6 Minute Decompression

Six minutes left at work, and what should I do? Write on my blog, of course!!!

My birthday is in about a week but I got my present early. HELLO BAND HERO!!! (It's like rock band but made by the people who did guitar hero. No, seriously, I'm not making that up). Speaking of which, does anyone know what the rules are with parentheses? I'm always confused about when it's actually appropriate to use them instead of for dialogue effect in my writing. Please fee free to educate me. ANYWAY...Band Hero. You know you're a teenager when you buy an entire video game just because they make it possible for you to play the guitar as Taylor Swift. I've been playing it every single day. I'd like to make a shout out to Nate for enabling me to pursue this addiction. ROCK ON!!!

Second of all, work. I'm on a temporary contract so that means that every two years I have to re-apply and re-interview for the job I already have. Don't worry, this happens with all the time at SLCC. Gotta love working for government agencies, lol!!!

Vacation

I wish this blog were to announce an upcoming vacation or show off pictures from one I just returned from, but, alas, it is simply to say that Nate was tempting me to take off right now and go to Vegas for the weekend. I think of my pre-married life when I would already be packed and walking out the car. Instead I am thinking of my meeting tomorrow morning, a wedding to attend on Saturday and a lesson to teach to some 8-year-olds on Sunday. My ex-boyfriend used to call me Sponty (short for spontaneous). And then the mission happened and planning got implanted in my brain and now I'm only spontaneous when I can plan to be. LAME SAUCE.

Speaking of planned spontaneity...




It's Festival of Colors time again!!! I almost wish I could skip this weekend and go to March 27th. I LOVE the Festival of Colors. The picture above is from the first time I went in 2008. This is a picture from last year:
What better way to celebrate the coming of Spring than by throwing colored powders at each other in a large, chaotic mess? I wouldn't miss this for the world. The night before we're also going to my first Indian American Pow-Wow. So hopefully we'll have all sorts of fun stories to tell. Okay, so maybe planned spontaneity isn't so bad. And you know what, there's plenty of fun stuff to do around here anyway.
