man, I was really down yesterday. I won't go into it, to avoid dwelling on it and inviting the mood to return, linger. today's good though. okay, I didn't wake up near as early as I'd hoped: I only managed to watch 10 minutes of Pokémon before falling back asleep, but I've showered, eaten and done some work :)

I've been reading the book on Nietszche from Oxford Uni Press's Very Short Introductions series and I'm enjoying it so much I've had to make a second flask (because Japan doesn't understand the concept of 'mugs': they're half the size they need to be) of Earl Grey. But before returning to the book I'm here to check mail just quickly.. I say 'quickly' but I pressed 'play' in Spotify where I had Martha Wainwright's "I Know You're Married But I Have Feelings Too" album, which I'd not heard before and it's too good to leave.. Today I'm glad to be alone, but it's probably best that I ask someone to make sure I go out and buy food. oh.
