Split Shift - Split Focus

I am in the middle of a split shift today. I don't love splits. They sort of eat up your whole day. Today I had 2.5 hours in between, usually it's 1.5. I was going to stay at the restaraunt and try to eat something (not really hungry today - shocking, I know!) but my manager asked me if I was sticking around, which meant I would've had to start early again, so I quickly voted no. I will go back a little early and see if I want anything to eat.

I am finding a split focus is my life at the moment. One stream is work, bills, managing my time, money, friends and family. The other stream is art. I find my mind consumed with writing, plots, characters, school and film. It's nice for a person who loves variety to have two equally important things to focus on in life, but I think if I'm not careful, I may end up with a split personality.

Ah well, there are things that help me to balance the catwalk between the two....like Kareoke! Which is tonight. I love Kareoke, especially on Davie Street in Vancouver, it's definately an experience!

That's all for now. Maybe I should order some Split-Pea Soup (Gag me!)

Beach

Derek and I found the awesomest little beach a couple weeks ago. It takes us about 7 minutes to drive to, with free parking, and it seems that only a select few of the regular Vancouver beach-goers know about it. We went there today for about an hour and just basked in the sun, playing The Movie Game of course! It's nice that the beach no longer has to be an all day event, with hoards of downtown traffic and full, overpriced parking lots!

It was delightful to enjoy some early September sun together, now that Derek's time on set is over and I actually had a full day off - yay!!! Too bad it took us all summer to find this place.
