~ making the sign of the noose ~
I had a glorious weekend. On Saturday, the sun was out and the temperature was of a higher degree than it has been in a while. Josh and I took advantage of the pleasantness outside to go on a bike ride in our matching amsterdams. If memory serves, the internet is not yet aware that Josh purchased an Electra Amsterdam shortly after I purchased mine. Copy cat. His is a red men's sport version which he has named Red Riding Hood. I must say, we are pretty much the gaggiest couple in town, toodling around on our matching cruisers, whistling, smiling from ear to ear, and singing songs about joy and happiness. Barf! So anyway, after mounting our cruisers, we went on a small tour of some parks, riding through the grass and chasing after ducks, and then rode up to the Bench and toured the neighborhoods between Vista and the Train Depot. It was a lot of fun and we discovered an area of town in which I could envision myself living in the future. At some point, we encountered a house that was for sale that was open for viewing. Josh and I then pretended to be prospective home buyers and toured the residence. We then located another house that we toured and I found it pretty exciting.
When I arrived home after our adventure, I felt myself feeling overjoyed and thrilled. I suspect that having spent a good amount of time in the sunshine helped my mood a great deal.
In other news, being a student again is agreeing with me. Additionally, because my program is related to my professional development, as opposed to my nebulous-seeming BA, I feel a greater sense of motivation and purpose towards it. Which is nice. Also, I have found a balance of intellectual stimulation in it.
On Friday, Josh and I went to see Curse of the Golden Flower. While it was an amazing visual tour de force, I was disappointed by the number of overdramatized scenes and lack of rad fighting. I'm not someone who normally advocates for more fighting scenes, except for when they involve ninjas. Anyway...this movie could have used more ninjas.
