La cloche de verre

Is there no way out of the mind?

People sometimes…

Sometimes it freaks me out when people are too friendly. I’m at Starbucks and this man right next to me offered me half of his pastry because ”I always share with my daughter”. Then this guy sat at my table and started commenting on my ”foreign accent”. I’m from here, and I have the accent everyone has here, which is very distinct. Maybe my skin colour got him all confused and he started hallucinating sounds?

I have boycotted Starbucks forever but I came today because it’s the closest coffee shop to my new job and I had time to kill. I guess I won’t be coming back in another 10 years.

Sun is shining, birds are singing, etc.

I am going to figure this out. I just need to keep my focus for a long period of time and everything will get done. I can do this.

hello tumblr

I have been neglecting this tumblr since I have had it. I do log on a couple times everyday to read the blogs I follow (rather religiously) but I’ve never cared about mine. I need an escape right now so I might just start posting regularly. It would be nice to interact with people. 

Uni just started again and I’m already borderline crazy. I never thought the last year of my bachelor’s degree would start as drastically and as stressful. I just realized I need to change my schedule in a rush, I need to figure out my whole year right now but I’ve got the biggest migraine ever, nausea included. I’m reconsiderating my Master’s degree choice and don’t see anything in front of me futurewise. I’ve got no certainties for the coming years, I only see debt that needs to be paid back.

I’ve got this huge ass pile of laundry to do, so I’m just gonna ignore all of my problems and spend the evening handwashing nylons.

fat ass

After eating a ton of spicy fries yesterday, I decided it was time to start training again. I put on my workout clothes (they still fit!), put my favorite Madonna record and did 20 jumping jacks. Then I  went reading in bed for 5 hours, went out and couldn’t resist ordering a giant burrito. Oh well.

I guess this is how you start losing 20 lbs.

I want to be in Coney Island right now. I love this place so much I could see myself spending years wandering around on the Boardwalk and never get bored, laying in the sun and watching the magic operate. I took this photo in May 2010 on a beautiful thursday afternoon, old men were fishing and people were eating cotton candy. View high resolution

There must be quite a few things a hot bath won’t cure, but I don’t know many of them. Whenever I’m sad I’m going to die, or so nervous I can’t sleep, or in love with somebody I won’t be seeing for a week, I slump down just so far and then I say : ‘I’ll go take a hot bath.’ […] I never feel so much myself as when I’m in a hot bath. […] I don’t believe in baptism or the waters of Jordan or anything like that, but I guess I feel about a hot bath the way those religious people feel about holy water.
— Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar (1963)
