Or Not

It is now five months after that weekend and I can't remember exactly what film I was going to rant about, so instead I will move forward and focus on the now. (As much as the now includes a brief look at something that happened at the end of July, but it relates to what was mentioned before, so will serve as the connection between the past and the present.)

Probably the single most major development of the preceding five months was my rejection of vegetarianism. The reasons are neither profound nor philosophically based: I just really desired a KFC double crunch burger. I knew it was wrong, but my desire for the chicken flesh in the unique KFC crumbed basting stuff was just too strong. Now although I do eat meat and chicken and fish again, I don't eat as much as I did before my spell with vegetarianism. I know I will return to it one day, but for now I have resigned and accepted that I will live in sin, as it were, until that day.

Otherwise, I am on holiday, as much as you can be when you have a part-time job. I am on holiday, from university, would be a more accurate statement. My job only occupies me at night during the week and either the mornings or afternoons on Saturdays and Sundays, in one of the four possible combinations of those two periods of time. Another part-time job is needed though: not earning enough to support my freewheeling partying lifestyle right now. (Ja, that was meant to be a joke.) But seriously, I have stuff to pay for and an extra job would help me tremendously.

Now to consider what that extra job should be... I have no experience as a waitron and I think I would throw myself in the deep end starting now in December, but it will only get more hecticker (my spelling) as the World Cup looms larger and larger on the Cape Town tourism scene. It will definitely create more strenuous and hectic work situations in the service industry. But there really is nothing else I can think of to occupy myself for a short period of time and get out of as soon as university starts, if it starts again for me (...), next year in February. More thought is required on this front.

Not to leave this post on a downer (technically not a downer, just my considerations of jobs and lack of money could be considered a downer. It is probably a downer actually, 'cos it limits stuff I can do, but still, I don't want to say it's a downer, although I just said it's a downer...) I am happy to have lots of free time to read books. Working at a book store affords me access to lots and lots of books. This makes me happy.

I think my next post will cover the various books I am in the process of reading. Should be fun and informative, if you like books.
