In The Ocean Of Night

I was struck by this sense of dislocation, disorientation today ... Yesterday was the end of the stats paper and i told myself that I deserved a nice little break. So I spent many many many hours on the computer last night watching anime, movies ... and woke up at 12vish. Now ... the problem was I didn't know wad to do! After studying day and night for so long ... a simple day of freedom was leaving me a little bewildered. Heh well I bought a book ... two actually ... so I read ... and it was fantastic to finally be reading fiction again ... to be lost between worlds where u can forget your own problems, dreams and anxieties and instead immerse yourself in those of the characters and the author. Yesh I realized that apart from those things I have already mentioned ... I really do miss reading a lot since arriving in London. The stuff I've been reading these nine months is NOT light reading ... Thomas Hobbes, Varian, Abramovtiz (the names just leap out and stun you especially when you're trying hard to remember who said what) ... non-fiction carries it own charm I guess ... informative and sometimes even entertaining ... but ... you get the drift.
Ah well the reason I was stuck alone was because certain buds of mine were up in Biscester today. Shopping. Actually truth to tell they did ask me along and of course I like bargains too (since Biscseter is a kinda factory outlet) but just not really in the mood to spend hours running through clothes and stuff.
Btw it was blazing hot today. 29 degrees. Shows how weak I am now haha ... gonna be toast back home. But really one of the things I'm gonna miss here is the weather (when's its nice around 16 degrees). Its like a perpetual air-con.
Really hungry now. How does one get food at 0200 am in Central London? The answer is 42.
