New music?
Does anyone have suggestions for something fantastic that I should be listening to right now? Recently I joined an indie music community (found off of someone's profile *cough*), and there are all these bands with gorgeous names, but I recognize so few of them that I don't know what to go for first. Thanks ( Read more... ) -
Late night / early morning reading
I dimly realized at some point that one option would be confessing to my project advisor that dealing with three, even two, novels was too much over the span of a week, especially when I had other concerns (such as cover letters, a test, & other job-hunting-related activities - oh, & trying to retain my sanity, too). But I would rather be able to ( Read more... ) -

Odaiba
Odaiba! Artificial island in Tokyo Bay with Fuji TV studios, tons of shopping malls, one of the largest Ferris wheels in the world, and more. It's unfortunate that it started raining - pouring - about two hours after we got there.

I was remembering how I used to draw and read constantly when I was little and considering how I simply can't do it now. I don't have the ( Read more... ) -
March pictures.
Long overdue. I was running around and doing quite a lot of stuff during March, but I think I need to pick another time to slowly go through any of it in more detail. For now, accept my humble pictures.
If you have the time to spare, send me a happy thought? Thank you. ♥

Indoor rock climbing.
On Wednesday afternoon, I tried indoor rock climbing for the first time after getting lost and waffling painfully about it before being convinced by my friend (although, yes, it was my idea!). I only saw one other woman who made me cry a little inside when I saw her hanging casually with just one arm while looking for the next hold - my style so ( Read more... ) -
Documenting for change. / Balancing acts.
When I think of Boston, I'm reminded of Wellesley & its winding paths & struggles, but also the few women I met there whose existences still stand out like brilliantly against the rather lonely and grey landscape of my heart; going out to the city for steaming bowls of katsudon from Blue Fin, greasy appetizers & steak & some ginormous decadent ( Read more... )
