Bike!
I’ve got a new bike. An old, pre-WWII, Jaguar-green, English, iron bike. It’s fantastic. It’s heavy. It’s like a tank. My expectations as to its indestructability have already risen to near mythical heights.

Josh!
Saw Josh again yesterday after – what? – four years? It was really good seeing him again. We spent most of the evening raking up the past and catching up. Hopefully, now that we’ve got that out of the way, we’ll be writing some history in the coming few days instead of living it through reminiscence.

Eva and Frank’s House
Josh is staying at Eva and Frank’s, and yesterday we had some dinner and drinks there. Their house is so fantastic. Wait. Let me rephrase that; their living room is so fantastic. I feel so completely comfortable there. It’s so perfect. It would be even more perfect if they could get a different television, but it’s utterly perfect to my tastes. It’s not that their choice in colours is good (though it is) or that their furniture appeals to me (though it does), but it’s just a complete lack of anything but the necessities.

I’m a minimalist at heart, and I actually get physically uncomfortable when I’m around a lot of stuff. Sadly, I live with a woman who doesn’t share my minimalistic vision, and though I wouldn’t want to trade her in for anyone else, I can’t wait for the day where I can get my hands on a good book on how to subliminally implant suggestions into a sleeping person’s head. :)
