jian came over today to imbibe, harrass joel and naturally we ended up jamming. it was good to have things fall into harmony. music makes sense when all else fails. when i told him that these days i feel as if music just doesn't do it for me, i don't think i earnestly meant it.
it's been awhile since i last felt anything at all.
aside from mild disappointment in a number of instances, the only other emotion i've had lately is quiet pride for work done well and recognised.

my shopping list seems to be spilling over... by the end of this weekend i aim to acquire :
- a new belt
dinner/evening shirts
- new soles for my shoes
- or new shoes
- a dark plain-ish tie
- swimming bermudas
- casual bermudas (i'm not sure if i'm getting this right...)
good bargain books from the atria warehouse sale- i think i overspent here, considering that i haven't even touched the books i bought in karachi, but i'm consoling myself with the fact that they were just too cheap to resist and i'll be giving two of them away as christmas gifts!
- a christmas tree - as per family tradition, first year's bonus goes to buying the family a christmas tree. am a little disappointed with the ones i've seen so far, though...
i hate shopping for clothes... it's so hard to find stuff i like that fits and doesn't blow my stressed out year-end-christmas-wedding-season budget.
on top of my shopping i also need to bring joel to the groomers', fix a burnt ceiling fan (don't ask), clear/dry/iron my weekly laundry load and squeeze in time to get some weekend work done. tell me again why weekends are *special*?
