Wars of the Last Wolves
Well, I have had a wonderful weekend, thankyou for asking. I've gotten a fair amount of sleep, and managed to spend quite a bit of it (Okay... pretty much all of it) with Liam. I also got to see all of Trigun, so much joy to be had there. Then when I was waiting at the bus stop, I realised how beautiful the city was. It was Sunday, so there was minimal pedestrian traffic, and the area is full of aged buildings, sort of a colonial feel in a way I suppose. The street is lined with what I think is a variety of Oak, which is currently loosing it's leaves. The sky was overcast, and the wind moved the leaves along the pavement. I watched it pick the leaves up and lift them into the air, twirling them around in a few tight circles as the wind got caught in a doorway. And I was struck by how wonderful the city could be when I wasn't afraid of the general populous. It reminded me of those shots you always see of New Nork in those police movies, when they're in the 'better parts' of the city, near the parks and the old buildings.
I also spotted that someone had quite industriously graphitied two roof-top billboard advertisements. Kudos to them for making the effort.
I got chips! Which also made my weekend that much yummier. They were a little under-salted, but I think that can be improved. Yay! ^_^
I was gonna do some more theorising, but I'm in too good a mood to ruin it by picking apart a situation or concept. So you get a retelling.
Ledi missed roleplaying today. I was the only person that showed up. Hence I left a little earlier. That was cool, but I felt sorry for Liam - the poor boy looked so tired. He's probably asleep right now.
Lauren and Zoe's birthday's are coming up this week (Thursday and Friday respectively), and since it's Lauren's 18th, we be havin' a party. Which should be interesting, given Lauren's friends. I wonder if she's made any Uni freinds... I know I've made aquaintances, but they're not exactly 'go out and have a drink with Erin' sort of people. But they cool, so it's all good. Anyway, better get back to my Multimedia work. But first... Behold!
