I am alone at home today. The family took a trip today (accompanied by the family from Abu Dhabi) to a strawberry farm. They were going to pick strawberries. I decided not to go. I have never been a fruit person; so, it seems rather ridiculous that I go pick them since I will be picking them for other people.... and why should I do that?

and so, I have stayed home. It is good to be alone for a while. At university, I can just go into my room and shut the door and I have my peace and quiet. Not so here. The house is always bustling. People do not seem to shut up. Sometimes, it gets mighty annoying. There is always something going on. With two younger brothers and one sister, there is always an event going on in the house. Someone is late for a baseball game, someone else's friends are coming over, someone else would like a glass of chocolate milk rather than regular milk etc etc.

So... I am glad to be here alone. I just watched Fight Club for the second time. I watched it three years ago for the first time but I distinctly remember dozing off in the middle somewhere... so another viewing was in order. It's a good movie. Edward Norton is a great actor. I especially liked him in American History X.

I went out and bought a lighter today. I don't smoke but I have a friend who got me a cuban cigar a month or two ago and I still have it. I like cigars and find it real hard to let one rot away especially since it is a cuban. So I might smoke it. I intially thought that I would do it today... but it's hot out. So, maybe in a few days when I have some time to kill ...

I think I am gonna take a little nap... That movie made me use my brain a little more than I had orginally planned to...
