Its Saturday and I’m hanging out with Loralie most of the day. Were Cat napping and just laying about cuddling. I’m trying to combat the feeling of being a tourist. It feels like a vacation I haven’t had in years but I keep reminding my self that I’m living here. So I’m staying in fighting the urge to pack in as much stuff as posable as I would if I had a short amount of days to see the city. Its still so surreal so I’m trying to do mundane things to keep my self from going over board, I’m trying to pace my self.
So I went to the movies after spending the most of the day with Loralie. I went to see the new Harry Potter movie. It was good but much darker than the others. I went to one of the many movie theaters in downtown Berkley. Movie theaters seem to be like churches in the south, there are several per city block. After the movie I walked around down town Berkley just getting to know the place. I’m walking so much I’m starting to wear blisters on the bottom of my feet. I’m going to invest in some good sneakers soon.
I walked up and down Shattuck st. stopping in at a produce/ grocer to buy a white skinned nectarine then headed back the other way. I stopped to window shop in stores of interest along the way. I stopped in at this really cool book store called “Half Price Books” and went through some of the stacks. Jacky and Matt called later wanting to see if I would be interested in going to Target. I said sure and tried to walk to meet them. I ended up walking all the way down to Beckley Bowl which looked to be a grocery store. They came and picked me up from there and we went to Target.
It was the Mecca of all Targets!!!! I died and went to Target heaven. It was two stores! It was freak’n awesome! We ran a few more errands and then they dropped me off at the apartment. So here ends the day, me blogging and going through the things I bought at the Mac Daddy of all Targets.
