mood: stationary
during the past weeks, i've mostly been gathering my ends together - dripdrying everything i own in black & demure, leafing through my passport, asking strangers about how to pay cable-car fares. "are you excited?" they inevitably ask. (i say yes, instead of explaining how i'm far too steady to get caught up in anticipation of the approaching, the inevitable.) the funny thing is that i am excited about the conference at st. mary's & and all my solitary exploring in san francisco. i'm tangibly excited in a prickling toes sort of way.
i woke up early this morning & walked beside downtown cross-country ski trails. truffle oil dinner & afternoon pots of tea, movies (in the mood for love, nick & norah's infinite playlist, ugestsu) and walking home through streets with the long-lost. at a lecture in the senior common room tonight, we listened to the second movement from beethoven's piano sonata no. 32 in c minor - all the quarter hour way through. i had never listened properly before. still wrapped in sweaters, winter coats and the comfortable weight of years, we were lost in the quiet.
