it's a lazy satuday and I love it
things I will do:
- paint my nails
- watch kiki’s delivery service
- finish laundry i still have from africa (yes, i suck at unpacking)
- maybe finish the snarky How to Buy a Love of Reading
- asian market to pick up a few essential things that have been greatly missed from my diet for the past 2 weeks: bulgogi, salmon roe, eel, pork gyoza, milk tea (banana milk - check, thanks to katie!)
- 5-mile run (not exactly lazy per se)
- finally post africa pics!

BEST THING I'VE HEARD ALL DAY
I SHARE A DENTIST WITH THIS MAN:
“How could anyone possibly think or worry, or do anything except splash and dive and loll there on the edge of time while the flower months failed. Let the days move over—sadness and memory and pain recurred outside, and here, once more, before he went on to meet them he wanted to drift and be young.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise
