Random Tuesday: Stream of Consciousness

randomtuesday

Today is Random Tuesday, yay!
Even though my blog is pretty random every day, hence its title, today is fun because I get a special excuse not to need any particular theme or plan. Here it goes!

I went to Mocha Mocha again today, and went for a regular latte, rather than the splendid Hazelnut Mocha I had last week. While my coffee was good, it didn't live up to last Tuesday's expectations.

Does bread make you tired? It makes me sooo sleepy. I wonder if it's a natural property of grains, or if I'm in some way gluten intolerant. The reason that I'm asking is that I had a bacon sandwich on wheat bread for breakfast today (while sipping on my latte with my friend Dan) and now I just want to curl up on the bench in the sun behind the Grad Center and have a snooze.

In fact, I have already done that. Right when I returned from Mocha Mocha. It was so warm and loverly.

I'm happy that the sun is starting to grace us with her presence, but couldn't she just wait until after my essays are handed in next Friday? I just want to be outdoors all the time. But, unfortunately, laptops don't love the sun half as much as I do. And my laptop and I have to be BFFs at the moment.

I think I'm going to start dreaming about Plato soon.

One time, in high school, I dreamed in Old English. I was in a play based off of Macbeth and The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, reading Cyrano de Bergerac, helping my sister (a freshman at the time) read Romeo & Juliet, and had watched Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet that night. I don't remember what the dream was about; I just remember that the setting was contemporary but all of the speaking was done in Shakespearean prose.

I've started reading Julie & Julia. It's light and a bit girly, and I think it's the perfect read for that time at night where my brain needs to wind down from work.

Not that I'm working now. I'm blogging. And dreaming about all the lovely things I could be doing in the sun right now. I have a meeting in just over an hour, so maybe I should get back to started on work.

Maybe Random Tuesday should be renamed Stream of Consciousness Tuesday.

I hope you enjoy your day and appreciate the sun!

  1. A dream in Old English would be freaky. Sun is good. I want a Hazelnut Mocha.

  2. During some final exam period, I can remember dreaming in German!

  3. Oh, they say that's a good sign for learning languages, don't they?

  4. I might read that book. Everyone who saw the movie said they thought of me, most likely because I'm a blogger and my name is Julie but I figure I'll go for it since I'm a blogger and my name is Julie. :)

  5. I liked the book much better than the movie. I don't think that Julie blogs now, though.

    Bread makes me bloaty AND tired. I think it's something about the fast carb energy burn - your body uses it so quickly that you 'crash' right away - because white rice has the same effect on me.

I love comments almost as much as I love coffee. And both keep me going! <3
