Slant of light

Something about the slant of light and my dress and shoes and the after work reminded me of going to Summer Party on my lunch break five years ago.

It was so glorious to be out of the office in there for an hour. It was always wonderful, always gracious.

Even though Target is a little out of the way on my way home I wanted to reconsider storage cubes for nesting boxes, among other things. This moment to take a breath is pure and free life. It must be the light, it is so warm.

Studying with Dolls

In the afternoons, I usually take my laptop or a book to the bed and study, and a doll for company. Gertrude is sitting on my bed desk. I got her in 2015 from the Korean doll company Dollmore. She's a "Flocke" sculpt. Willow is sitting with my headphones. She's made by the Chinese company Angel of Dream. I got her in 2013. She's a "Qing" sculpt.

Two older entries I edited tonight re-posted today's date. However, the original month/year is still visible in the permalink.

This week, for comps, I read two early gothics, James Hogg's The Private Memoir and Confessions of a Justified Sinner , and Charles Brockden Brown's Edgar Huntly; or, a Sleep-Walker , which were very much along the lines of the books that absorbed me from 2005-2007, most of which I read on my Treo from Project Gutenberg. Looking back upon my interests and desires of that time sustains me now, when I have to tap into my reserves every day to keep reading.
