With sugar on side

Rain came back to this city yesterday, when some of us had to commute to a campus further away at the Buda side. I was the only one with rubber boots, but the fact kept me no longer comfortable once the relentless droplets permeated my jacket. Wet-dog feeling all day; Chinese buffet we had visited once before delivered delicious food again - with a slice of steel hidden in the attitude. Around the evening, I still managed a quick trip to play billiard at Amigo, which felt both friendly and familiar from the moment I set a shoe inside, before I had to scurry back home. There seems to be a technique to opening our gate after 10 o'clock, but since I failed once before I'm not taking any risks until I master the secret art.

Today consisted of commuting and courses postponed without our knowledge; at least the decent coffee and lunch (pita-gyros, I recall) set a few happy notes to the ever-present tune of looming failure. On our way home from the class that wasn't there, we failed to even exit the building gracefully. But lo and behold! The last class of the day was actually held and I felt happy about the nature of problem-solving that seems to be involved with the database planning.

Song of the day: Ratatat - Montanita
