Our Hearts of Stone
Man, this weekend has been pretty awesome. It’s the first in a long time where I’ve been able to just chill out, with not a great deal of pressure to do things. Friday I went to Tom’s, where we had a ‘man’ afternoon with other Steve, playing Xbox and drinking beer. While Tom was making his computer, Steve and I were playing this Sonic tennis game which Tom had got for $9 and never played, and we got really good at it, and then Tom came back and kept losing, so then he didn’t want to play any more and threatened to play it a lot from now on so he can beat us next time. He wishes.
One of the reasons this was so good, though, is that it seems that lately all our time spent together (normal Steve included now) is work time, and it’s not so fun as it used to be! Hopefully the holidays can provide lots of fun and chillin’.
Yesterday was so lazy and nice, although I played a little too much Assassin’s Creed II in the afternoon (finished it!). I did go out, though, and had three nice encounters with random people. One of them I can’t remember, but I remember there was three. The first one was an old lady who probably should not have been going to the shops by herself, but I guess that’s her thing, and the second was some other person going to the Carols in Vic park.
Speaking of Vic park, I went there again today, just because it’s nice to get out of my apartment every now and then, even though I often wish I could just go to my (non-existent) backyard instead of a public park. Still, Vic park is nice, and I talked to the birds a little more and read my book and ate lunch. My book is really fascinating, actually. It’s The Outsider by Albert Camus, and it was a gift from Alex for my birthday. She apparently has excellent taste in books. It’s a strange read, though. I wouldn’t say I’m enjoying the story, per se, but I’m definitely enjoying the read, and it’s interesting to think about.
Now I’m just listening to records, and I did some work earlier. Successfully, even. I am the bug master! The master of finding and fixing bugs, that is, not making them. I also make them sometimes, but I would hope that I am not a master of that. Or at least I hope (think) I’m more of a master at finding and fixing them, which I did today. Yup yup.
