parisian elysium

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

fallen on bookish days

Lust struck in the bookstore once again. I twitched. I went a bit dizzy.

And now I have two new books in my possession.

To the left is Ume Kayo’s book of photographs, Danshi (男子), which I have wanted for awhile.

To the right is Dandelion – a book of photographs by Takahashi Yoko of actress Aoi Yu traveling through Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railway. (You can see some photographs from the book here)

Of course, Dandelion was purchased on superficial inclinations. Aoi Yu is very pretty, and the clothes, colors, & setting lull me into lip-biting whimsy.

Working on a new project, so my floor and desk have fallen on gloomily disorganized days. Details soon.

Saw ASA-CHANG&巡礼 in concert the other day, and how rare! I feel invigorated about music again.

The big trip has finally come to an end. I’m still attempting to recover from my night spent at the Hong Kong airport, and I am still trying to unpack. Each encounter with packing and unpacking always leads to lots of cleaning and moving things around and a flurry of awkward and repetitive movements. Hence, I tripped flat on my face on two sets of stairs in a span of two days.

Much thanks to Sophie for letting me stay with her in Kunming and showing me around. It was a great trip, and my belly is full from all the lovely sights I was able to see.
