Last Friday I intended to pick something up on the way home from work. Since it was on my usual route it seemed easy enough, but as it is most of the time, I end up passing it and going home as usual. It's hard to break a habit.
One part of martial art training is building muscle memory by repeating movements. We did the same thing in typing class by constantly hitting the same keys until you no longer have to think about them, it just comes naturally.
So while this was on my mind TCM was showing the 1960 version of The Time Machine. I always liked the story, but thinking about the routines that made the Eloi and the Morlocks continue on as they had makes more sense now.
I have got to start changing things every once in a while.
