A little cuban coffee with Max and ChrisI am currently listeing to Two Tongues. A side project put together by Max Bemis and Chris Conley. Not bad...not too bad.Well my blogging is very infrequent. It's been over a year since mum died. Funny enough too I just got in touch with an old friend from Scotland. We taught together in Okinawa and got along fabulously. I remembered her mum had passed several years ago. Anyway we got chatting again and found out her mum passed at the age of 52 as well. Weird connection. And it always feels a little horrible when people who I haven't spoken to in a long time ask me how I am, how my family is and inevitably how's my mum (because she met and knew so many of my friends over the years). Then I tell them she died and things get a little awkward. ooops-sorry to bring death into the conversation! This Christmas was ridiculously hard because I was actually alert and aware. Last year, she passed on Dec. 7th-and I seriously don't remember anything about that month. I remember her dying, the funeral, and Christmas Eve. I don't remember working, I don't remember anything else at all. So this year I was acutely aware of all that surrounded me. The time of year, the snow, the smells, the absence. And I still get angry. I still have those piercing stabs of longing. Of wanting just to hang out, to call her, to go shopping, to have a beer, to watch Supernanny. All with her and now all by myself. But enough of that. I'm heading to Cuba on the 14th. Never been. Am addicted to Trip Advisor now as well, reading ALL of the reviews posted about the resort I'm going to. Seriously there are some messed up travellers out there. I admit I have acquired a level of travel snobbery having lived abroad for 4 years. But these reviews are over the top, with their over reactions. So I've noticed people like to give really bad reviews on a resort if the weather's bad. huh? "That resort freaking SUCKED....it rained 3 out of 7 days." A resort can suffer a bad review as well because of the other patrons. I can understand having a bad trip because of nasty weather or crappy, ignorant guests-but is that the resort's fault? hmmm...no. It should be interesting. My bf has never travelled and I have quite a bit. So I have a feeling I'll turn into the trip school marm "do this" "don't do that". etc. Should be a good laugh though. 9:21 AM - February 6, 2009 - post comment
