I can see a future trend emerging here. I can't find the time to write a daily entry, even just a few lines about how the day went and then, when something bad happens, I suddenly find the time. Well today's installment of unhappiness comes courtesy of the early morning wake-up call in the form of the news that HIM (my beloved Finnish love-metallers) are breaking up after a 26 year career making the most beautiful music I have ever heard. I fell in love with them about 10 years ago and never looked back, my infatuation with the lead singer Ville Valo being a particularly memorable highlight in many of my friends' eyes (thank you Eloise for the card and the chanting all those years ago!)
I hope I can make it to their farewell tour in London on December 17th (whether I remember or can is another matter altogether though....)
In other news, my rehearsals for the Easter Showcase with UPAD are going alright, though a lack of time meant I wasn't able to perform my single part during the full run-through - which sucks because me and Lois are still having troubles getting our part right. In good news though, Jenna is doing better than she thinks in her play so I shall have to congratulate her when I see her next.
I went to the doctors last week and found the acidic taste in my throat was stress-induced acid reflux (so now I have pills.....which I genuinely hate taking) and I have to make sure I give myself suitable breaks from my work to stop the stress building up, but I know my main problem is I procrastinate before I work and then run out of time. Hmph.
However, I do feel I am getting a handle on the necessary things and I shouldn't be stressing excessively come deadlines - though it may be a little early to be saying that so I'll just leave it as an open-ended hope at the moment.
Cervinia is my light on the horizon - paid in full now and under a month to go before I'm back in the Italian Alps, enjoying pasta and snowy vistas and trying not to fall on my arse again.
I should probably end here as I have work to do and an ever decreasing time frame in which to do it in, so I shall say bye and hopefully be back sooner next time.
