e_clareIt's delightful to be home. Delightful, and a bit dull already. It's clear I'm not going to get the sort of hours I wanted at the movie theatre, which means I'll have lots of time to spend mooching free movies off of my employer. (There's that holiday spirit!)
I've been going through my 150-some digital photos from the past four months -- and damn, some of them are bad. It's amazing how you can't really tell how bad a picture will turn out when you see it on a 1" x 2" LED screen. Things look so much cooler when they're that small -- and a lot sharper, too. Oh well. This is why all the important pictures -- Oslo, people dressed up at events, some of the house -- are on the trusty 35mm. Here's hoping those, at least, turn out nicely.
Regressed a few years last night to hang out with people from high school: met them at Stauf's, moved from the coffee shop to Meijer at 11:30 (I can't get over how big stuff is here, nor how late it's open), then from the superstore to Waffle House, and after Waffle House, two hours of Simpsons Jeopardy. There's something about surreptitiously passing around a bottle of peppermint schnapps in the car, and running around Meijer late at night, that makes me feel much younger -- and not necessarily in a good way. At any rate, it was worth it to get to see people -- even if it was an inescapable reminder of how little things change in Grandview.
Looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. [To-do list] Have to decide if I want to go back East with Dad on the 31st, or work the extra two days and leave on the 2nd or 3rd; have to do laundry tonight. What a thrilling life I do lead.
