An impulsive buy on a well-priced soccer ball yesterday resulted in wearing the entire dorky soccer get-up (cleats included) and playing a little two on two today. That was so much fun! I definitely need to get into the habit of running around and making my heart rate increase a little more than what is normal for me now, which is almost nothing.
Then, sweaty and all we ventured to Target, where I once again did some more impulsive buying. God Damn the smog influence of consumption instilled in me! I'm so certain I can elude it though, in most cases. It's really a matter of realization.
So I'm leaning more towards Sevilla now than Cadiz. They're both about the same distance away from home, Sevilla is sometimes a little more costly, not by much. Sevilla does offer the courses I need though. It also has so many more options and its a bigger city. But I'm stuck on Cadiz and I'm thinking its because I've been there so I know what to expect, I know trips can be made there and back easily from Rota. BUT! I have been doing some very extensive research (late nights, very late nights) and I have found several programs that would offer me a cheaper stay in Sevilla than in Cadiz (that only program I've found) and it includes the same things. I think the choice is obvious... I'm still heading up to UF tomorrow to learn more and help Elizabeth do stuff or something and then go partying/dancing or something of that nature.
I seriously need to stop compulsively buying, I need to save.
I think I got caught in a lie today too. lol.
Fayyad posted on his myspace a very interesting video of George Galloway speaking about the war in Lebanon (that's all I'll give away). it's very interesting though and I encourage people to see it, research a little, and form an opinion, but not directly from his interview look at other sources of media too. He's (Fayyad) on my top 8 and its directly on his profile, one of the first things you'll see. Everyone has myspace nowadays right?
P.S. I am very excited about a new movie coming out called The Science of Sleep featuring one of my favorite actors, Gael Garcia Bernal. and I can promise I'm not excited because his goregous face is starring in it and he's speaking English, but because its going to be a romantic/existential film by the same director as Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind and I want to say I <3 Huckabees too. so I'm hoping for good things! oh lord.
This past weekend, again, yet another impulsive buy, I bought two journals. As if I didnt already have a huge one not even a third of the way filled. Not only that, but I have resorted to typing up my thoughts now and printing them out to paste in my journal because the labor of writing and the time elapsed discourages me from jotting in my journal. I'm excited though because I figured I can keep one in my car for those spur of the moment thoughts that I absolutely have to record and another one (and I swore myself) would be for my experiences away. Because while I was gone, this recent visit and the one prior, twice, I told myself I would record my thoughts everyday and never did and now I'm regretting not doing so. So much growth always happens when I go away. I think its the whole being pulled out of situations and seeing them in a new and more clear perspective. so this time around, its a definite and I have a journal for it.
alright well, I'm off to bed. I've broken my 8ish a.m. rise twice this week and this morning I definitely over did it. I'm hoping not to break this great new habit of starting my days early. Good day.
p.s. nomy I forgot tell you. I saw Linda Marie at Target and she sends her regards. she mentioned wanting to do lunch this week so you should give her a call.
