A lonely Friday evening. Spending long hours at work makes the thought of driving 350 miles up to San Francisco an unappealing one, so this evening was spent crashed on the couch watching Benny & Joon. The movie brought back memories of a night over ten years ago at the Mayfield Cinemas with a friend, and I wanted to be back in that time and place. Spent an hour afterwards walking around the neighborhood trying to clear my head. Loneliness is a bit like backpacking in the rain — you know that the only thing to do is to push forward, but the seconds drag while doing so.
"My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?" — David Mitchell
