Living in the age of convenience

taiwanese grass jelly herb (3.1/5) (cooling, bitter mint sensation that feels light but has an intense climate. apparently, when steeped with agar agar or gelatin, it can thicken into a jelly. however, i would prefer to drink the herb as is.) "And surely you have seen, in the darkness of the most innermost rooms of these huge buildings, to which sunlight never penetrates, how the gold lead of a sliding door or screen will pick up a distant glimmer from the garden, then suddenly send forth an ethereal glow, a faint golden light cast into the enveloping darkness. How in such a dark place, gold draws so much light to itself is a mystery to me. Modern man, in his well-lit house, knows nothing of the beauty of gold, but those who lived in the dark houses of the past were not merely captivated by its beauty, they also knew its practical value, for gold in these dim rooms, must have served the function of a reflector. Were it not for shadows, there would be no beauty." Tanizaki'...

i love you!

happy valentine's day


 So you reached a new zenith of beauty. 

So the immaculate was waiting to fall deadly at my

feet. Muscles that have swollen so tenderly,

caresses that mute sovereign speech—you lock a makeshift

"I" inside yourself.


You stargaze at the "it" that turns the shutters against me, 

you become blinded and all little things take on a miraculous significance.

The world was left vast

waiting for you in an instant. 

I was the trespasser in your land of the uncanny.


You thought me beautiful 

when I seemed beyond recognition

and your face became my own
