Switch, Witch, Moan, Groan and Similarities
Portland, Maine, looks pretty much like this. It looks a lot like Providence, Rhode Island - except its 3 hour from here.
The title just about sums up how I feel at the momment. My temp agency hasn't found me anything for this week yet - its Wednesday - and it's getting depressing. I would, however, prefer to be not-at-work rather than at my previous receptionist job at Marketing Gimmicks Gone Wild.
We went to Portland, Maine last weekend, it was nice-looking city. I wasn't impressed or anything, but it was nice to get away from the mundane wake up, work, eat, sleep routine for a long weekend - Labour Day weekend. We went to the Portland Museum of Art, which has an ok selection of art. I'm really into more contemporary types that have nothing to do with landscape or portraits of strangers. I like to be challenged by the artist and have to think about what they're trying to say, rather than looking at a sailboat on a placid body of water at sunset or a portrait of someone's neighbour and not having to think much at all. Out with realism and in with symbolism! I like abstract art, Cubism, Dadaism and Surrealism - none of that there. I did however find a nice gem in the gift shop - Frida Kahlo stickers.
On the way to Portland, right after crossing in to New Hampshire, we stopped at this place called New Hampshire State Liquor and Wine Outlet - it's basically a huge shop where they sell discounted liquor because the prices haven't got any sales tax included. The best item there was triple sec for $4, a very large bottle of triple sec might I add, which is the key ingredient to making a cosmopolitan martini taste fabulous - an ingredient that isn't easy on the pockets in Australia.
I wonder how many I can fit in my luggage?
