No, these three things have nothing to do with each other except for the fact that I have something to say about them.
Let’s start with the mayonnaise because this is the quickest. Just wanted to let you know that last time I went shopping at Organik, I saw that they stock vegan mayonnaise, Ranch and Caesar dressing now. I very seldom bought mayonnaise before and I definitely don’t need it here but I still think it’s nice to see vegan products around.
I’ve got a bit more to say about Christmas. Everybody who knows me probably knows that I really hate Christmas. And I don’t know why (actually I do, because I felt I have to do my share at school) but I volunteered to help organise the Christmas party. It’s not a staff party but just a get together for the parents and actually the whole German community; we expect around 500 people (you have to keep in mind that we are a tiny school so 500 people really are a lot). Fortunately there wasn’t that much to organise but my part was helping with the decoration. Fortunately again, when it came to decorating yesterday, there was still some other stuff to do so I said I can do that instead. But when I had finished I did go out to help with the last bits and it was horrible. All these pine branches (fake of course), decorated in garlands and other plastic shit, candles all over the place and people who found a place for really every single thing from the 5 million boxes full of Christmas stuff. And I have to go back there today, be there for a couple of hours, talk to people I don’t want to talk to on my day off and stare at Christmas trees, lights, presents, jingle bells, candles, snowflakes, reindeers and what not. Have a nice weekend!
Ok, enough of me ranting. Now about something more interesting: the Sons of Anarchy. I’m usually not a big fan of TV but every now and then there is a series that really captivates me. I’m actually glad that I nevertheless need more time to like things that everybody else seemed to be liking for the past years already. This way, I can binge watch. I did the same with Breaking Bad and at the end of nearly every episode I was glad that I just had to press play again instead of waiting another week or, at the end of the season, another year till I could watch the next episode. With Sons of Anarchy, my timing is even better. I was sick last week and stayed in bed the whole time so I actually watched the first five seasons in one week! This week I watched season 6 and tomorrow I’ll start season 7. That gives me enough time to get to episode 12 by Wednesday when it’s time for the big finale.
Over the last two weeks, I loved and hated Jax, I wanted to be part of the club and then again was glad I’m just watching a TV series. But one thing never changed: my dreams. Nearly every night I had some dreams about the Sons of Anarchy. Sometimes it was like I’m still just watching it on TV but being my own director, other times I was a part of it and in the middle of everything. I love binge watching but I have to admit that I’m glad it’ll be over soon and I can go back to my normal life. 🙂
