emotional landscapes...

i'm alright being alone. i do better when i'm focusing on keeping myself busy. then again, i know the beauty of quiet and stillness. i crank up the music (Jóga now) and it just melts together. i'm staring through the air at nothing in particular.

i could easily become a hermit if i let myself slip that way. communication via the Internet, news and all that, could keep me sustained for a while. so long as i could go walk in the world with music in my headphones.

i'm gearing up for my trip to the UK next week for my father-in-law's birthday party. boat on the Thames. something with a large ferris wheel? food, food, wine and food. i'm very much looking forward to it; i've never been off the continent.

i also bought a ticket to fly back to North Carolina for my mom's birthday. months are going to fly by and i daresay i won't notice much with all the traveling. summer, in general, is like that. it was always a truth in gradeschool that three months could seem like three weeks. maybe it will be true in this instance.

work is going famously. i'm diving into projects headfirst as quickly and as voraciously as i can. i love it. i'm making it a personal goal to put less cream in my coffee. would that i could drink it black with only sugar.

those Mini-Moos should be a crime.
