i'm in stockholm! i have arrived! it's raining and grey but the windows are so very bright. it's an odd contrast, there are hardly any curtains. it's like the citizens are committed to projecting their warmth outside and letting in whatever light there is. drab buildings are pretty well transformed by these windows, they look theatrical, as if they'd been made for me looking in as much as a thing to be living within. all a building needs to be beautiful is to let its residents make themselves known.

i am so happy to be here with k. i am addled with tiredness so that i suffer from it subtly, like a drunk denying drunkenness. i don't believe it's actually changed the functioning of my body and mind, but i'm really not one to drop forks, to tie my shoes at epic length. i have a phone card and i am going to have such fun. i think this post is really quite boring.
