friday, 14th june

I went to library today to return some books, extend one loan and I thought I won't really borrow anything now as I got a huge queue already... but I caved in and I got 4 more books to read. I'm jumping to Murakami's first three novels, they are fast to read so I hope to review them soon. Then I have 2 more books on loan until end of this month...

I want to read all of these books before I'll go to visit my aunt in other country (one of our neighbors though). I just hope her son, my cousin, won't be here around as court proceedings might take longer... My mom told me something happened during the birth that he's a bit weird and is unfortunately a kleptomaniac. It was why he ended up in jail all the time. It's more of issue because I don't like to be around men who I don't know, even if they are my family... I checked out the trains now and cheaper one, a private carrier from my aunt's country, has cheaper tickets (not in sleeping wagons) but it's an overnight train so I'd have to take a sleep wagon tickets. Most likely I'll be away between 8th and 15th july, I won't have the internet and I'm not taking my computer. Probably I'll have to write down my reviews on paper or maybe I'll get a cheap netbook... I remember finding out about AlphaSmart word processors and I'd like to have one but they are expensive nowadays for me plus shipping to my country makes costs higher.

I still need to get an analog compact camera to use up my film and I'm getting another digi in the mail. Though I have urge to get some different film to try it, I wonder if Portra could look nice at dusk? It's expensive and I don't want to use up all of these unique film stocks I amassed over the years.

I've been feeling off for past few days, some things that happened at once on Wednesday made me break down for first time in a while. My back muscles are stiff again, I feel PMS symptoms... probably it will be here soon. I felt a bit depressive and I ended up taking a day off yesterday, I found a time to organize room where I sew and clean up in guest room I'm currently sleeping in.

I need to go back to my writing in my paper journal.

I finally started to read Hear the Wind Sing / Pinball 1973 for a first time since 2022. Additionally there's a new photography section on the site.
