A mildly eventful weekend
I wasn't expecting much out of this weekend. Just another few days of general merriment at home, involving the usual reading, watching movies, sleeping, feeling sorry that the extended vacation is coming to an end, and the like. The only major event was the trip to Bowling Green, OH. Well, let's start there.
On Saturday, I went to Bowling Green and Toledo, OH for the very first time. I suppose this post will probably be the only reminder that I ever made such a trip because both these places are no different from thousands of other places scattered across the midwest, with little to do and even lesser charm. A couple of my professors at Ball State graduated from BGSU, so I suppose it was sort of neat to see the campus (which in my case amounted to a grand total of seven buildings across the main street of town at night as we were driving back to Columbus. I went with Muthu, a friend of Kedar to help him move stuff out of his house to Columbus in a U-Haul. I spent the better part of the day helping him and his roommate Naitik move things into the truck and getting to know Muthu better. That mostly happened during the time we were cleaning out his garage-turned-dumpster and during our drive back at night. Several insignificant details about that day, but one important one, we have much in common, at least when it comes to our pasts.
I came back from the move and slept at about 1:30am for exactly the next 12 hours, only to wake up with a bad upper back. Its been particularly chronic for the last few months. What I would give for a massage right now!!! What I would to have the wallet for a massage right now!!! Oh well, Sunday was mostly spent watching movies Sideways, Napoleon Dynamite (a movie I may watch again despite it being agonizingly slow) and National Treasure (brainless, yet decent fun).
Today, have been rather interesting. Kedar came back from India this afternoon after three weeks in the worst showers India has ever seen. Too bad, he didn't bring pictures of that! But something else has happened, that has me a little worried, a little saddened, but mostly disappointed in myself. This morning, Shubhada (my sister) called me with an interesting piece of news from my mom. An offer to buy the home that I grew up in for 13 years has been made by our neighbors. Additionally my mom would move into the apartment below us, where the couple that lived there are trying to sell the place. Things are still in the initlal stages, so I don't know what will happen next. I can't put my finger on it, but there is something about this deal that makes me think that it may not be a happy ending. Let's see what happens.
Eyes wide shut now, so it's good night!
