vij is here!

good day: vij arrived today! it's SOOO nice to have a friend from home here - not that i don't love my friends here, i do! - but i've known vij since my university days in waterpoo, when life was innocent (soon to be not-so-innocent) and crazy, and we were young and stupid. we would always have the best chats too - not just girl talk (though that's pretty important) but also political issues, world events, debates, our respective immigrant experiences, stuff like that. good times also included watching "america's next top model" while drinking wine and smoking a doobie.

so-so day: day two of flat hunting and i'm already starting to feel frustrated and drained; a hole in the ground sounds positively luxurious right about now, as long as i can afford it and move into it right away. we have second dibs on a flat that i saw yesterday - first dibs go to a mother with a child and a nanny - it would weigh on my conscience if they were left homeless! i do secretly hope though that she'll say no so that we can have it. fingers and toes are crossed.

my favourite quote (courtesy of office biatch):

"be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss)

goodnight!
CET :o)
