Hyperballad
I love this song. It reminds me of waking up early in Fiji, around sunrise before anyone else and creeping outside to enjoy the sea breeze. I was finishing Atlas Shrugged at the time, and later the Stars my Destination. I would then creep back into bed and no one would be the wiser, and later I would fall asleep on the beach while the minimal wait-staff would bring us reasonably priced cocktails.
Tonite was supposed to be dedicated to catching up with Mr. Noah W. But I took my impromptu 4 hour feverish nap as a sign that sharing stories over a few beers might be a bad idea.
So here I sit, polished off a chicken soup and working on a green tea. Reading the internet. Chillin. Listening to Bjork. Thinking about Europe and Journals and Ambition. I'm suprised at how energetic and studious I was this semester. While I am happy to be soon starting a vacation, this semester is different in that I haven't spent the last weeks thinking "when will this end" and collapsing.
I am also passing up on a fun night of "getting hit on by Margarhita's friends". Which as my Readership can imagine, is fine by me these days. One of the girls that a particular housemate is dating decided that it might be fun to set her friends up with his, decided that Blakes was a nice place to do this.
Next time I am in europe, instead of keeping a journal in a book or online, I am going to keep it entirely on interesting scraps of paper that I find in my travels. With Stick Figure Reinactments of interesting events and such. I used to make those in my journals, but that doesn't fly so well on livejournal. Hmm. Maybe I'll find a way to work it in.
Another thought. Last year my computer was a high source of stress. It was a constant distraction and kept me from getting work done and therefore from seeing friends and having fun non-math experiences. This year is a little better. A lot better actually. I now associate my computer mostly with work and productivity - sitting down at it tends to put me in a working mood instead of a slacking mood.
Ohh, I just re-read two posts ago. When I get hungry again I think I am going to go get a Hot and Sour Soup from King Dong.
I am having a blast with the OMD. I'm really crazy about this girl. Last night I met her cohort at Triple Rock, and her Italian friend asked me about Cantor and infinities. Later we watched Sex and the City and fell asleep in each other's arms.
