My new sunnies
I was awoken by my alarm today at 6am and went back to bed, but somehow the guilt of not running made me get up, and strangely enough, I still managed to get out of the house by about 6:20am. I didn't time myself again. While I was walking around the house I felt a bit of pain in my right knee, and told myself to rest, but of course, I didn't, our of fear of being accused of bludging.
But once I started running, there was no discomfort whatsoever. It can be quite peaceful to go for a run, nothing wakes you up like it.
Returned home, had a shower, a bit of breakfast, and then slept again, lol. I woke up, bummed around on the net, and then decided to head out to the city. Reading The Game had made me want to try my confidence in starting a conversation with a stranger, namely a girl, and that scene in the museum was still in my recent memory so I decided to check out the museum.
I remember Kylie and Shady telling me it was $17, or maybe it was free. When I got there I saw a sign that said admission to the cafe and shop were free, which I took to mean that admission into the actual museum was not.
I couldn't be fucked paying for the museum, so decided to get something to eat at Market City, but then ended up walking towards the other end of the city in search of sunglasses, grabbing two sushi rolls on the way. I ended up at TGV, there was one of those little stalls that sells them at $40 for two pairs, or $25 for one.
I started checking them out, and there was a small Asian girl working. My intentions at that stage were to look for a suitable pair, not to chat her up. I found a pair which I thought was ok, so I bought it. While at the cash register, I thought "wait a minute, why don't you try your confidence here?" so I said to her that it was hard to find a pair that suited the face. She asked if I meant my face or her face. I looked at her, wondering which answer would be strategically best. I said my face, because it was round.
Two guys came over and started looking around the stuff at the cash register, which bothered me, probably because I didn't want to be perceived as hitting on her. She seemed to pick it up, as she looked at them, and then me, and smiled.
I grabbed the sunnies and went off on my jolly way.
I walked all the way to Market City, into the top level bathroom, just to put my new sunnies on and make sure they were ok in the mirror. They were, and I walked out wearing them. Things seemed a bit blurrier, but it was because I was indoors. I had a feeling I was going to trip over something. Luckily I didn't.
I went to a Chinese grocery store to get some of those 'Japanese biscuits', and then walked to the bus stop. While there, I was sitting on some ledge, texting my former client's sister because she texted me a few days ago. I caught a girl walking with her boyfriend do a double take as she saw me.
Hmmm...maybe these sunnies DO work.
I caught the bus home, and spent the rest of the day either on the net or reading The Game.
