several summers ago, when i fell in love with watermelons, i vowed to never try carrying one home from the grocery store ever again. in spite of that, i tried several more times, until i came to accept that it was too much for me. i made a little compromise today. i took a super long bike ride (in the rain unfortunately, but it was ok) with my knapsack, stopping at no frills on the way back, and bought a watermelon. it was still really heavy, but manageable. it thru off my balance a little. in a way, i feel like it prepared me some for my heavy backpack in peru. when i got home i weighted the watermelon on my bathroom scale, and it was 10 whole pounds.
i watched "the women" this evening. it was ok. i mention it because i felt it borrowed from the concept behind sex and the city – 4 very different women who are super tight friends. meh.
on my way home from sunday lunch i stopped at value village and purchased a few new items of clothes. i thought it would be prudent to acquire a pair of pants that zip-off into shorts – save some space in my backpack by having hybrid clothes. i like what i got, althought i noticed the prices have gone up there. almost all the tops i got were $5.99, and i swear i never used to spend more that $2.99 or $3.99 on t-shirts there. i'm unimpressed by that. i got this one shirt that is very uncharacteristic of me – it's covered in skull+crossbones. i know... weird huh? but i liked it and went back to the rack for it after a few minutes of pondering. i think it and my new shorts will be my new favourite outfit.
the evening is passing quickly. i'm going to TRY and make good use of it.
tell me what to do.
now the tank is dry.
now this wheel is flat.
