I am usually not given to such sweeping generalities...

But I may have the best supervisors in the world for my masters thesis.
(I am certainly very fortunate to have them.)

Tis insanely hard to get off of beanbags

They're quicksand, pulling me back inside them

Boo.

So I passed by this gentleman in a great black coat whistling his way down a narrow alley

And I wondered if I was in a story. ( He's plotting something, ain't he?)

Pudding.

Because you can never have enough of saying the word. (Or eating it.)

Ooh, 100 posts!

Whoops. Including 13 drafts.

#Will have to wait a little longer for the magical 100th.
#Already know the title of the 100th.

How does it feel

To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone ?*
Like this.

May Kasahara

If I started the book because I took a shine to its name (The Wind-up Bird Chronicle), I stayed because I took a shine to May Kasahara.

Knoll.

Of the month, actually. I have not really had much occasion to use it, but I think it very pretty.

Happy birthday, to someone very special

And apologies, for not keeping in touch. To her, and everyone else I've left behind.

Lenses #12

There's something very honest, very real about J that I fancy he does not quite belong to this world.

Lenses #11

Under all that boundless enthusiasm and quiet intelligence, T gives me a warm sense of being cared for.

I want to write like Sylvia Plath.

Stark. And unafraid.

Now far ahead the road has gone, and I must follow if I can

*The Road goes ever on and on

And Time, infinite, seems to be slipping away

And who can say when the day sleeps
If the night keeps all your heart
*Enya. Only Time.
