This weekend was sort of a disappointment. I was in a pretty good mood going in, but it just got sort of messed up along the way. Not sure what happened, but I'm displeased by it. I think work is going to be exciting tomorrow though, so I'm looking forward to that. Might learn something very neat...but then again these things have a tendency to fall apart.
John and I got a new bed. It is pretty nice, but our "mattress" is too thin, so it makes the bed itself a little uncomfortable. Still nice though. Bitch to put together.
John's mom and bf visited last week. On Thursday the four of us all hung out together and we went to the Baltimore museum of art (which despite being free and on campus I had never been to, hah) and the aquarium (making this the 8000th time I've been to the aquarium since I moved here alone). The museum was pretty nice. I really like modern art and avant-garde (hyphen?) stuff and they had a really good selection of that. So I enjoyed that part. I didn't really like all the normal people paintings and stuff though. The aquarium was super great as always. I can never get tired of that place. Fish are awesome, but my favorite part is always the reptiles. I was disappointed though, I didn't get a chance to see their moray eel, and he is one of my favorite parts. It was nice seeing John's family too.
I've been eating a lot better recently (John too) and it has been really nice. It's so frustrating, when I get depressed I would just turn to junk food because you feel so helpless and desperate for anything to make you feel better, even if just for a second. And that's all it does (if that!). You feel terrible afterwards and it just makes you more depressed. It's just one of those cycles that is really hard to get out of. But I think we're out of it now. And it feels really nice.
I want to see Predators. Maybe if I have time this week John and I will go and see it. I'll just have to see how the week plays out I suppose.
I hate how some animals are worthy of compassion but others aren't. I don' even understand why things like animal cruelty laws can exist when there are so many animals that are openly treated like shit (I'm thinking cows, chickens, pigs etc...). Why are they just disposable but cats and dogs and other pets are just treated like they're on this whole other level. It's just stupid.
Also, maybe a little less serious...How on earth do people think that file sharing (torrents, napster etc. whatever else kids use nowadays) isn't stealing? It is stealing. You are stealing. If you think stealing is wrong (which I think the law does) then this is wrong. I don't really care, I love file sharing thingers because it is easy and free! But I openly acknowledge that it is happening in place of actually buying these things. Whatever. I just hate the high-and-mighty self-righteous attitude that people get about this shit.
