READING:
For the 1st time - The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas
Am swimming a bit in oldish english translated from oldish french and it's a massively long book but am giving it everything i got
For the 10th time - Morning Light, Jean Sulivan
Quote 1: According to Konrad Lorenz, even the wolf doesn't attack another wolf that bares its throat.
Quote 2: As long as we base everything on closed intelligence, starting with inherited words that are not our own, we may believe we are masters of our thinking when in fact it is inhabited by death.
Quote 3: Jesus, who constantly shifts from the intangible and the contingent to the absolute, doesn't seem to know what is reasonable and drags us toward the impossible.
Quote 4: What is shocking is to make use of God's humility and discretion in order to control things by means of power.
WRITING:
- well, this, I suppose
- questions
- fake-believe
- the word "gosh" alot, followed by "gah", "wtf", "damn". yes, my vocabulary is currently lame.
DRINKING:
An Argentinean Malbec, the only affordable really good red at the neighborhood liquor store
RECOVERING FROM:
6 hours of cycling on Saturday. My bottom did not take kindly to hard flat surfaces for days. But lordy, it was glorious to bike around this gorgeous city of ours. Forgot how much I like bikes. And speed. And wind. Helmets, whatever.
RATHER ENJOYING:
> Rain. Walked home from Gastown today, decided I'd rather get soaked than use the umbrella I had in hand. It was lovely, there were rivers of water running down my face. Then I thought I might be hypothermic. So I spent $1.50 to put my clothes in the dryer so I could put warm jeans back on. Have I mentioned that I love the process of warming up? Much better than the process of cooling down. When I say this to people I almost ALWAYS get contrary opinions. Interesting. Which is currently the vaguest word in the English language but still, interesting.
> Coffee conversation with a brand new-to-me fellow designer who is just about to take the giant leap from Firm > Freelance. Yay! Undoing the safety clasp, good stuff. Amanda, if you read this, blessings as you go sister. To be utterly but truthfully cliche, there are no mistakes, only things not tried.
RATHER ANTICIPATING:
> I know it's a month away still but I've put the Kings of Leon on repeat when I walk into town and it's got me round about ready for the concert to be, like, tomorrow.
> The possibility, though still in babythought stages, of vacating the local for the other-side-of-the-world for a wee chunk of time. Here's to dreaming, scheming, jobs that you can do from anywhere and place-to-stay offers from good souls.
FEELING:
> Like a bit of a freak to tell the truth. Which is ironic in light of that last post. Human, we are all learning and I cast as many judgments from a place of Not Really Knowing You as the next person. Even truths divorced from experience will always dwell in the realm of doubt no matter how much we allow our judgments to convince us.
> That one shouldn't drink and blog. Bad.
Ok, Crawl just came on (audio in video clothing below), going to dance now thank you very much.
r.e.s.p.e.c.t.
