On Our Way
Hey all, here we go! Day 1: Yesterday, Chris and I wandered around Douliu with Bunny, a Taiwanese friend of mine here. Unfortunately, I have no pictures, because…I have an iPad, and no other camera. And it’s…difficult to drag it out every time I want to take a picture. But I can talk!! We had bubble tea, and shaved ice (yea, it’s cold here, no that didn’t discourage us at all. Haha.) Then we met…

Coffee Shop Talk 4, Autumn Nests and Things
I’m sure you all have noticed that I have not written anything lately. Quite simply, I had lost my inspiration somehow. I don’t know if it was the weather-the unending heat and oppressive smoke-the northwest has been afflicted with recently, or if I just ran out of ideas. Regardless the reason, it has taken me almost four months to get back to jabbing on these keys in the vain attempt at…

Indian Summer
This is my favorite time of year; When the winds begin to blow, And the trees toss their leaves. The pumpkins, are bright jewels in the field, Their mottled skins glistening: Green, orange, gold. Potatoes are pulled protesting, from the crumbling brown-grey earth, And the last beans are plucked from their yellow vines. This is my favorite time of year; When rosehips like large rubies, Emerge from…

“The Moment You’ve All Been Waiting For”
Okay, so I’m not entirely sure why I’ve this sudden urge to quote every last song I’ve heard, but it’s happening. Everywhere. I told a customer at work the other day that “It’s beginning to look a lot like Summer” in a slightly off-key version of that Christmas favorite. (I’m not even in the mood for Christmas music yet!) And here I am again, quoting a classic pop song. Badly. As usual. Anyway,…
