Tomorrow I'll be off to Toronto to rendezvous with Woon Teng for my Columbus Day weekend getaway. There will be the Niagara Falls, the usual touristy things to do, high living at a youth hostel... I'm pretty jazzed - or would be - if not for the necessity of getting all my piled-up work out of the way before I hop off for a blissfully unproductive weekend. And it's a
lot of piled-up work, because I seem to be doing everything by fits and starts these days - alternating between periods of frenetic diligence and laziness. Bah.
The TV adaptation of
Mists of Avalon is not very good, but entertaining nonetheless. It doesn't come close to Marion Zimmer Bradley's original epic, but who can resist seeing all that tangled Arthurian romantic melodrama onscreen, overblown to the point of hilarity?
[edit] I feel remarkably sober, for the first time in more than 2 weeks. Sober enough to sincerely regret all the hysterical dissipation that I'd been indulging in at the expense of good, solid, serious
work.
Back to atonement.
