Yesterday was like Christmas all over again. Some things I ordered recently arrived all at once, including the usual two netflix movies.
Followed by my new Epson Stylus photo printer a few hours later. The thing is freaking huge, I don't really have any room for it. At least I'm set for a while in terms of photo equipment.. I think. I would still like to get some filters.

PASTA, starring the lovely Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Sun Gyun, whom I find oddly attractive --- incredibly so! I really want to watch this.
Perfect cast and perfect theme song too, which I've had on repeat since it's been released. You can listen to it here. I love Kyuhyun's voice --- love, love, love.
Speaking of pasta, above is a photo of an Italian restaurant in Seoul (more precisely: Samcheong-dong), where we had dinner one evening. We were really craving Western food! Such a cute restaurant, unfortunately I don't remember what it's called.

Just in time for my 25th birthday Aaron sent me a big box from Bangkok full of amazing things. In a tiny silver box was a rock he took from a river in the Himalayas. The water has worn a small groove that's perfect for your thumb, he carried it in his hand through the Annapurnas. It absolutely killed me. Thank you for always always always reminding me how fucking huge things are. How huge and beautiful, and how full of incredible promise. I love you.

Flute melody from War and Beauty played by two lovers portrayed by Moses Chan and Maggie Cheung Ho-Yee. I loved these two together, my favourite characters in the entire series. That said, I can't wait for Maggie's return to the small screen later this year!
Pictured above: Maggie Cheung Ho-Yee character "napping" on her lover's shoulder as they head towards a new life away from the Palace. Maggie's character actually got shot by an arrow earlier while they were trying to escape from the chaos --- she's slowly passing away by his side but he doesn't know. He promises to wake her up once they get to their destination, and this is how the drama ends. So sad! I could watch the ending over and over again. I'll just assume that they eventually bump into a wandering doctor on the way :)
"Nều được thả ghe ở trên sông
Thiếp chiụ đi theo chàng"
(Part of a poem Maggie's character had embroidered onto a silk napkin, for my own record I suppose.... I would never be able to translate it properly! I loved it so much I actually recorded the poem with my iPhone as it was being recited! I wonder what it sounds like in Cantonese, the drama's original language.)

happy new year.
2009 was a soul-destroying year that I am glad is over.
I have tassles.

Things have been good since Tim came back from Tamworth. On New Year's day we made dinner together, afterwards I took a shower and he sat in the bathroom drinking white wine from a tumbler, talking and singing to me while I washed my hair. On New Year's Eve we went to Coogee with some people and watched the fireworks from the beach, then we went home. For Christmas he gave me Louise Gluck's Vita Nova and inside the cover he had written "always, always and always". And this amazing book. There's one poem in Vita Nova where she says that hunger is a kind of fate, that you are driven to certain things and certain people by a hunger, and you choose whether you honour that hunger or not. And the hunger and the choosing is the Fates manifesting. This morning I went into Surry Hills and had breakfast with Robin, the heat finally collapsed and it stormed. I bought beautiful bunches of wild lavender from the market, and my feverfew is starting to bloom, small white and yellow flowers like tiny eggs. I'll be 25 on Thursday, so weird to think about. My holidays are over and I have to go back to work on Monday.

I've been feeling a little bit more alive, these days; able to show my face again.

I was given this old wooden librarian's trolley, my mum works at a school and they were throwing it out, she thought I might like it. I can't make up my mind about it! I spent most of yesterday fixing it up, I gave it a good scrubbing, scraped the paint marks off and buffed it with some wood oil. It has shelves on both sides. I've put a few things on it to see how it looks and make up my mind. I'm undecided so be as honest as you like. It doesn't really "go" with my apartment but the nostalgic value is hard to pass up. I toyed vaguely with the idea of painting it white, but I'm worried it might end up looking shitty, and I am generally opposed to painting over wood.
I'm wondering what I can do with it. Should I keep it? Should I paint it? Strip it? Leave it? Horrible, get rid of it?
