movie weekend

Last night I watched the Atonement in the theaters, because it's too hard to figure out whether or not a movie has Czech or English subtitles. Amid all the sexy scenes it struck me that it's been a while since any romantic thought had entered my mind. That is unlike me.
I think being abroad has made me wary of human relationships.
I am still awkwardly trying to cope with fast-forwarding so many friendships.
And to fall in love--or at least simple attraction--seems too easy
too cheap and too convenient.

I realized that I can fall in love with anyone.
Makes me wonder if I can learn to love anyone too.
Love is just not interesting anymore.
So are people too, I guess.

(And then I watched the Darjeeng Limited today, and it made me miss everyone at home.)

My side of the room:
This morning I cooked myself bacon, eggs, and toast with cheese. Breakfast is such a beautiful thing when you make the time to enjoy it.

Dormitory/hostel.

Down the street from the dormitory.

Further down the street.


As of the past week, I've escaped to this cafe to write, read my books, and use the wi-fi (internet in the dorm sucks) with not-so-cheap coffee. But seclusion in comfy chairs is worth it.
