Christmas time, and the livin's easy

Well, it's Christmas here.
Not in Canada yet though. Just here.
It's kind of a shitty day. Rain, overcast. It certainly doesn't feel like Christmas.
No new job yet. Still managing to tolerate Anne simply for the money. Considering becoming professional poker player. And going to pick fruit.

Went out and celebrated Christmas Eve last night by hitting a few bars with live bands. Absolutely nowhere has decorations up. What a shitty Christmas. Oh well, I'm going over to Carol and Josh's for dinner and games and drinks. Should be a good time.

Otherwise, very little is new. Went to another market, went to the beach, moved permanently into new residence.

I don't feel comfortable here yet. I'm still homesick, though Josh (Toronto Josh) seems to think that homesickness is a strange reaction. This is my kindred spirit in Toronto, working on Christmas, miles from his family and friends.

You'll forgive us for being a little down at Christmas time.

Keep writing. I miss everyone lots, especially today.

Hey, guy ... so good to hear your voice with company around the table. This will certainly be a memorable Christmas for you, if nothing else. Glad you've come to some sort of terms with the Kat Bahloo work. It's always good to face up to a challenge and make the most of it. I know it's a drab time for you, especially with the weather not cooperating. But know we keep you warm and dry in our hearts. I am SO looking forward to March. did you know the smallest penguins in the world live on Kangaroo Island? Now you do ... LYMYVM (you can figure that out)

kindred spirits? I thought that was usually reserved for friends of Anne of Green Gables.
