And

oh, it snowed today!
loving this blog
and so excited that Norweigan Wood is finally being released in the US!

These January Days

*umeboshi plums, walnut butter, meyer lemon slices in water
*exercising, finally (the ballet didn't stick...)
*thoughts of green sprouts creeping in--even though spring is a long ways away
*the book proposal almost done, finally!
*dzongsar khyentse (listening to old teachings, reading his books)
*sundance next week, so many movies sound good, like this
*this avocado cacao shake
*making bath bombs and lotion bars for belated gifts
*still wrapped in layers of wool. in blankets and boots,
*kumquat clementine celery salad from super natural cooking
*anticipating receiving my first ever issue of 3191 Quarterly
*looking forward to moonrise kingdom, the new wes anderson movie!

what to write? why so hard to make myself practice, to work on the book? the book that doesn’t want to be written. perhaps? or the book that won’t be written. all week I so wanted to write, to work on the book, but  was too busy doing more pressing things; now the urge has fled. how to get it back? force, wrangle it? oh how I love the interruptions—to check a blog, my email.

creamy milk tea, creamy honey milk tea.
