My first full day of being free from my jail cell, free from haunting deadlines and free from the stress-filled air of the design studio at school, a place I have been calling home over the last couple of weeks. After I night filled with depressing movies(but amazing), great friends and decent drinks, all I wanted was to sleep in and wake up at my leisure. Maybe crawl out of bed, stretch my arms to the ceiling and then go for some coffee. Turn on some lovely music and think about all the things I want to make in the coming weeks. How lovely does that sound? Well, to me it sounds amazing, that is a luxury I just haven't had in recent days. The reality of it all is a big-ass super-sized tree-eating monster outside my window. My brain was jolted out of deep, hangover curing sleep by the sounds of men with giant, industrial sized saws, cutting branches off of trees on my street. These include the branches right around my window. It didn't stop there, after hours of cutting and pruning with the loudest saws of Canada, they turned on the loudest, biggest wood-chipper I have ever seen (except at a sawmill, cause they are WAY bigger). All these branches of my street are being fed into the monster, even still hours later. and this sucks. I eventually adapted to the sounds as I looked for a comfortable way to burrow my head into the pillows, and somehow fell back asleep, my dreams taking on a soundtrack, the score being composed by a giant woodchipper.
I did get a surprise parcel notice on my door yesterday. Someone sent me a package! Not all to uncommon during the holidays, but knowing that most of my family I will see over the holidays, friends as well, there is no need for someone to send me something, for they can give it to me in person. Quite exciting really, this mysterious gift. I shouldn't get my hopes up, it may not be a gift at all. It could be my lover's head or a pair of eyeballs wrapped in cloth. ok too many movies. Maybe it is that Ewok I asked for so many years ago. Did it get lost in the mail? Lose it's way from Endor all the way to earth in a warp speed maze through space? yes, it must have.
