today was a day of reminiscing.
had fitnesse cereal for breakfast like in december holidays, weighed myself and for the past week i’ve managed to stay more or less constant at 51kg instead of 52kg. which is good, i guess. maybe i’ll start working my way down to 50 again.
met grace at mos in shaw. i forgot what we went there for the last time. but i tried some weird octopus thingum rice burger cause it was new on the menu, and it was actually quite nice.
went down to borders then kino, but i still couldn’t find the book i wanted. queues at kino convinced me that today was not to be the day i buy “p.s i love you”, but i do need to go on a book rampage. just briefly scanning through dark matter (which examines phillip pullman’s His Dark Materials) and other related books held me up at least half an hour in kino, because it was so intriguing.
i actually like reading, but it’s one of my better habits that i’ve lost.
then walked down in the drizzle to centrepoint, to check out harvey norman for some stuff. i literally grew up hanging around centrepoint, so it’s quite alarming to go back there 7 years later and find that everything’s changed. like times has changed it’s layout, and the store has decreased in size. they’ve got the disney files i’m a total sucker for though. the basement’s quite the same though, although macs and cold storage have changed their layout.
i think i grew up very privileged and blessed, and everyone expected alot out of me, be it voiced or unvoiced. and maybe i’ve let some of them down, and lived some of them up. but at least i didn’t crash, and i haven’t completely burnt out yet.
i think i like walking around with just my music by my side; an afternoon of busted, blink 182, ben folds 5 and creed was absolutely serene.
and now that i’m back home, it’s time to get back to the pre-trip preparations.
