"It's been hard to be strong with all of this going on." - Away With Murder
Every day starts with some hardcore positivity training, it has to. I do my warmup and practice Kung Fu for a little while. They say exercize makes people happy. I know Kung Fu changes my entire day. I'm more energetic, calm, less anxious and figety, definitely more centered. Happiness? Well it at least makes me less emotional, which is good for me. We'll call it a natural anti-depressant, what could be better? I also remove external factors that could weigh on me - i.e. things are tidy, projects are finished or stashed - so I can be free to do what I want, not what I have to. Rosko and my plants are made happy.
"But if the blood pumping through my veins could freeze, like a river in Toronto, then I'd be pleased." - Forests and Sands
I'm planning to go to Vancouver next summer for an internship. I have to get out of here! I say it every summer but this Tucson heat sucks the life out of me. In fact, it's been one year I've had this blog now, and it was started just to look on the bright side, to find the pearls under the wreckage, if you will. Sometimes I have to remember that. I've been jealous of the Northwest photos I've been seeing too. What I wouldn't give for just a little rain. And the forest is like a dreamworld I could find gnomes and faeries in. I may end up there eventually - Washington or Oregon - with the forest and the Puget Sound (Orca whales!) I could be in heaven, and not ridiculously far from family.
"When you're lucid, you're the sweetest thing..." -The Sweetest Thing
Tonight was good though. I made a new Indian recipe for Coconut Pulav (rice dish) and Aloo Kurma (a potato curry) which turned out to be absolutely devine, if I may be so modest. I give credit to Madhu's Vantalu, she's quite incredible.
Today's lyrics were brought to you by Camera Obscura's latest album, My Maudlin Career. My new favorite band.
