Or, a vision in a dream. A Fragment.
I am so happy to be not doing something crazy this summer, so I can get back into things I’ve neglected lately… one thing that has been sadly lacking of late is music. I’ve been lucky to be able to play (an out-of-tune) piano while in new brunswick. a bit (okay a lot) shaky at first, but reading gets easier … Read More
while trying to get the dog to walk a little out back, it took me about ten minutes to realize that the tall trees I was staring at–now twice my height–were the short 2-foot high shrubs from my memory of ten years ago. (tiny fireworks of green bursting forth)
May 9 is Europe Day. “Europe has been searching for years for something to inspire a new generation of citizens – a generation unimpressed by 60 years of peace and the ending of the continents’ Cold War divisions.” aha. pastries should do it.

my second time out playing tennis since being injured 7 months ago, and it felt sooo good. despite the occasional hitting out of the court, I was feeling the sweetspot, even on my (lately) erratic two-handed backhand. and it was lovely being out in the sun: but my cheeks are a bit pink now! after running around all day I … Read More
finally posted some pictures of taiwan…

as I was limping around hong kong (with my bum achilles) over new year’s my mom wanted to go in this department store, so while I waited I took some pictures. “lipsexy essence – to clear eye bags and dark circles – buy one get one free – nipple cream – the nipple back to pink color – pearl cream”
