Wasting a bit of time... Just trying not to be in the apartment and sitting staring at my computer. I'm gettin lunch, doing a little bit of studying , reading, and procrastinating on grocery shopping.

Music
My camera
Stationary

Alice in Wonderland

I love coffee. I could drink it all day and there are days that I do. Not so much here in Japan... I start my day with powdered coffee... Which is awful, but I don't have room in my kitchen for a coffee maker. Sad. But I get by.
Oh music... I find riding my bike to the right son to be the best thin I can do over here. A sunny day, a bike ride, and Penguin Cafe Orchestra's Perpetuum Mobile... Heaven. Kaizer's Orchestra, Pendulum, the National, Movitz... Love music.
My camera is really special to me. I haven't used it nearly enough lately. I don't really have the time and have been filling the void with an Instagram addiction... But I'll get back in it. But my camera is a special thing to me, one of the few physical possessions I have that it would hurt me to lose.
Omg... So I love snail mail. It's really one of my favorite forms of communication. I don't think that's even close to a widespread sentiment, but here in Japan it's amazing how cheap silly stationary is. And I'm scrambling it up.
Gore Vidal is still one of my favorite authors... He has a lot to do with who I am today. His writing started to make me see things differently and helped me to get out of my shell and think more for myself when I was younger and though he'll never know it, I feel in his debt for that.
Anyone who knows me even a little knows I love Alice in Wonderland. And I really think it's the strangeness and uniqueness of the characters. That, and yet they are mailable through time. You can see the cast in your own way (as so many directors and illustrators have proven.) i don't love every iteration, but I love that they are forever Carroll's characters... And just as much the readers.
News... I'm a junkie, for better or for worse. I'm not as bad as some. I'm not obsessed, but it is a daily thing. I really just want to know what's going on in the world generally. And what's going on now fuels my growing desire to learn more about history. Not sure if this is a good or not... But it just is.
