today is the equinox. it is a point of time when there are equal length of day and night everywhere.
it was already late when i came about. the time on the clock reads 9:30, which means i didn't make my previous commitment to make it on time or early to the office. oh well, i'm just gonna have to settle for a compromise.
in spite of rushing to get myself fixed up, i decided to take my time. besides, i was intending to get a little preview of the dvd i bought the other day, david lynch's mulholland drive. i've seen it before, just wanted to secure it into my personal collection. i went downstairs and inserted the disc into the dvd player and gave myself around 30 minutes to watch it. very good quality. though there were no chapter selections on the root menu.
10am. i was hoping to get moving by 11, so then i'll make it to the office before lunch, and through this i was hoping to make up for my almost a week of arriving in the middle of the day. shit. gotta get moving. take a bath. eat some breakfast. prepare some sandwich that i'll bring to the office so i don't have to buy at 7-11 or mister donut. guess i'll make two since i remember the loaf will expire on the 24th.
got my ride on time. coasting along shaw blvd. i came across a group of "dressed up" office yuppie types conversing and making a racket of dishing out hysterics. some of the people here are laughing uncontrollably while others are simply smiling in half jest. with the funny look in their faces. the kind of look you tend to emanate when you pretend to be so into what everyone's talking about when you're really wishing you're just alone in your room staring at the ceiling listening to faint noises of early evening telenovelas. now i never want to be in these kind of situations. the kind when one tries of be a funny guy of the group and everyone around, who probably never met before and have only became aquainted after a few staple pleasantries, has got to laugh out. even if the said funny guy don't even have an idea on what he or she is talking about and is probably telling the lamest joke in the book. why do people have to be forced to laugh to stupid horseshit. what kind of sick social maniac would come up with something like that and even consider it as a polite social gesture?
today is the equinox. it is a point of time when the sun crosses the equator and day and night are everywhere of equal length(1). this occurs twice each year with the first one being around march 21 and the other, september 23.
