It's been a tiring weekend. Last Friday, I had one additional day off from work, but I had to do so may stuff. So by the time I finished, I was spent. I did wake up early, way too early, and spent unproductive time browsing the Internet checking Facebook and other stuff I could not remember. I think checking people's inane status and insipidness on the Internet is more wasteful of time than watching TV.
That Saturday, I picked my girlfriend up at work, and we actually spent some badly needed quality time. We decided to not go out and watched DVDs. I finally saw Inception and Wolfman. Social Network bored us. I think him making a website mentioning codes and algorithms that I do not understand is more interesting than how the movie was picking up, and we stopped watching sometime after 25 minutes. Good casting though. I think I am not in the mood to see it at that time, and may decide to dedicate some quiet time for the movie soon.
Then by evening, over Jollibee, we watched ballet on DVD. Yes, ballet. While Meow does not want to watch The Black Swan, she wanted to watch Ondine. Maybe I am narrow-minded. I was bored. I told her, I cannot be in a live ballet, either I'll sleep or laugh out loud. I think it's a cultural thing. I tried to interpret it, but I failed. Thank you, Wikipedia, for enlightening me of what the story was about.
When I got home, I found a copy of Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. I bought it sometime ago. I have read an e-book, until now, I have not reread it on this book. I read the Introduction and realized it was supposed to be funny. When I read it, I found it sad. Maybe I knew it was sad, so I was not able to take it as funny. That's the problem I guess when someone told you the ending of the book. Maybe I would read it again soon with higher spirits to enjoy it more.
