Sunday Morning

So, do you like sundays? Personally, I think it's the most depressing day of the week.

Maybe it's school - we always had a test on Mondays - to blame for this. Saturdays are always full of hope, Friday's I feel like having a beer, the rest of the week sort of folds into itself, but Sunday, my lord, what's up with that? What do you do with a Sunday? Waste it, use it? Neither seems appropriate.

I made Spinach Saag and Chana Daal. The Dal was unbelievable; there weren't any onions so the spinach was not what it could have been. Good, never the less.

Velvet Underground summed up my feelings for sunday:

Sunday morning, praise the dawning
It's just a restless feeling by my side
Early dawning, sunday morning
It's just the wasted years so close behind

Watch out, the world's behind you
There's always someone around you who will call
It's nothing at all

Sunday morning and I'm falling
I've got a feeling I don't want to know
Early dawning, sunday morning
It's all the streets you crossed, not so long ago
