Rhapsody on a Theme

Because I've always wanted to be a rhapsodizer.

It's strange how some habits are picked up. Yesterday, as I was getting on an elevator, another guy rushed in just before the door closed. Since we were the only two men on the elevator, we naturally took positions on the opposite walls and, just as naturally, leaned up against it. I caught myself almost immediately and thought it was quite curious how both of us naturally felt this urge to disassociate as much as possible.

On the ride back down, once again, the elevator ride consisted of another guy and I, and once again, he immediately leaned against the other wall as soon as the ride started. Quite curious.

And speaking of habits, I've picked up this habit of buying a couple of books every time I visit a book store. I know I know. But usually, I don't buy any books, but nowadays I'm just on a spending frenzy I suppose. Last night's theme was fiction. I bought The Godfather, which I read before and liked, and Atonement, which I have not read but they are making an Oscar contender out of it so it can't be that bad right? Thoughts?

I was also tempted to buy this Oxford's Guide to Philosophy that was on sale for $10. But it was 1000+ pages! But oh so tempting.
