Yay, more catching up with people
So, I can't sleep. It just seems to be a truth.
This morning,![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
georgejas and her dad and [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] came into Philly and I took them to Jim's Steaks and we got cheesesteaks for lunch! Yay. George and Chris were stopping in town on their way to take a train up north, and were nice enough to spend an hour with me :) Also, cheesesteaks.
I napped a bit in the afternoon due to no sleepiness.
ag5j called me and picked me up and we went out to Merion. I had a huge flashback being back in Aiton's basement, where he tried to make his Atari 2600 actually work, which failed. So weird being back in all these places lately.
We went over to Chuckie's house and watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with her and her brother Joe. I hadn't seen it before, neither had Chuckie (oh yeah, apparently everyone EXCEPT us calls her by her real name these days, heh). I don't know if this is really the best time for me to be watching so many mindbending movies, but, I did enjoy this one, and of course, had to ponder whether I'd have the same thing done, given the opportunity. I think it would piss me off too much to mess with my memory, though it would certainly be nice not to have painful memories surface at inopportune times. It would be more useful if you could just suppress them for a specific amount of time... either way, I don't think this sort of procedure could really ever happen, given that there's simply no way to get all people involved to not mention the erased person, and of course now there'd be the conflict of extricating them from your online presence...
And, either way, it was really interesting to see Chuckie again, I can't remember the last time I saw her (though I could certainly look it up). She's been a farmer for the last few years! It sounds really neat.
I have to say, it was really good to get a chance to talk to Aiton for a while. If nothing else it gave me some great perspective on how all of us have changed and not changed.
When I got home I went downstairs to the gym and did some lifting weights and some treadmill. Unfortunately I think I did a poor job of warming up, or something, and ended up getting not only totally dizzy after running for a couple of minutes, but also had my sinuses explode, so it was hard to breathe. I had to quit and come back upstairs. Oops. I'm not very good at running, but I'm trying to stretch it into a longer time rather than always walking.
On another note -- my dad ordered me an iPod Nano today, after I joked about him buying me one the other day. I guess I'm finally joining the revolution after all.
Oh, and I bought myself a ticket to see Wicked this coming Sunday, (note: even if broadway.com says it's sold out, Ticketmaster may disagree), so I am heading back to NYC this weekend for sure. Yay. Seize the duck and all that.
