DeMizio's Journal

Home

Home is home. Got in Sunday afternoon. Traffic, as per the afternoon usual, was bad: why are Maryland drivers so poor? Once past the Mason-Dixon line - that line that forms the northern boundary of Maryland on I-95 - every single driver seems to forget that they're driving. People on cell phones, people eating things, people doing anything but pay attention to the darn road. I think it all may just be me though, fidgeting once I get into the state, anxious to get home, knowing that getting out of PA is only 1/2 the battle.

I've done nothing but sleep pretty much since I got here, which I think is pretty good considering all the sleep that I lost in the last few weeks. There were classes, then exams, then checkout duty, then community development breakfasts, and then on my last day, I got a call from one of my residents - who had moved out less than 24 hours previously - at 6:30AM. Pleasant, but I wanted to sleep in.

Other than that, not much has happened here. I have a couple of goals while I'm home:

• Catch Spiderman at Hoyts, while I can see it for free, to see if the buzz is as good as people are saying.


• Watch the director's cut of "Amadeus" at the Senator Theatre, one of the most beautiful theatres I've ever been in - quality presentation, state of the art sound, and great popcorn.


• Get in touch with Magrogan, my old high school english teacher and mentor. Same for Motsay, except switch english for biology.


• sleep.

So, there we go. My internet connection sucks while here, but I rustled up one link for today. Why go do fantasy football, basketball, or baseball when you have bowling? I mean, really, think about it. Bowling. Ten pins, you, and a ball. Is there a more important or relevant challenge to the lives we lead as humans every single day?

I think not.
