sense :: smell // fresh peppers
Militant pengi might make you think that I’m unhappy, but quite the contrary – I just love this image.
That aside, I’ve been paying close attention to where I live these days, a bit more than usual. Aside from some of the lovely things I’ve noticed already, like the brilliant [...]
(Answer to: Share the longest road trip you’ve ever taken.)
It was the spring of 2001. Back in the day when I was a bit more into the whole partykid thing, my girlfriend at the time (who was also a partykid) and I and a couple of our friends decided we would make the [...]
sense :: taste // tea/coffee blend
I can hear string instruments in my head today. They make me think of empty seasides, somewhere chilly but warm enough that I don’t need a jacket, somewhere I can put a cello down and play. I don’t even know how to play the cello, but I’d love to learn [...]
sense :: hearing // Savage Garden – To The Moon and Back
just to be wanted. Is it worth it?
It seems ridiculous, the more I observe it, the more I let it eat away at my psyche, burn away my conscious understanding. The more I dance, the less I think about the experiment; it’s a line [...]
sense :: smell // sesame oil
Things haven’t been quite as frenetic as they had been, but what has been going on has been sufficiently mind-encompassing that I’ve hardly had time to think, much less put those thoughts into anything remotely resembling a coherent sentence. Regardless, the thoughts have been swirling around in my head, waiting [...]
sense :: sight // hovering clouds
I can’t help but feel like I’m wasting my time sometimes in the office. I didn’t get into this line of work because I specifically thought it would be rewarding spiritually or personally – I thought it would be a good career move, and help me make use of the [...]
sense :: taste // sweet white wine
It’s been quite a week. Werk has been keeping me more than busy, I’d say something more like frantically and frenetically occupied. It’s been more than busy, it’s been mind-bogglingly, frustratingly, constantly in motion. From the beginning of the week to the end of the week, things have been [...]
sense :: touch // broken bed
The bed broke again last night.
Although it’s not so much “again,” as I had managed to affect repairs from the last time the bed broke and last night while we slept, those repairs kind of came undone. We can still sleep in it, mind you, if we don’t mind [...]
sense :: smell // green tea
It’s been too long, I’m afraid. I wish I could say I took something of a delightfully relaxing vacation or something, but then I’d be lying, and I don’t like to do that. very often, anyway.
A lot has happened since I had the opportunity to write. We broke our bed…again, [...]
sense :: taste // more mojitos
I made a pitcher of mojito this time, to be savored over the coming days and weeks. Delicious. Besides, I had a bunch of mixer left.
So the holiday season is upon us; next week is Thanksgiving, and a good long four-day weekend for me. And yet, with the holiday [...]
sense :: hearing // DJ Sin Plomo & Inusa – Miss Me
Both here and at Aeria Gloris, I’m pondering starting a new category called “storytelling,” for those times when I have a recollection or a reflection to make that winds up weaving itself into something more than just a reflection or a little nostalgia. Some [...]
