a better weekend than most
Despite the incredibly oppressive humidity yesterday (my glasses and even my iPod were steaming up when I was walking out of air-conditioned buildings and getting back into the car) I managed to have a good time with friends.
We wandered around an unnecessarily large shopping center for several hours and didn’t really purchase anything, had some lunch, walked around more, and then met up with another friend of mine for coffee/gelato and conversation (which was probably responsible for keeping our half of the café empty).
Since the night was still young, I ended up watching the newest David Lynch, “Inland Empire” with my friend - my Polish language skills came in handy a bit, though it didn’t make the movie any clearer. Apparently, it gels a bit more upon a second viewing and the pieces start to fall into place - so I’ll have to set aside another three hours for that in the future.
It was somewhat comforting that I wasn’t completely lost; but it follows very much in the Mulholland Drive vein, so I had some sense of what I was going to be getting. A sense - no idea.
I got home at about 2:30 in the morning and fell asleep about an hour later, and still I awoke at 7:20. My body is just not digging the sleep. It will hit me tomorrow, so I need to get some sleep tonight or else I’ll be crying on the train, feeling all exhausted.
