The Kingdom

Given that we'd planned to finally hook up with Chris and Bonnie tonight for dinner, and for them to meet Katie, I went along with class with Katie this afternoon. Once she went to her class, I took off to the South Lawn @ Melbourne Uni to find a nice place to read.

I'd taken Kingdom Of Fear to read, which I'd made a start on while I was still working at ASI, but had not made a lot of progress. And given that it's been quite a while I was surprised to find it so easy to pick up where I'd left off in December.

Sitting under a tree, I pulled out the book and Katie's iPod, in what was a really nice afternoon with the sun slowly sinking towards the trees in the east, which was really an explosive mix. Somewhat the really nice afternoon and surroundings, and much reading Hunter, and the likes of Dead Hot Workshop and Gin Blossoms keeping me company. Getting back into reading was awesome, and I definitely thought about how I was glad that Katie had forced me to start reading Hunter Thomson's work two years ago, given how much I get off on his work. A lot of it very relitable, and making me ponder handling things the HST way. Oh, it'd be nice.

Throughout the two hours reading, when Hey Jealousy came on, I was struck with the whole Doug factor / thing, and the whole song while reading out there was just a moment in itself. In any case, an excellent afternoon.

After Katie gave me a call to let me know her class was over, we walked down to Lygon Street, where we grabbed a table and waited for Chris and Bonnie to arrive. Quite enjoyable catching up with them, not only because they were yet to meet Katie, but because I haven't seen them since Bonnie's birthday last September, which was somewhat surprising to realize.
