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. Luckily they have women only wagons... I never heard about them being a thing my country so far but if they existed right wing losers would make fuss over women having own spaces where they can feel safe. 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.
