It's like that. THIS IS LONG. So many nicknames.

You know when you spend a long time with people that you could spend a lot more time with because you're so comfortable with them and they make you so happy and having to leave them doesn't even make you sad because you just enjoyed yourself so much doing so little that nothing can make you unhappy at this point in time - not even paratactic sentences - because you're just so content with the fact that you have people like that?

I just had a day like that.
In fact I had an amazing day.

Now you have to both care and read.

Firstly I had physics tutor. I love physics. I love science. I think science is the ultimate beauty.
Peopel always say to me that they think it takes the magic out of everything, in that once ever process and phenomenon has an explanation it becomes less fascinating.I think it's the opposite. I think that there's an amazing magic in knowing how things work and that everything works. The beauty is in seeing the world in a different light because you have that extra knowledge.Physics is my way of accessing what I've always wondered about. Or things I didn't wonder about but now wonder why I never wondered.

After that I went to eat. My lunch cost me $3.50. 1.5 L of water, a huge banana and an extremely crisp apple.As I was eating my fruit, I noticed that there was a crowd under the clocks at Melbourne Central so of course I went to check out what all the fuss was about.

Then the best thing EVER happened.
The Rubik's.

Cube.

National.


Championships.

Were.

Being.

Held.


There are so many levels of awesome to this, I don't know where to begin so I don't think I will.
But summarised: geeks, people-watching, Rubik's cubes, albino child genius, blindfolds.

Not blindfolds in that way.


So I studied a bit, saw Calin (the French word, not the name) at the library and it was brief but excellent (all encounters with him are excellent).

After studying in the super quiet room at the state library which also happens to be very very beautiful, I went to Uke's house.
Studied some more physics while Uke and Bass jammed. It was awesome, just sitting and listening and laughing at all the stupid stuff we say, the boys' guitar faces and all the awesome effects we could find.
Could have spent hours just talking and listening to those two.

We acquired Uke's little sister and walked down to the Ivanhoe shops and ate really good chips and souvlaki. I picked out the onion and tomato and the boys ate it for me. 'Twas a beautiful transaction.

So we went back to the house, mucked around a little more, Uke's mum showed me all of his baby photos and was hilarious. She thinks I'm extremely studious and responsible. Heh. Also, his house has a mandolin, several flutes, guitars, ukeleles, amps, pedals ... just a lot of music stuff. It's great. It's been a long time since I've had friends who love music so much.

So yes. It sounds simple but I just had one of the best days I can remember.
There was no agenda. We just sat in a room.



I think I should just sit in a room more often. Maybe a room like that.


FINI.
