I have let this weekend's work slide for far too long, and soon I will be paying for it dearly. However, I will start it off with another entry.
Yesterday, I went with another friend of mine and he took me exploring parts of Pittsburgh that are very popular, but that I'd never gone to. Why? Because 1) I don't have the time to sit on the bus for an hour, and 2) the intense paranoia I feel when I am far far off campus that I'll be stranded or something. Fortunately, my friend has a car, so we went to the Strip district where all the open markets are and I tried stuffed grape leaves (yum) and had a portabello mushroom sandwich for lunch (yum). O and there was a stand that sold fudge, all sorts of fudge! I got a chunk of blueberry cheesecake fudge and wow was that enjoyable. I can't wait for next semester when there will be a kitchen. The groceries there are super fresh and inexpensive. And there was a pottery shop there with pretty mugs and bowls - expensive ones but pretty nonetheless.
And then we went to the waterfront and visited Barnes and Nobles and then watched Hidalgo which was a pretty good movie. I got him to buy a copy of "The Magic of Recluce" by Modesitt - which I get everyone who's interested in my kind of fantasy novels to buy.
So this added with the fun fun Friday evening just put me into a wonderful mood and I decided I just to procrastinate some more when I got back on campus, and thus I visited my dungeon friends. I think they thought I was a little crazy because I was in such a good mood. Then I went with some of them to the MTC and watched Red Dragon which I thought was a good movie as well - a little disgusting, though. I'm glad neither of the movies I watched yesterday made me sad, but I saw a preview in the theater that looked like it will - namely Troy. Thinking about fallen ancient cities, an end of an era, it's just sad.
In any case, I'm off to a big day of work.
