Unconscious Mutterings Word Association
- Glass castle:: We just put fake ice in the little sink-thing on top of our toilet. Don't know why, but that's the first thing that comes to mind. Then I think of a Ramune bottle. After that, I go to the few glass structures that we learned about in Architecture History whose names I've long forgotten.
- Preserved:: My brother drank three-snake wine in China last week. It's wine that is so strong, it preserves the THREE DEAD SNAKES that are soaking in it. Yum.
- Jealousy:: Oh, jealousy. My mind draws a blank. Hrm. I'm jealous of.. nothing right now. That's good.
- Territory:: Where did countries ever get the idea that expanding into other people's territory was a good idea? Seen 'Hotel Rwanda?'
- Coffee:: Japan really doesn't have great coffee. I started drinking more coffee than usual last summer in Dallas. Espresso, imported fair trade coffees... Good stuff. Now, it seems like everything here is roasted until it's burnt and then boiled like crazy. I don't know why it tastes so terrible. Maybe it's the Tokyo water (not that Tokyo water is bad.. but there are a ton of chemicals in it that might do weird things when heated...)? The last time I had coffee to drink was Thursday night, when I pulled the all-nighter for PechaKucha. Jeff made it-- his first time!-- and it wasn't half bad. Long story short- In America, I drink my coffee black; in Japan, I have to ask the waitress for more sugar and creamer than is on the table.
- Stephen:: Honestly, the first thing that comes to mind is Stephen from Laguna Beach. I got addicted to junk TV in Dallas. It was nice to have the time to be able to watch a few solid hours of reality shows and the like every evening. Beat studying Japanese. Then, I bought the iMac and the TV went into hibernation. Moral of the story: Marble Blast Gold wins out over MTV and FOX.
- Slut:: I hate that word. It's derogatory and sexist.
- Dynamic:: Dynamic makes me think of computer programming and then of Archi-speak. I should have used that word more in presentations, I think.
- Daybreak:: I've seen two of these in the past week. That's about 600% more than usual. I like being up early in the morning by default-- a.k.a. staying up past sunrise. I dread waking up that early, though. It doesn't matter what time I went to bed- if I wake up and it's still dark outside or the sun is just rising, I'm tired.
- Dew:: Dew. Leads me to think about mildew. And there are a few spots of it growing on one of our windows. A humid apartment has its drawbacks.
