Last night I went over to Trevor's. I 0wned at Soldat and he pretty much whipped me in Virtua Fighter 4, so we both felt pretty good about our skillz. We also watched Equilibrium, an unremarkable movie if one should ignore the action scenes, which were, I can say with some certainty, the coolest I have ever seen in a movie. Somehow, while the sun rose, we ended up playing Virtua Fighter again after a very long conversation. We went to bed eventually, and slept in very late.
I do this thing, it seems, where I break out in a continuous cold sweat the day after I stay up way too late. I don't actually get that sweaty, but I feel very stuffy, very heavy-lidded, and very chilled. There are no headaches involved, though, for which I'm grateful. That happened today on the way home, in early-mid-afternoon, but it passed after showering and getting some breakfast down (breakfast was at about 4 in the afternoon).
Anyway, Hannah had a one-day respite from ASP today. She's been there for a week, and is leaving tomorrow for another week. Keep in mind that she is the only one at her church who is staying for both weeks, and her lack of good sense will be evident in short order. At least she means well. ...Well, probably. Actually, in all likelihood, it is all a part of some large and unfathomably evil plot, and many small innocent animals, erstwhile residents of the Kentucky forests, lie as heaps of ash, victims of certain radiative powers.
The other elements of DSFBC arrived at her house today by various means and spent a couple hours in that vicinity. It was good to have the group whole again, but, as we painstakingly established, every single one of us was sleep-deprived, so energy, other than that of the last-burst-before-dropping-dead variety, was not in abundance.
I biked there and back; on the way back, I noticed that honeysuckle was still blooming. As I stopped to have some, I noticed just how amazing the sunset was, with the evening rainclouds blowing out. Sunsets after a rain are always the most beautiful, it seems. From my bedroom window, which faces west, I could see the perfect shades of orange and pink on the forest pseudo-horizon, as well as the dappled gray clouds against the darkening blue sky overhead.
