Richie Lee & the Fabulous ’50s come to UMBA Hall

Day Twelve | Friday Night

I rarely go out on Friday—or any other—nights. Especially since the Netflix app for the Xbox 360 launched, I’m mostly glued to the television, nurturing my inner film buff.

Something tells me I need to make some changes before I further lose my connection to people and the world around me, because without my nine-to-five job, I’m seeing less of people, and I’m less attuned to the circadian rhythms followed by the rest of the world. I wake up late, I sleep late, and sometimes I almost forget to leave the house at all. Then I leave the house just to say that I have.

Granted, I like Netflix (a lot), but I’d rather not be watching so many movies alone. I need more connection.
