Today had an air of odd about itself today. Dunno what it was but I was perpetually occupied by what seemed like nothing. People came and people went, I went in and out of meetings, I wondered about at lunch time. People today just all sounded the same. I was reminded about it during my run tonight, just traffic passing by. Maybe it's the pain & the antibiotics? I'm sure that's probably what it is.
I had 2 quirky thoughts today. One; so if you're going to go to a restaurant and eat out, why can't you phone, book online your table, your number of people, the meal(or their meals), book a time and have the food ready to eat when you arrive! Sure, they can keep it warm in warm ovens. That way you get there, you're hungry, that's all you really care about and you can eat. I can't think of any single conversation I want to have, more interesting or more important than me and my food while being hungry. So, we strike that pre-eat stupid boring I-have-nothing-really-i-want-do-say-but-eat conversation and let the in-flight meal and post-flight meal conversation get all the attention. Cos, you want to go out abd chat but just nog before you eat. Well, me anyway, I guess. If I ran a restaurant, that's what I would do.
The other thought I had was not really quirky at all, it's more...I guess, normal.
Marriage is not taken nearly seriously enough as it should be.
My attention was drawn to a celebrity break-up today and then I suddenly remembered a scene from my childhood where me, my mom and dad where in the kitchen I don't know why that brings it home for me but it really struck home how long my parents have been married for, not only that but how balanced both my parents are towards each other. Never animosity, never jealousy, no funny business just mature, well rounded and almost fierce commitment to 'the cause' of marriage. Very responsible, grown up kind of commitment. I suppose what I do know now, being apart of that marriage during my upbringing, now reflecting back, is how much my parents respected each other. Sure, they loved each other but above everything, they respected each other and equally they must trust each other with the same commitment. They cared about each others opinion. They were sure about getting married.
The other thing is, marriage is a lock, i guess that sounds wierd, but it is, it's a commitment that you are willing to put up with, and make compromises to get what you get now. Because, what you get now, you'll get forever, till death do you part - unless you divorce obviously but that's cheating. You have to be so so sure about the power and potential control you're potentially giving up the other person and hoping that they have the same respect, commitment and love as you do, and then know for sure that what you have now, you always want from your relationship, quality of life, mind-set etc...
Hmm, bit random.
Besides those two earth-shatteringly, mind-blowing thoughts, I listened to Aerosmith all day: I have a special affinity for 'Crazy' and can play that track back million of times. That said, I funnily enough have 'Crazy' by Gnarls Barkley and 'Butterfly' by Crazy Town which I like also. All very crazy... see that, that there be a terrible, rehearsed pun which in hindsight was utterly deplorable. Quirky. Silly. Terrible : That's the general realisation trend for that pun attempt.
I woke up at 1am last night...for no reason whatsoever. I even got up, walked around, then wondered why the hell I was walking about and for what reason and then pretty much daintily fainted back to bed. This must have all happened in the space of 2 minutes. Odd. very slightly hugely majorly weirdly odd.
Yesterday, I bought The Legend Of Zelda for my DS and played it today between product testing. Wowee it's a cool game. Other exciting snippets of today include my mouse breaking, a power outage, a night-time run and yet again my hopelessly attempt to take holiday.
Oh I remembered my second quirky thought today. We should have heated toilet seats. However, I figure the risk, if you somehow get the electrics(because you have to have that right?) mixed up with water, one would experience awareness beyond most comprehension and this quickly outweighed my initial seemingly brilliant thought of a hot-bum-on-seat idea. Which, during winter would be ideal.
Started reading my Java book. Got through one chapter and passed out. That's about the size it. In fact, I'm going to do it again tonight, it's like a instant sleeping pill, one hit and your out.
