It’s been a while, I ordered some new books:
Natsume Soseki - I Am A Cat
Paul Auster - Timbuktu
Hideo Okuda - 町長選挙
I can’t wait for the postman to deliver them. I haven’t read an Auster book for quite a while (the last one was “The Music of Chance”) and with the new Okuda book I can finally complete his hilarious “psychiatrist Irabu”-series (highly...

Oh, and I’m currently reading this. I don’t understand shit. I had hoped it would be an easy introduction into Buddhism but after only 30 pages into the book it’s already so confusing and basically only a list of technical terms that aren’t really explained.
Hope it’s getting better (easier) soon.
I generally don’t make resolutions but 2012 has brought some changes to my life. I live much healthier, cook more often and so on. I seem into that. More self-made lemonade now.

Amount of sleep I’ve had so far: none.

Almost midnight. Just squashed a couple of lemons, located the long-forgotten ice cubes in one of the back corners of the refrigerator and made myself some great lemonade. It’s still pretty warm outside, my clothes are all sticky and stuff. Guess I’ll read a little. Might finish my book tonight (third book in one week. I’m almost back at my regular pace).
I love this time of the...

Personal Murakami fun fact
I just remembered it. I don’t know if I told any of you guys about it, but when I first read 1Q84 I suspected that the Aomame plot wasn’t actually happening. I thought it might be the story Tengo writes throughout the book. There are several hints in the book that made me believe this, like Tengo writing about that two-mooned world and a few other details. Just about halfway through...

Bored again:
[[MORE]]1:Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
Closed.
2:Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?
I rarely ever sleep in hotels and when I do, I bring my own stuff.
3:Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
Tucked in. Wasn’t even aware there were people who don’t tuck them in. 4:Have you ever stolen a street sign before?
Never.
5:Do...
Slacking with my reading again.
Made up for that today and read 200 pages in one go. Will finish that book tomorrow.
