owlbeer | Cancellation, Assimilation, Transportation.

1. NBC cancelling The West Wing after 7 seasons.

This might sound a little blasphemous as I recently said this was my favourite TV show ever, but I'm actually kinda glad about this. The end of the Bartlet Presidency seems like a logical place to end it and the show has passed its prime. Now, I just hope Wells and co gives the show an ending it deserves because I fear what could happen. Just, say no to helicopters, Mr Wells.

2.I have been assimilated. A very charming salesman turned up at my door today and convinced me to change to a Telecom cellphone. It made sense, I swear. Really. Although I do feel a little bit like I'm lettting the Vodafone side down and have sold out. Also, I'll miss my Nokia 3315. It's old, but it's served me well.

3.You know the cheap flight I was so happy to get? I'm still happy but something I didn't think about at the time is that it's leaving Monday afternoon and all of my family will be at work at that time and won't be there to see me off. My Dad is a bit disappointed about that. *sighs* I still can't handle disappointing him, even if it's something like that.

I still don't think it's hit me that I'm really leaving, and how much I'll be winging it when I get there. Probably no job, no real permanent residence, just a friend's couch. Exciting, sure, but scary as all hell.

4. I was in a rather gloomy mood tonight, due to really small, stupid things, like the above. So I decided I'd push that a little further and watch Finding Neverland again. I still cry. I love that movie. So much.
