eros the bittersweet

random things

that make me feel one of the three (or all at the same time): alive, sane, preoccupied.
  • metal puzzles - i am so into these things that i find myself scouring bookstores to no end just to see if they have any new puzzles for sale
  • carson's 'the autobiography of red' (about done with the book and it is delicious)
  • poetry - reading and/or writing
  • ackerman's 'origami bridges'
  • cleaning my shelf
  • trying to keep everyone else updated by writing on my blog again
  • pain (masochistic!)
  • the notion of getting another tattoo
  • saving up for my laptop
  • 17 more to go (of what - i will reveal in the opportune moment)
  • painting flowers again
  • the mosquitoes under my study table that just won't quit
  • lie to me
  • re-reading carson's 'eros the bittersweet' (yes, the book that inspired me to put up a blog)
  • wrapping my books
  • getting a new set of sticker bookplates
  • the idea of you
  • the want to experience even just a semblance of peace
  • so proud of my nephew angelo being so smart - he solved one metal puzzle that has been baffling me
  • the destruction in japan, as read on yahoo.com earlier - i pray that we all do what we can to help any which way possible
  • losing my office id - i don't like the process i'd have to go through to secure another one
  • miller's 'tropic of cancer' - piece of advise: read this after nin's 'the delta of venus'
  • photography
  • portraits of you
  • you are all i can see behind the lens
  • the hope that you will soon see things from my end
  • just recently started 'learning' poker. a few weeks later i got myself my own poker set.
  • the difference of green and olive green
  • going someplace else

and the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
