what's up wih green garlic

patati patata

and why is it so slimy inside the scallions green branches?
questions for vegetables...

trying to learn korean these days

world of books

this is a new old obsession as once every few months or years, I will try without success to become fluent in Korean. I do know how to read the characters in slow-mo but don't know what they mean.
the only problem is it really makes me want to eat bulgogi and kimchi...
I listen to this kbs site and also my sister just told me about podcast (magic word). Love love the internet, it will even teach you Korean, something my parents never did.

a blog called new & old obsessions diaries too

non Korean notes

a blog called "thoughts about food and music"

the bowl of almonds followed me back to my desk

Hajme El Khali - Forge your own chains - Kourosh Yaghamael
California - Bird Brain - Claude Vonstroke

the music name I never remember
maybe because it's not in my itunes

my birthday playlist is still too long - 16 hours
can I make it 5?
Ouch
or another word for elimination

there are days like that where you just feel like dancing all the time

Such a beautiful beautiful day today

dark pink sunset
looking at it through the thin space between the blinds and the window frame

music that makes you ecstatic

I admitted it... I am a homeopathy freak....

everyday, googling words I don't know

on a day like today - zevolution - gichy dan - Todd Terje

instead of studying

grandview video

watching the minimalist videos.
with the book in front of course...
It takes time to the body to prepare the ingredients to feel like you really do know them well. The textures and the physical reactions are suspenseful the first time.
Today, I cooked daikon radishes for the first time. I had eaten them many times as kaptugi or in soups but I had never had the balls to get the crazy veggie. I say crazy because it looks crazy and big and prehistorical. Boiled, the radish becomes sweet.
I called my mom to find out if I could eat the leaves, she said no but the internet said yes so she changed her mind.

taking notes is like cooking words

The Laurels of Erotomania - Love comes closer - Cold Cave

when i take notes, i feel like i'm still thinking

swimming fields - seek magic - memory tapes

that's what i was waiting for all day - to be touched by music

an education

the same painting in all the hotel rooms

went to see the movie with MIL.
I love the UK accent even if I can't quite understand it, it's like the Shakespeare plays I stubbornly keep on going to watch. Lost in the words.
Needed to see a movie that makes me feel like studying is the shit. Impatience is knocking at my door.
The movie wasn't quite what I expected, I actually thought that the school of life would win over the academics.
almost 1am - time to study s'more...

a play

it's cold outside

There can be different readings. Simple readings, or complex ones or exaggerated. Which one do you think I'll pick? ;)
I seem to see my mom in many characters. I turn said-weak personnas into heroes because everybody can be a hero, in a way or the weakness can happen because one tried to be a hero which can just be to want to live differently. Ahead of their time or like a free spirit. Psycho-analysis can make everything acceptable?
How to lead one's life can be a question difficult to ask after a certain point in life but I guess U-turns are an easy maneuver, require a bit of planning; looking ahead and checking the rear-view mirrors.
And of course as in every drama, there was alienation?

the recycling bin returned!

ice sink

today
someone must have felt bad or have finally read the inscription on the bin that said to which address it belonged! It was gone missing for 3 weeks or more.
good thing we're procrastinators and hadn't bought a new one...

i like studying but...

draft

i do like having fun
g calls me a professional fun haver
want to have fun all the time
even when i study if it's possible

notes are fun

about the true artists in the heart, you deserve every bit of pleasure you get
