it’s the weekend.

it’s time for me to go home which means it’s well and truly the weekend.  i’m getting a bottle of wine and drinking it as soon as i get home.  maybe i’ll be drunk before the Brit gets home.

my cover got approved  so i had to call our Hong Kong office to coordinate printing.  i had to talk really loudly (because they are apparently deaf) and very slowly (my american accent is not universally accepted/understood) and still they didn’t understand what i meant when i said my cover bled to the edge.  i expected them to know what this meant because they’re printers.   i had to tell them how to print it.  it was bizarre.  when i got off the phone,  everyone around me was laughing and imitating how slowly i was talking.   i was not feeling good about my covers so i convinced everyone here to print them in melbourne and send them to hong kong (i offered to take them there personally but i got denied).

this weekend i’m hoping will be a quiet one.   next weekend is our last weekend in melbourne before we fly home to america so i want to lay low and take it easy.  we’re going to see “Phedre” at the cinema tomorrow (live broadcast from the national theatre in london) so i’m looking forward to that but other than that,  i am staying in my pajamas.  hell, i may even wear my pajamas to the cinema.  it’s the weekend after all. 

until monday.  have a nice weekend everyone!
