Keeping It Short...

anonymoose_au11:48pm: Because I was distracted by watching various figure skating programs since I didn't see them all.
Interesting competition to be sure, although it's weird when you listen to the commentators and they're all like "Oh wow this is so amazing!" or "So-and-so just captures your attention right off" and I'm just like... "I find them super boring to be honest."
Of course, I should admit my terrible bias towards Plushy and his arm movements, apparently the arm movements are not beloved by everyone and most skaters don't do them, because they're "tacky" if you ask me though, they lend a real pizazz to a program and makes it more interesting! Something's happening all the time and all that jazz.
I've also realised while watching Plushy videos that I prefer the old footwork, there's a lot of one-footed skating these days, which I guess is harder, so fair enough, but the two-footed stuff lend itself to so much more expressiveness and what not! Now you get dinged in points if you spend too long on two skates. Booo.
Anyway! Today I said goodbye to the parental units who as I type are on the plane to Japan to see their first grandchild, with my kangaroo plush in tow! I hope it's well received, with any luck I'll get a photo.
I also go to the Council Info Booth on time, even though I stopped by Mona Vale Library to fill out my time sheet since I forgot to do that yesterday. I'm not sure if I did it early enough to still get paid, or if I still get paid anyway? Since I'm permanent part-time. I'll have to keep my eye on things, I suppose.
Finally, since I'm running out of time, the Friday Infobooth shifts have been cancelled, which is understandable since the submission have to be received by that date, so unless we can get everyone to do it online, nothing from that day would get to the Submissions Board anyway.
Right, time to wrap this up and hit the hay, I keep staying up too late!
Goodnight all!
