parisian elysium

Drowsiness prevails, and thoughts about Paris persist. However, I am almost settled in!

a film and flowers

Springtime is awakening, and that means feeling the freedom of not having to wear slippers (however cute they may be, they’re also getting a bit tattered) around the house and being able to eat fresh, chilled foods with elegant gusto. I am going to be traveling up north to Hokkaido soon, so the springtime will probably seem even nicer and even more refreshing after a brief tangle in the cold.

I was feeling melancholy a couple of days ago, so I perhaps shouldn’t have watched The Deer Hunter, but I did anyway. Christopher Walken and John Cazale are two of my favorite actors. They wore fur hats in some parts of the film, and I don’t like real fur, but I liked the way those hats looked and the furry wilderness of the hats juxtaposed to their tuxedos.

I also bought flowers yesterday in my post-The Deer Hunter blueness. I have never really been a flower person, but I think I’m becoming one. As soon as I got home and arranged flowers around the apartment, I started to feel a bit lighter and happier.
