Girlfriend in the park

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2005.05.23

Today, after the usual money-spending-spree, my girlfriend and I took a blanket and sat in the park to read. It was cool and blustery (and this is late May!). The park was also plagued by small bands of teenagers that roamed the fringes of the park and shot bottlerockets at one another. Which can be a bit disconcerting until you remember the old adage, "it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye - then it's a sport". So we had fun. Unfortunately we were not smart enough to bring booze. Duh!

Also, while shopping for a book for Jon, I managed to pick one up for myself. So now I'm back to reading three books at once. Sigh.

It's weird, man. People can watch a movie where thousands of people die in a war and not a tear. Yet one collie dies .. and the entire nation collapses with grief.
