God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

It's time for the last shopping and last details !

 

A lot of things happened and it looks like some "resolutions" come in my mind...

First of all, on December 13rd, our Zakky boy (from A Joker's Rage) said he was driving his fiancée to the hospital, the next day, he was posting an adorable picture of their little Jacobi ! We are all sooooo happy for them !!! 

And, it's so strange to realize that, now, one of my rockers is a dad !!!!

Last week, when I had my crazy-useless-days, Jack sent me some good news (that I cannot share with you right now) about Josh's upcoming album. It's nice to know that he needs me for some stuff, not only booking gigs. What is not nice to know when it's almost Christmas and that, here, there is a lot of things to do, is learning that I have to check and update a BIG database from now to mid-January !!

It's probably THE thing that I really really hate cuz it's more than boring (well no, there is also adding gig to every French musical websites ! Don't know which one is the worst !), and I have other stuffs to do right now... like packing my Dad's birthday gift and find a bday gift for my big brother who's turning 30 next week !

The "good" news is that I finally found all the Xmas gift ! Pretty good when we know that I have to deal 3 birthdays AND Christmas ! Thank you life ! :)

My sister arrives tomorrow morning, and my brother and Cc on saturday morning, so are my Grand-Parents. I let you imagine the panic at home... Today is Dad's birthday, he's just back from Cairo, he has to go to India in January, he's on holidays tomorrow evening, my Mum is a little bit angry cuz he never really takes days-off, we still have some food to buy tomorrow and cook. In between, it will be cleaning everywhere ! With almost 15 people for Christmas, you can understand that I really don't have the time to update the database....

And now, the resolutions.

It came to me the other night, watching Disney's the Beauty and the Beast. 

As I said, few days before, Zakk announced that his son was born. I thought about my friends and realized that a lot of them are happy couples, some are engaged, other have kids. I don't know if it's the Christmas spirit or something, but I admit that sometimes I'd like to think about future. 

In the same time, I noted an extract from the book I'm reading, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

Because I don't know if you read it or not (or want it or not), I'm gonna try to not spoil. But, FYI, the book is a compilation of letters between people living in Guernsey Island and a Lady-writer based in London in 1946. The book is awesome !

Anyway. One of the letter is written by one of the women of the book, writing to a friend. She talks about tha guy she met and she likes. She thinks that some romantic feelings are between them, and finally realize that she's completely wrong. He's nice with her just because he needs her help.
I read the letter, and thought that... I was not the only one !

Maybe it's time for me to write down the name of the guys I thought I like, and burn the paper. Turn the page, move on. 

Because it's December, all the magazines are publishing January issues with the annual horoscopes. I read two or three magazines, don't remember, and they are all talking about professional success and romance. I don't know if I have to believe in it or not !

Another resolution, is that in few days, this old laptop is gonna die (don't tell him right now, it's a secret between you and I ! - yes, him, my laptop always been a dude !). Because I wanna be sure to lose nothing this time, I'm already saving all my datas ! Serious resolution, delete the old 2010-2011 covering letters and write real new ones. 

Every time I'm applying to a job, I write a new letter, and always use a paragraph from the old one, cuz I like the way I wrote it. It's time to change.

I sent a last résumé this week, with a brand new covering letter. I hope they will, at least, call me back to tell me they got it. 

There are resolutions N°1 and N°2. 

Of course, there are others. Cleaning a little bit more different rooms in the house (for example, I think it's been 1 week or 2 I have to clean my desk... this dust is ... not cute...), like checking the doctors early in 2012, do the things in the right time, stop swearing all the time (dear laptop, I'm really sorry for all the bad words I said to you !!), drive on the Parisian ring road (no laugh please !) and learn how to go out our parking with our car without crashing it against the wall or the door... (our garage is really really hard, we see nothing, got no space to do a real manoeuvre, and the wall are a little bit askew. So, going out is always a mission...)

But now, it's almost time for me to leave. No music quizz tonight cuz the last of the year was last week, but for a show for my Dad's birthday. We're going to the Slava's Snowshow.

I have only one little problem. I'm afraid of clowns (long story, because of the film It), and... it's a clown. (I think I should be alright !)
