Trying my hand at being a writer through my mid-life crisis in Japan.
I see some traffic on my journal and just want to mention it started here:

Also, thank you for reading! Hope you stick around! :)
Had some pretty intense writers block for the past few days. Spent it trying to think of how I wanted to express the joy of mundanity - and instead explored where my heart and mind have been while living here. Glad I took some time to think this one through.
This weekend I climbed a mountain. It was incredible. So much so I had to write
I watched Whistle last night. To be fair, maybe it wasn't meant for me but I felt that the idea of kids trying to escape an immutable, unstoppable force intriguing until they figure out a way to escape it. I understand the whole "living is a choice" theme but they paint the "villain" as something inescapable until you escape it.
@Quasit I am only on the first book but I find their suffering nigh-comical mostly because it is done in such an absurd way -- does it get worse? Like, does the absurdity of it go away?
@Quasit I've been listening to the audiobook -- how tortuous we talking?
I got a kick out of Magic 2.0 but I'm not sure I can fully recommend it haha
