Reading still, switched back to the book on the 1100+ century book on the crusades in Europe. Made good progress, last time I tapered off but I'm back in there. Been out for the sole purpose of reading it.

The other day I went to the park to read up on Italian because I have a fleeting interest in it. I think the key to learning a new language is to think in Italian an not think in English. It's quite a pretty language, you can craft sentences with different words/sounds for different genders - almost like composing music. Kinda cool - have to wait and see if I get into it.

London has been a pleasure to be in, more so recently with all the sun. Lunch is out and about, either adventuring or lunching in my regular scenic spots. The other day, I discovered Temple, it's right off the Thames and is quite new to me and lot of cool places to hang out and read/eat or just relax. I do like my regular place though: watching Tower bridge from the river side.

A few days back I had lunch at the foot of an animated water fountain and it was real nice. I found myself thinking that there must be some circuitry somewhere controlling the pulses of and patterns behind the fountain's diffirent and ever changing forms. There surly must be and that's just a cool thought to me: things are just connected.

But right now, I'm off to the gym.

We had work drinks again last night. Someone was leaving. I have often wondered if there is a rule that leaving drinks are absolutely necessary. But anyway, I figured out that, I watch people that talk to me on these occasions and the next day all I remember is the faces and expressions - no idea what they were saying most of the time. I have noticed a few things : You know there is something pretty fascinating about seeing a face's expression saying something to you and then half way through realising a) they can't remember their point and b) they can't hear themselves speaking but assume your ears are way better than theirs anyway and can hear them perfectly anyway so they continue. Maybe I should pay more attention.

Decided to slick back my hair, and I'm growing a beard with it. It's totally new but I like it. Nice thing about doing stuff like this is you see yourself different than how you've seen yourself before...duh but its good/strange/new/unfamiliar. Might grow my hair even. Might not though. Might learn Italian. Might not. Might might might but may not.

Seen movies recently. There was Despicable Me 2, Monsters Inc 2 and R.E.D 2 all enjoyable and I realise I still haven't grown up. But that's ok.

Today is Thursday now, day before Friday. I like Thursdays.

I have wondered once

but then I stopped and went to bed.
