"Are you taking the Mickey?"

WHOA. What a week. GREAT thanksgiving dinner last Saturday thanks for Alex and Ansleigh and afterparty chez Adam.

Dinner was great, 20 people in the flat, and a variable plethora of southern/californan thanksgiving cuisine. Turkey was substituted by chicken.

Little clementines filled with sweet potato mash with a marshmallow hat, skin on mash, apple and celery stuffing, corn bread, garlic sautéed green beans, pumpkin pie, chocolate souflé cake and of course, what American meal would be complete without Apple Pie? That and lots of butter, of course.

It was all delicious, and well appreciated by the gang, many of whom I had sadly forgotten about. It was reassuring to speak to so many people though, many of whom have had similar experiences and issues, but everyone seemed to be happy. This past weekend really felt like a turning point.

Party afterwards at Adam's. Some were far gone. Enough said. Sunday spent recovering and cleaning the flat.

Work has been fun of course, too. Had Monday off and have had a few good classes since then. Feeling more settled at my 2nd school, Renoir, too after having met folk and finding some of the basics I should have a long time ago. Last night we went for dinner to an indian for Anais' birthday.

This weekend beckons with promise of a trip to the alps. Saturday morning we leave for few days in a chalet near Grenoble for winter fun in the snow. I can't wait!

The big news, this week, was Disney news. Last night I got an e-mail saying that "the Disney Recruiters are currently considering you for a role within the Walt Disney World Resort. However Disney cannot extend an offer to you at this time."

Crushed. More so because everyone else seemed to get a job. Needless to say I was more than a bit disappointed, despite my earlier promises that I wouldn't be.

But that was then, this is now. I was on a reserve list, and got an E-Mail this morning offering me a role in Merchandise starting the 25th of May.






well....... yeah. OK.
