Yesterday I got a much needed break from the house. I asked my RA of a safe place where I could go explore for the day, he suggested a small town called Kalk Bay. Hopped on the train for the first time, and took the 30 minute ride. It was an absolutely lovely place: Small little beach town with boutiques and antique stores. I walked around the main stretch only to realize that was pretty much all there was to see in the town. So, after about 3 hours, I headed home.
Shortly after, I met up with Olivia and some people she had met along her journeys for dinner in Town. Everything, the food, the company, etc, was really great, but really interesting. Definitely a crowd life probably otherwise wouldn't have set me up with. Because dinner wasn't unusual for me enough, we then went to a movie for the Cape Town Gay & Lesbian film festival. Beautifully well made film, but my gosh I have never felt so uncomfortable sitting in a movie theatre in my life. Plot was as follows: A gay African comes to the United States to make a documentary about the lives of gay people, he starts dating this publisher from New York, who turns out to be addicted to cocaine, and the whole movie is about their messed up relationship, cheating on each other, rehab, and his time trying to make this documentary. Then throw in some porn.
Low key day today, probably find some coffee shop in town to crank out the homework for the week.
All for now.
