It's one in the morning. I just had the experience of laughing very very loudly at a Python programming book that was poking fun at regular expressions.

And then in a moment of complete mind-body separation, I disembarked from my corporal flesh, my spirit body floated up four or five feet in the air, looked down and understood one pure truth...I am SUCH a geek at times.

Everyone is gone. On vacation. Keisuke is in Korea. All the Germans are god knows where. Even my conversation partner is on a trip.

The upshot of having an apartment to yourself though is never having to say "Is my music too loud?" or "I'm sorry that I'm naked." I am much more productive this way. Doing a lot of work and computer reading. Daily basketball clears my head in between.

Tomorrow is a big adventure: going to the American grocery store in Chaoyang. Funny how every stupid errand is an adventure when you're on your own.
