Photos From Prison

I’ve been saying I’ll post photos of the new condo for a while now, but have not actually worked my way around to doing so. Until today! Aha! Now, I’ve put them behind a cut-tag, so that people with slow modems (I’m looking at you here, !) don’t mutter obscenities at my inconsiderate visual spamming of their LJs.

And an important warning to readers who may not have LiveJournals of their own: anyone not signed in with a LiveJournal account that I have “friended” will not be able to see these pics, since I’ve locked them as “friends-only” in a mild bout of paranoia about my apartment being potentially scoped and broken into, after ‘s recent incident of burglary just up the road. So get an account, friend me, and sign in so you can see my pics!

Anyhow, go take a peek at where I’ve been holed up to do schoolwork for the past week. It’s extremely Ikea-y. , this is very exciting, you can now see my new place! Yay! (Note: If you click on them, they’ll enlarge so you can see details)

Also, I am going to ‘s wedding in late June, and I’m looking for flights. My Mum bought hers yesterday, so she’s been hunting around, and I know is still hunting for his, but if anyone sees any seat sales for YYZ-YVR or YYJ for anytime in the range of June 20-29th, please let me know!

Back to the essay writing. Waiting for an afternoon visit from before he goes into work for the Silver Snail Midnight Madness sale this evening! Midnight Madness! Woot!

Cabin Fever OR Isolation and Insanity: Day 7

Some of you may have noticed I’ve been a little quiet on LiveJournal recently. Like, the past week.

I’ve been in self-imposed isolation, having taken the week off work to write my school thesis papers.

Now, I did the right thing and went to the pub on Saturday to see Cat during her sojourn here in lovely Ontario. Was already suffering from lack of social skills at the time. Broke under the pressure of rye and ginger and had to go home to see my sweetheart (who is living in Weston while I plug away at academics alone downtown) on Sunday. And my Mum did come by and take he and I out for supper to an oyster house on Easter Monday (which was a debacle in terms of me not knowing that Rodney’s on King is closed Easter Monday, and then not knowing where in the hell the distillery district really is, but never mind I don’t have time to post about that now – still, mmm, tasty oysters!).

However.

I am now deep in the paper writing, and am struggling to neither watch TV, leave the house, think about home reno, or read LiveJournal. And my resolve is cracking. How often on a sunny spring Thursday afternoon do I get the opportunity to do WHATEVER I WANT, which includes NOT BEING IN AN OFFICE? Not that often. But I must, must, must finish (or at least get a really solid handle on) my papers, which means gluing myself to my computer.

Help! Help! I want to go outside! Please post your support for me to remain indoors and maybe actually FINISH my Master’s degree this time around!!!
