Quiet time.
I had a good weekend, a quiet one. I started out on Friday night with an attempt to go dancing, but it was foiled by the terrible weather. The dance wasn't closed, but there were only about 20 people in attendance, and the band was rather slow-- the floor was nearly deserted. I did about an hour of dancing before heading out for an early night. I was also made joyful by a package I got from 
zenmaster, which contained the series of Doctor Who with Christopher Eccleston, as well as a recording of the David Gray concert that I went to in 2005, which is hands down one of the most emotionally poignant concerts of my life. Thank you, Jeff. The thought that you put into this package is immensely appreciated.
Saturday, I went out with Sarah to shop for girlie things (as I am her official personal shopper), and managed to get a few brightly-colored tops for myself at H&M. After coffee and a long talk, I went home had had a good night alone. I was just worn out and low-energy. I didn't feel like company, I didn't feel like being social, I didn't feel like being pretty-- I just wanted comfortable pajamas, flowering white tea, and my beading tools. I watched lots of Doctor Who and enjoyed the quiet.
Sunday was also spent inside, watching movies-- Marie Antoinette (great set and costume design, mediocre story and acting), The Prestige (I liked The Illusionist much better), and I started to watch the Battlestar Galactica miniseries, which I will continue tonight. I had a nice long bath and read in the tub. Coworker Sara lent me a book about the history of royal mistresses in Europe's courts, and it's full of juicy gossip, even if it is outdated by a few centuries.
Overall, quiet time was much needed and much appreciated. I'm going to try to keep the coming week fairly low key. I have to decide between bellydance and the VAST concert on Thursday, but aside from that, I can tell that I'm in for a good deal of silence, tea, and exile.
