A Great Weekend

I am writing this to commemorate a rather memorable and fulfilling weekend. Ordinarily, a weekend would be fairly routine, like going out to a movie, heading home and then having a gaming session into the wee hours before waking in the evening. That's usual and can get quite trite. This weekend was hardly like that.

10am wake. That's unusual in my weekend, because I'm a conscientious morning denier. So I pick up my camera from the repair shop and post some stuff. Sadly, these kinds of places close stupid early on the weekend, so I get roasted at midday. Then I have lunch and head home to nap till the evening.

Wake for dinner. Friend asks me out to watch Cloud Atlas at 11pm. This is fairly unusual since most of the time I get movies before that, but I don't turn down stuff at night. I watch it till 2am with my friend, then we stick around to chat till around 4am. It's funny that during that conversation there was a street procession with lots of shouting and cheering as people went to their temple festival, and that was delightful. It reminded me of the night festival I really liked last year. After that I get sent home.

I especially liked the conversation, considering that it's less than mundane. Frankly I'm rather bored by all the mundane conversations I keep getting. It's like I pretend to be engaged and can hold small talk as long as it takes, but frankly I gain little to nothing from that and go back feeling emptier than when I started off. It didn't happen this time.

After I got home I was doing some stuff on the computer and prepping for bed, then my parents wake and want to go to exercise. So I hump my kali sticks and go for a nice hour long stick swinging session. Tired, we head to breakfast and I pass out till the evening.

Overall this has been quite the fulfilling weekend. I may be a night critter, but staying up alone isn't necessarily fulfilling. I must have milestones and noteworthy moments to work with. Sitting at home playing games into the dawn is hardly that. Still, I am quite happy to have had this session, though I do wonder how I might get my weekends livelier.
