Veterans' Day

Yesterday there was no school, so I borrowed a car (it's been a few months since I've driven and it was soooo nice to drive a car again!!) and a friend and I drove an hour (or an hour and a half) to the other side of the Island to Mauna Kea Beach (click on the link and then click on the Mauna Kea Beach link for a panoramic view). It was WINDY, and it felt like I was getting sandblasted. And the weather is changing, so the water was cold (well, at least not warm) and I had to get out of the water often to warm up.

I spent the large part of my beach time reading Abhorsen, the sequel to Sabriel and Lirael. It's a good book thus far, and I am excited about finishing it.

I also went to The Matrix Revolutions yesterday, in the early afternoon, and then watched 24, both with the aforementioned friend. The Matrix Rev asked more questions than it answered, in my opinion, and I with for the old Great Hall days where I could stop by some table full of philosophers and ask them what the heck is the deal with that movie. Sigh.

It was a good day, though not what I expected at all.
