Random, Pre-Bedtime Thoughts

I just came back from a midnight hike up to the top of the hill at Palomar College (the one with the giant "p" stamped into the side of it.) Apart from being a great nighttime excursion, an excuse to waste a monday evening, and a bonding experience with some people I don't hang out with nearly enough, I've realized that I feel most at peace when I'm at these amazing, sweeping vistas, like the view from Berkeley, and the view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the nearby cliffs.

I suppose it either makes me feel really big, or really small, I can't tell which. But I guess I can just appreciate the world more. It's the first time I'd ever seen our city from such a perspective- not sure why I chose to write about this in particular, but it was a cool experience.

In other news, I had a molten chocolate cake from Chili's for the first time since November, and I couldn't get halfway through it before feeling like I wanted to die. I think this really does signal the beginning of a new era in my life.

Tomorrow I may or may not go in to work. I was suppose to go today I guess, but last night I ended up staying up until sunrise, and sleeping until 2 in this afternoon. Consequently, I probably won't be tired until much later tonight, and I'll end up missing work again. I'm not at all tired now, but hopefully I'll lay down and find that the hike will have worn me out enough to fall asleep anyway. I have to start undoing all the mayhem we caused from the Narnia promo. I also need a hair cut. Either tomorrow or Wednesday I'll get that done.

I traded in Warioware DS, Rayman DS, Bomberman DS and Harry Potter Wii at the game store today and bought Okami, which is a crazy game where you're a japanese sun goddess trapped in the body of a white wolf, and you have the ability to literally paint the landscape and alter your surroundings. So far it seems like a really trippy, surreal kind of game. If I don't go to work or get my hair cut this week, it'll probably be because of that.

Oh yeah, a story before I go. Myself, Vince, Jay and Casey were driving around in my car trying to figure out what to do (before we decided to hike,) when we saw a couple arguing with each other outside the theater. We decided to turn around and make loops around that general area of the parking lot, blasting "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?" and "A Whole New World" with the car windows down and me and Vince belting the lyrics. I'd like to think that if they made up, it was because of our mood setting efforts.
