Full On
It has been a hectic weekend and satisfying to say the least. Friday evening was a couple of hours of badminton with Dean and Becks. Saturday was housekeeping and sleeping for most part of the day and went indoor rock climbing later in the evening.Angelique , Darryn, Benji and me went indoor rock climbing. Angelique gave it a go as I was looking for a climbing partner and Benji gave it a go as he felt a little more comfortable with Darryn as his partner. It turned out to be heaps of fun - it took us all about 15-20 minutes of beginners lessons before we all got started on the main beginner's wall. My forearms are aching slightly from the climbing but overall feels great. The trick is to use your lower body to do the climbing and use your arms and hands just for balancing and support. After climbing the beginner's wall a couple of times, I thought I would give the intermediate wall a try but it was hard to get started on that- just couldn't get a grip - maybe will give it a go the next time I go rock climbing.

After the rock climbing session Angelique, Benji and me came back to our place - had dinner and a long conversation about politics, the state of world, oil, life and everything in between. Later Benji and me watched 'Lord of War' which turned out to be a pretty good movie. Real dry humor and is a poignant look at the state of world arms trade. A really well executed satire, which does not preach - just shows things as they are.
Today was the first read through for 'Nowhere to Love' and it was exhilarating, exciting and exhausting at the same time. It was great to see the words come to life and actually get a sense of the story as it would play out. What was even better was the feedback/analysis session we had after the read through and the stuff which came out of it was invaluable. I am still digesting all that information and will probably start getting it back into a cohesive format soon.

I just finished watching 'Manhattan Murder Mystery' - another movie by Woody Allen. It was funny and I think I really like Woody Allen's sense of comedy and pacing and focus on characters.
Anyway - I think I will retire for now - preparing myself for another long week at school.
Till later,
Amit
