Power Up!
January 20, 2008
There were two things I wished for when I woke up this morning: 1) I be able to get an entire row to myself for my flight to Seattle, and 2) that I have a power outlet so I can work like mad on my 5 hour flight across the continent. I think really I would have been glad with either, but today I really felt like someone was watching out for me when both wishes came true. I sit here in seat 28F with the biggest smile on my face because I have my own entertainment console, my own row, and my very own power outlet. Now I don’t have to choose between work and writing, and on this very long flight I’ll get to do both.
I’ve never been to Seattle before and I’m absolutely ecstatic to have this break from the usual routine and do something a little different for the next few weeks. I don’t expect to do much besides work insane hours, but I’m going to make a point of going and seeing the city (maybe attempting to see natural daylight will be my first goal), and spending time with friends.
Yesterday as I was judging UTEK, I got a call from my friend telling me that he ran into one of our Seattle based friends on the frigid streets of Toronto. He mentioned that I was going, which was funny because I was going to message him that same night. And today he found me in the boarding area as we were waiting for our flight. It should be good, he shares the same interest in Indie music so I’m hoping to go and see a lot of show over the next month, not to mention a visit to Mt Rainier National Park, and hopefully a sojourn to Vancouver to visit my cousin.
Not much else is going on except that I’ve been working like crazy. Apparently not hard enough though (okay I slacked off nearing the end of the week because I was burning out). I’ve grown more accustomed to my contacts and I think I almost like them more than wearing glasses. Whenever I change out of my contacts and put my thick black frames back on I’m not sure if I really like them. I guess it’s the “getting use to them again” each time I switch back. The adjustment isn’t so bad—not compared to everyone else getting used to me without glasses on.
Thursday was the MIE Etiquette dinner and when I got there, I saw my friend who I obviously greeted and asked how she was doing. She gave me a dirty look and was really confused. To put it simply, it was the “who the hell is she?” look. I wasn’t sure if she was angry at me or not, but then I figured she didn’t recognize me. Another friend panicked asking me if I had lost my glasses and if I required any help getting around. I told her that I was wearing contacts and her reaction was, “you were able to put them in?” Eventually my friend Tom recognized me, and gave me a great big hug. Maybe I should have made the switch to contacts earlier? There’s only one person I can think of who saw me on several occasions without my glasses so I guess it’ll take a while for others to get used to it too. With the suggestion of modeling from a few maybe I’ll give it a try sometime in 2008! Ha ha ha, okay maybe not with the expectation of actually becoming one, but to get someone to actually do his voice acting!
