feels like my space now. The colour before I painted (as evidenced by the photos below) was just not restful. I woke up in the morning to bright orange. I have red sheets on my bed. Nothing went with everything. The new colours are excellent.

But there is a creepy side to the painting of my room. I selected my colours off of the swatches at the paint store, and ordered the paint using the number on the swatch. I never look at the name of the paint, because it never connects to the colour anyways. So I order the paint, and the cashier types the numbers into the computer and passes me my invoice. The colour on my walls is called “Lamb’s Ear.” I think that that information just reinforces my point above. What is the name of my darker plate-rail colour? That’s right, you guessed it…

Butchart Gardens

Creepy, eh? Just when I didn’t think that the Gardens could creep into my life any more, they crop up again. I really do like the colour though.

Anyways, speaking of the Gardens, I gotta shower and get ready to go. I’ll try and update again in the next couple of days. I have a lot that has been going on, I just haven’t really felt like blogging lately.

Ciao!


The "before" shot. This was the colour of my room. Emphasis on the "was."


More orange


AH!! The orange!! It is sooooo... orange.


Two coats of primer and a mountain of chaos later...


This is quite possibly the mosy boring photograph ever. Charcoal office chair in white room. I should submit it to the National Gallery in Ottawa.


The spirit of this happy face will dwell forever on the wall above my bed


Note the new window covering...


4 coats of paint later, and my room looks great!


My new desktop background... Dahlia at night
