The streets are really empty around here, everyone is gone. I want to practice piano but all the pianos we used to use are on campus and I can't access them now. My younger brother phoned me today to tell me how he and his buddy were in my old bed...

Slipping asleep I wonder, Which is better, The peace of solitude, Or the peace of having another. At this dark, silent hour, I cower beneath the sheets, Press indignantly into my pillow, I know the answer. I pull the cover closer to warm the chill...

I am sitting at home, empty house (everyone has left for the holidays). It's about eleven at night, and I am having the last of the instant miso soup that Ryu gave me. I just got off the phone with Haroon who's in California for winter break. He c...

new watch!

2009-12-16T03:31:42Z

Ryu came back from LA yesterday night and came straight to my house. It was sort of sweet, he hasn't seen his host family in days because he's been staying with me. Sounds like he had a good 24 hours in California, he mainly wanted to see a real N...

one left, kyoto in the spring?

2009-12-15T01:36:19Z

I have one exam left! I finished my paper about Yukiko's Spinach this morning. I ended up writing about consumption of the female form rather than Japanese-gaijin romance. I've beaten that theme to death, haven't I? I am looking at airplane ticke...

Continuity

2009-12-08T06:06:08Z

I wish to contend my feelings with a thousand slow words, Penned with the utmost care and attend, I wish to prolong them, to fill all of space and time with remnants of you so they never end. To pretend and to stall the end, to make friends with l...
