watching tea brew

[intjonathan]

Today was... forgettable. In fact I have no memory of most of it. I do remember reading a very long thread about movies in GBS then playing some doom 3 with the shades drawn. I made a grilled tuna sandwhich for lunch that was really good. I danced, listened to Diana Krall. Had raspberry tea that was too strong and too cold.
The only things I did and cared about doing were walking the arboretum and watching Lost in Translation again. I've never walked the high path to the top of the atrium, and I got really sick of sitting, so I decided on a whim to hike it up. It was wonderfully unfamiliar. Today was absolutely gorgeous and I'm not usually in the atrium's high places in the sunlight. The smells, heat, and moist air brought back some very good camping memories. Something about forests and childhood. It all went swimmingly until I came back around to the path I walk home from work. I know that path inch by inch and have walked it with a very heavy heart lately. I was surprised to find the association so strong. I nearly wanted to turn around. But I knew I'd just be back there Monday morning and I need to snap out of it.
I hadn't seen Lost in a while and was pleasantly surprised to find it every bit as good as I remembered. I'll be the last to defend it on believability or character depth, but the film takes so much care in setting its mood that you can't help but go along. There's gotta be some heavy shit floating under my consciousness to have me watching both Solaris and this in the last two days. But I guess I'm at a loss at what else to do. It's strange to me, I'm pretty good at not being depressed, especially on holiday in the summer. But all too much I just find myself staring and not seeing, pausing but not anticipating, thinking but not concluding.

I almost can't wait to go back to work.

My favorite path on the arboretum is walking the trail just past the tower and the trail that goes downhill to the left (past a big cement drain-type thing) it ends up right behind Old Main and that building you work in. It so beautiful to walk down and gives an ass kicking work-out on the way back up. And is Lost reall that good? every customer I've rented it to has said it completely sucked, or that they didn't get it or something. just wondering

Grilled tuna sandwiches are amazing. Theyre almost as good as egg salad sandwiches, or a good deli sandwich, but are less work to prepare.

This forgettable post has been an inspiration. Tomorrow will be Sandwich Day.

I wouldn't call it a Great Movie, but I love it to death. It certainly has its critics. I take it you haven't seen it? Something should be done about that.

Here's hoping you have so many other fun things to do today the sandwich becomes just another fun thing.

egg salad sanwiches are possibly the greatest food on earth (second only to doughnuts and mexican food) what time is lunch? ;)

:( If I had a dollar for every time I've been told "I can't believe you haven't seen this movie" I'd be rich enough to call in sick to work and rent them all. :D

I would really rather just have the sandwiches. If that is ok with you.

I am appalled that you would mention donuts in the same sentence as mexican food and egg salad sandwiches. 0_o

Lunch is usually around 4pm. Is this important?
