Today marks the first time I have seen any sunlight since Monday.
My right headphone speaker has blown out -- so no music today.
The past couple of days I read the first 2 volumes of Simon Dark. It was a decent read. There was certainly a "Matrix"-style Architect scene ripoff, but it was interesting to have a Gotham-based story with only a one-line reference to Batman and Gordon. I'm pretty sure I bought these for 2 or 3 bucks apiece @ the store near the office. Today I read an essay/article in my Philosopher's Magazine about how we can derive truth from fiction and how we interpret it. I understand enough of it and plan to hit up another passage on the way home.
Stopped off at Borders (this is the penultimate day) and bought a birthday card and The Bridge Of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder. Grand total I paid $1.75.
I'm relatively groggy today -- I only had time for a class of OJ at home and took a Cliff Bar for the train ride so at least I have some calories in me. This is one of the more severe cases of oversleeping I have had in a while and it's due largely in part to the two or three storms that hit us last nite.
Nothing interesting happening on the road today save for an ambulance that needed a police escort starting near Chinatown that lasted almost the entire southbound ride. There's also a tall white man on the walker's path next to the river at 10th St. who appears to be practicing tai chi. He looks like a suit -- extremely atypical.
Approaching Chambers St., the Freedom Tower looks as if it's so tall that you cannot see above a certain (finished) point, but then you get closer and you notice that a low cloud is there obstructing your view.
Thank you for reading.
