Today I spent all day working and working some more. I didn't get to eat anything until about 6:45pm and I was actually up at 6:45am. This gives you an idea about what my day was like. When I have one of these ultra productive days where there seems to be no time to stop thinking, I get in what I would call a very "academic" mood. What I mean by this is that my mind starts working a mile a minute and just won't seem to stop. I just realized my current state of mind because Lauren and I are going to a party tonight. I had to check Lauren's email to find directions and there was an invite to some other party that some "international" house was having. I am not sure of much regarding party other than the people throwing are not the best spellers.

Before I go on, let me make it clear that having two party invites is pretty rare for us. Now I realize this might shatter the stylistic image of Lauren and I as uber-hipster fun types but the truth must be told. We don't get out much. With that said...

The subject of this email was "Invite to PArty" which in my overthinking state caused me to reflect on why the author would have capitalized the "A" in party. I thought to myself that it is possible this could be some sort of reflection on how a party is like good art. Deep down I understood the sender just wasn't so swift with english, but I indulged nonetheless in what relationship art has with parties. My resolve was as follows.

A party in its essence is simply a meeting that revolves around the company of others for no other reason than to enjoy each other. This is somewhat similar to art in that it often serves no practical purpose other than to provide some sort of enjoyment or challenge to the viewer. The relationship between the two comes from the same root of the human desire for happiness and in fact are both very similar examples of that desire.

This short hypothesis seemed very interesting to me for a moment. This moment ended when the first sentence read "I hope I spelt your name right."

I think I have made it clear that it is good to take a break every now and then or else you just end up thinking more about pointless things instead of enjoying them. Have a good weekend everyone.

(Note: Please excuse me if I spelt anything wrong...)
