It's about 11 o'clock, but it will be later by the time this is written. The temporal offset between the declared time of writing in an introduction and the actual completion time of an essay bothers me. This is a bit neurotic on my part, I'm sure.
I'm sitting in bed recovering from last night's shenanigans, which were exceedingly mild by my historical standards. I drank too much tea and goofed about on the internets until four in the morning. Alas, what has become of me? Tea is good though.
I'm hungry. Very hungry, now that I come to think of it. My friends are going to breakfast, but I won't be joining them. Even starved as I am, I can't stomach the thought of stomaching such fare as iHop, Denny's, or Bob Evan's today. I'm thinking a home cooked scrambled egg or some soup would be nice.
My neighbors are working on their house again. They've been working on it every weekend for months. At first I chalked the slow progress up to the their being too busy to devote a lot of time to it. I later came to assume there is a fair bit of incompetence involved. At this point I've simply begun to resent it. I live in a row home.
I'd like to get out of the house and away from all the noise for a bit. Today might be a good day to go shooting. The sky is overcast, so I could test out my new 81B filter and compare the results to those of setting the white balance manually. Speaking of which, I best rustle up a white card.
I want a coffee, but the coffee shop I go to is always crowded on Sundays. I don't fit in with the crowd there too well either. They're always talking about shopping, home repair, and auto maintenance, which are topics I can feign interest in for only so long. Art, literature, and music are more my kind of thing.
I guess I could scout around for a different coffee shop to mill about in. A change of scenery would be nice. I'll probably have to go into the city to find any place truly suitable. I imagine that puts me at great risk of running into that girl. We often gravitate to the same kinds of places like that. I've decided not to be angry with her anymore, but I still don't want to talk to her.
I should straighten up this room and get some breakfast in me.
