Never do today what you can postpone and do tomorrow

Monday, September 24th, 2007 | Random

Or is it “Don’t postpone to tomorrow, what you can do today”? I really hope I’ll manage to go & see Hallam Foe on the big screen soon! The previous Sunday (Sep 16) I couldn’t be bothered to get up & dressed to make it to the special lunch screening. This Saturday (Sep 22) I would have had to hurry to make it to the 2.30pm screening - I (again) couldn’t be bothered, esp. with lots and lots and lots of free time coming up on Sunday. Or so I thought…. until I got the call. My parents - currently on vacation - had forgotten some very important stuff they just couldn’t do without… And so, little me drove some 230 kilometres to help them out. Actually, I really enjoyed it. I’ve never driven [a car myself] that long a distance before (not to mention doing it [completely] on my own and to another country) and the weather was really nice. After spending a lovely late-afternoon and evening with them I was too tired to drive back. So, I decided to spend the night. I went to bed at 8.30pm - and got up at 4.45 am. Wow! That means I’ll be up for 7 hours soon - and it’s not even lunch break yet. After changing cars (to help out my dad’s employee I’m sharing the car with - though I don’t know what he’s done to make him deserving of my extra efforts lol) & stopping at home to get my brother’s contact lenses (he’s on vacation in another part of the country and needs me to send them to him via Priority Mail later today - of course I could have driven the total of 6hours to him & back home but enough is enough…) - this took an additional 45 minutes - I got to the office on time. Well, almost. It was 8.03am - 3 minutes late. (I really would have preferred going straight to the office…. I could have left earlier in the evening today and on all the next days - or of course I could have slept a bit longer this morning)

So much excitement - and I still haven’t seen Hallam Foe. I suppose I’ll have to go to the 8.30pm screening tomorrow - I don’t see any other free time coming up all week (of course this is also the week I’m working full-time because my boss is on vacation) - and the film might not have as good screening times when the new programme launches - and I’ll go on a short trip anyway next weekend.

p.s. I’m anxious to see how Wordpress 2.3 behaves - in relation with my favourite plugins…..

Aww, I’m sorry you didn’t get to see Hallom Foe. Just think of it this way, you’ll get to see it eventually =).

I love going on long drives, it’s great. I love getting to see things I never have before. And it’s especially fun to go on long drives with friends. I’m glad you had a good time.

I love long drives too - but it’s only really great fun when done with company. Yet, I do love to be on my own sometimes! My dad told me to bring someone but I decided not to. And I was glad. Listening to A Fine Frenzy a zillion times and just driving without thinking too much was kind of great. All in all, in this case I’d have preferred to do it under less time pressure. After all, I went there, ate, slept and drove back, all within 19 hours… Both ways I never once stopped and it was mostly only motorways - so I didn’t get to see much while driving…. But I don’t want to complain. I will remember this weekend for a long time

Unfortunately I did not get to see Hallam Foe in the cinema - like you, I had plans of seeing it several times but something always came up. And now I see they’ve already pulled it away. I’m so sad.

Oh, I’m sorry! It’s a shame.
