Contact
I just finished reading Carl Sagan's Contact, the book on which the film is based. I love the movie, but it is no comparison to the book. It's a much more detailed and elaborate story in the book (the Machine has 5 seats instead of 1, eg) and Sagan has a very enjoyable style. Plus there's lots more math and physics in it, which makes it all the more endearing. I recommend it to anyone with an analytical mind.
Lisa and I went to the Monon Trail for the first time last night. She was on her bike and I was on my rollerblades. It wasn't much of a workout for her, but I definitely got a good workout -- we probably went almost 10 miles on it. I really enjoyed it. It reminds me a lot of the Greenbelt in Boise, but not quite as cool. It's for the most part by an old railroad instead of by a river. And it's not quite as wide and there are fewer trees and it just doesn't have that comfortable familiarity and memories the Greenbelt has for me. But it was still really cool and I want to spend a lot of time there now.
I went to visit Abbey in Tell City Monday and Tuesday of this week. That was a really fun quick little trip. I like Tell City a lot... it seems like it just has a lot of character. And it's not ridiculously flat like the rest of Indiana. Most of the time I was there I was just hanging out with Abbey and her family, and that was absolutely fine with me. It was a very pleasant trip. The drive back was gorgeous, too -- there was a little bit of rain at the beginning (which was nice because it kept the sun off me) and then there was an absolutely phenomenal sunset. There was a double rainbow, too. I can't describe how awe-inspiring it was... but it was truly magnificent.
I can't think of anything else to say so I'm just gonna post this and go home and eat something.
