Reading (For Dummies)

An Intorvert's Weekend

My mum and Jack came into town for a visit, and to go to a wedding. Unfortunately it rained most of the time Thursday/Friday, so not much getting outside. That, and I'm avoiding buying anything but food, so it amounted to a very lazy couple of days.

I watched Donnie Darko on Saturday, after a bit of a bike ride. It's very bizarre. I might describe it as American Beauty meets Owl Creek Bridge. I could provide further analysis but it is one of those sorts of movies that questions...well, I'll stop myself from rambling.

I went out to my new coffeehouse on Saturday night. I sat around and finished one of my books, sipping chai and listening to a large group talk about plans to visit Italy. They wanted Euro coins. They wanted to know what to do with their luggage once they got there. I suppose I could have told them all about these things, but I was happier with listening. Yes, it's been an introverted weekend. On the plus side, the Coffee Pavillion is a pretty smoke-free less crowded place, and the people there seem to be happy having some weird-looking bookworm living in the corner. So I'll probably make a usual thing out of it.

Sunday was bike riding, bike riding, bike riding. I made it down to Fabius and back by way of Apulia Road and route 91 (round trip somewhere around 50 miles). Not bad for 3 hours on a mountain bike. It made my heart feel good, and released some endorphines which act in opposition to whatever hormones your body releases when you wander back to the, "Am I alive?" question.

Anyway enough existential crises for one night. I'm going to bed.
