Too much like work for my tastes
I dislike moving. While I am not yet at the point of physically sending all my material belongings across the nation again, I am nonetheless in the process of moving. First, however, I need to figure out where I am going to be moving to. Edmonton is a rather large-ish city, and has many different places where one could pile one's stuff and make a home. I just need to find the one with the best Feng Shui,* and coordinate how I will be able to see this place from here in Ottawa.

* Feng Shui in this case meaning not whether the entrance is placed to the north for the best chi, but whether or not the place is furnished and has high-speed internet included in the rent, that sort of thing.

Speaking of Ottawa, I'm probably going to be miss being here somewhat. It's been fun living on my own, and more specifically, working**. However, I'm finding that I'm looking forward to going back to school. I like my job and everything, but I don't love it with all my heart and wish I could do it forever and ever and ever. Since I have the ability to just leave and go do something else, I am looking forward to doing so, and at the very least, it'll be nice to be back in Edmonton, even if it's just for a little while. Some people have asked me if I think I'll ever be in Ottawa again, and while I wouldn't mind, it's not going to be a defining factor in my search for work, and I'm going to go whereever opportunity takes me. Could mean Ottawa again, but it could just as easily mean Calgary or Vancouver or Toronto or even Fort Mac. As much as I would like to avoid it, the money they pay you up there would be worth it, methinks.

** Say what you will about work vs. school, but work definitely gets an edge in that it becomes over at the end of the day - unless you're one of those VP-types who never really leaves work, of course. School, on the other hand, just seems to be omnipresent and all-smothering.

Another thing I'll be looking forward to is Taekwond-do. Fencing is fun, but there's something satisfying to fighting with your fists and feet that fencing just doesn't have. Something about shield bashes and headbutts being uncivilized and frowned upon. Oh, and something about safety reasons. Regardless, while fighting with a sword kicks all kinds of snack ass, fighting unarmed kicks just as much ass*** and I have not done it in a longer time. That, and I haven't broken any boards in 7 months, and that is just criminal. Smashing and breaking things should be done on a weekly basis to maintain sanity. Well, a lot of things should be done on a (no less than) weekly basis to maintain sanity, some things should be done far more often, but smashing things is definitely among all those.

*** Whether this ass is snack remains to be seen.

The Doctor Who theme still has its hooks in my brain, but to a lesser extent now. I only have to listen to it every other song now, instead of constantly. As part of yet another music-related musing, I am now wondering if I can have what I'm playing in Winamp as I post display in the post itself. Something along the lines of having each post end with "I'm listening to by . You should be too." For example, right now I'm listening to Sign of the Southern Cross, by Black Sabbath, and you should be too, because it is kickass. Y'know why it's kickass? Because it's Ronny James Dio, that's why.
