The Sands of Time, for me, are Running Low

Well, it's about 48 hours until John's gone from Waterloo for four and a half months, and probably about 72 hours until I can say the same for myself. Time is really winding down here. Adrian's room is pretty well packed up, it was weird to see it so bare.

Tuna salad and gingerale don't go well together. The fizz just fizzles when it hits fresh mayo. It seems to go rather well with Mr. Big bars though.

I've neglected reading Alice's adventures in Wonderland lately. I guess it's a combination of the website, the video games, and the studying that tend to eat up all my time. It's quite the messed up book. I really have no idea how Disney managed to make a coherent movie out of it, it really has no plot or flow. Alice has no backstory whatsoever, other than the fact that she has a cat and a few dumb friends. Still, it's interesting enough to keep reading. At least then I can say I read a book recreationally.

Well, I kinda feel like playing Scrabble again. I remember it was quite fun the day we brought the board to Seattle's, and played upstairs. That was the first (and likely last) time I ever unloaded all seven tiles (mind you it turns out I didn't even spell the word correctly, but no one challenged).

I really don't know what I'm going to do when I get home. I'll be bored soon enough I guess. There's really not much to do, but sometimes doing nothing with someone is great. I plan on going to Walmart or Future Shop right when I get home and buying Kill Bill Vol.1. Aside from Once Upon a Time in Mexico (UGH), it'll be the first movie I buy new from a retail place...unless we're counting my two Beast Wars boxsets, which I suppose we should. Well regardless, the point I'm trying to make is that there aren't many movies that I decide to buy brand new.

Coming back from my tangent, I don't know what else I could possibly to at home. I'm hoping to dust off the bicycle and using that at least once or twice, on a nice day before it gets too hot. I'm sure many a creature have made a home in the recesses of my bike. I guess I'll hit up the mall a few times, maybe the golf dome and....OH RIGHT! I've gotta go golfing this summer! Well, not GOTTA, but it's something I'm sure I'll wind up doing. Even though I tend to hate the game and the experience, once I realize I'm just there for spending time with my buddies and some sun and exercise, then I'll start enjoying it.

Is it cheating when I switch tracks just before ending my post so I can advertise a certain song? Well whatever, I highly recommend Blindside's "About a Burning Fire" to anyone who enjoys emotional vocals, interesting rhythms, and melodic guitar chords.

Listening to... Blindside - Eye of the Storm
Link of the moment... Blindside
