Another frustrating day I see is unfolding in front of me. I’m going to try and be more positive about it than yesterday. That was a nightmare. I ended up staying with Sarah and watching a movie. Two people in a similar state probably aren’t that helpful. I felt like everything I said to comfort her was stupid because at the same time I couldn’t get things straight in my head. I am quite aware of how I’ve become quite irrational in the last week or so.<\/p>\n
We ended up renting a movie which I am sure Cat Power had a cameo in as a Russian ex-girlfriend. It was probably a good movie, but we had been looking for a light-hearted comedy and we ended up with a dramatic love story which involved drunks and gambling addicts and was very dark. It didn’t help our mood. The only good thing really was the betty crocker vanilla cake that we were eating before the movie started.<\/p>\n
I guess the up side, although its still very cold, is that the sun is out, and I’m sitting on reception today so am getting a healthy dose of warmth. This morning I wore two pairs of gloves while riding to work. My fingers still burned with cold. I’m looking forward to escaping Christchurch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
