Every time I’m in there, I want to buy something, anything. I want uneven, hand-made chopsticks, and wine glass identifiers. Transparent coasters that form designs when stacked. Milk frothers. Sushi rolling mats. Designer vegetable brushes. Hand-crafted Italian martini glasses. Retro wind-up desk toys.
Slave to the Ikea nesting instinct.
The new Coheed And Cambria single (song starts playing after the Flash intro) completely knocks me off my feet. I suspect that the new album will be darker, moodier, and even better produced than their last. I’m not the only one who’s reminded of Kashmir by Led Zeppelin, with the chromatic chord progression and orchestral backing, but the similarities end there.
Can’t wait until September.
Nothing says summer like a juicy, tender, melt-in-your-mouth steak. And to have a friend cook it for you?
Well that’s even better.
I also dressed down, and stole a drink from work. Two of my best friends finally met each other. They got along famously, better than any of my other friends in the past. I supported one on the biggest decision of his life. The other told me that I had always been her hopeful out of the round of interviews for my job, over a chicken sandwich and some onion rings. I learned the four Cs of diamond appraisal, and saw a carbon spec through a loupe for the first time.
I met two cats; one rolled into my lap while playing Double Dash with the best kids in the world. A family inspired me, and I dared to dream of some day having my own.
I’m only awake now because I’m too used to waking up at half past six on workdays. A mug of Hong Kong milk tea (made with condensed milk for extra creaminess) has always been my weekend comfort food, but I ran out of loose leaves a few weeks ago. Usually, I sit at my desk and write after breakfast, finishing off the tea from breakfast, but instead I’ll be going to my music for inspiration.
I’ve run into a string of good music lately, or maybe I’ve just been hearing things in a different way. None of my playlists seem relevant again. More details when I have more time.
It’s good to be sober.
