Solitude


Originally Uploaded here by eyecatcher

Days off are very weird.

I wandered out into the sun to get a movie for tonight, and even though it took only about an hour, my body rebelled. It screamed Sun, heat, sun, heat, don't we ever get a break? You aren't working, crawl back into your cave, give your ruddy skin and body a moment's reprieve from this damnit. So, overcome by my mortal coil's desire for darkness and shade, I haven't left the house since.

It's bad for me. I'm not entirely up to human contact with most people, last night being a mostly-failed attempt. We watched some trite pop culture shows whose ingenuity and amusement value was at least evenly offset by the format's unspoken assessment about their target audience. I found myself laughing while watching them and then feeling sick afterwards. Hid in Jhayne's room and napped listening to Hieroglyphics instead after a while.

Also saw an episode of a culturally superior (I mean this) anime by the dubious title of Read or Die. I'm not sure if it would have been nearly as good without Jhayne and Ryan's running commentary. The amount of cultural references in that series is a bit maddening. I approve.

I've been playing a whole ton of Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. As such, my mind is awash with a surreal mash-up of the soundtrack from the game and Hieroglyphics beats. Very strange.

I think I will attempt heading out into the light again to buy some groceries. That will also bring 8pm closer, so that I can immerse myself in Korean cinema, then sleep, then work. Back into the grinder, where I want to be, where I need to be.


I still have something to write, I'm not sure how soon it will materialise though. The question is whether waiting or not is better, tempered by the uncertainty of whether I am actually capable of writing what I want to.
