I wasn’t sure what time it was, though I really didn’t care. Sitting on the base of the shower, time didn’t seem to exist. The hot water running down my head, over my nose, back and shoulders, felt like a way of remaining in stasis.

It is 5AM, and you are listening, to Los Angeles.

Surprisingly, it is still AM when I finally decide to come out. A tie is hung over where my towels should be, and I cannot remember how it got there. I start to wonder whether I did drink last night, and concluded, based on balance, that it was probably true. My macbook would later confirm this, with pictures. University life.

I review my week ahead. The following comes to mind: I have a client to deal with on Wednesday about a dismissal case. Cake-baking with friends on Monday, Land Law seminar due on Wednesday, coursework due Friday, and birthday parties on Tuesday and Friday. Busy week.

Peering outside the window reveals snow, a surprise because winter is technically over. An urge of reminder, of ambition and dreams and creativity wannabe. I push aside the listed obligations and rush out the flat, headed to the exact spot in which I took this photo 3 months ago.

I wanted a winter version, part of a project I, she, set for me. I prayed for a blanketed courtyard, but the more I walked, the more it was revealed how the reality outside was not as snowy as had been seen from the inside. It was too warm, and the snow could not settle. And when I entered, I saw nothing but greenery. There was no snow to capture, there was nothing here for me.

I suppose I was disappointed. It would mean waiting another year. I shrug, sigh, and head back home to reply my internship email.

You are listening to the radioman, and the radioman laughs, because the radioman fucks the models too.

Anyway,

Check out these awesome buttons I bought!

I haven’t decided where to put the ones I have in that first pic above yet. It might clutter the bag, and it looked really ugly when I stuck them all to that one side. Suggestions?
