I am procrastinating. I hate it when I do this. It feels outside myself. I know I could knock it off.
In my pursuit of furthering my procrastinatory perfection, I went through a file called "need to file." I don't even know what half of this stuff is. I found this... I wrote it over a year ago, but I have no idea why or what inspired me. It's a little embarrassing. But that is what blogs are for, isn't it? Embarrassing ourselves for a later, eye-covered future?
I like
- Birds and trees. I go through stages of certain favorites. My current favorite bird is a crane. Almost any crane will do, but I like the subtly of the Sandhill Crane.
- My current favorite tree is a white-barked eucalyptus, they are like lazy-day sentinals with mottled muted trunks that remind me of whales or dolphins underwater.
- I like that my cat is a talker. He comes into the house and he offers a meow to see if I am home.
- I like the light in the mornings.
- I like paper. I like ink and paper. I like bookbindings and pages.
- I like a book with a good cover design.
- I like when people call me Mar. So familiar and friendly.
