I have Instagram now. Jumped on the bandwagon after…well, long enough.

Also, may be scarce again because I’m moving here…

 

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I’m about halfway through this – just gets weirder and weirder:

 

After I finish this, I have Victor Pelevin’s “Buddha’s Little Finger” and Haruki Murakami’s “IQ84” to look forward to…also added a bunch of horror books to my GoodReads list.

It’s been entirely too long since I last posted on here…five months too long, to be exact. My trip to Guam got cancelled at the last minute, but I’ve made up for it by taking a few day trips to (somewhat) local national parks. This past weekend, I visited both Royal Gorge and Rocky Mountain National Park. I think I’ll make another attempt to see Rocky Mountain National Park in a few months, because it was far too cold and windy to do anything there.

Otherwise, I’ve mostly been reading, completing schoolwork, and badly lagging on social media updates.  I recently finished Atlas Shrugged, and started The Master and Margarita. I’ve also spent shameful amounts of time and money buying shoes.  Below are some of the shoes I bought:

I’ve found that the Ahnu “Belmont” shoes (third down) are the best for snow.  While I’ve got better plans for them in the future, I’ve mainly been swapping them out with other shoes so that I can walk out into the snow without drenching my feet.

Also, jumped on the Mad Men bandwagon fairly late.  I’ve been catching up for the past month or so and just finished Season 5 this week.  Can’t wait until April when the new season starts!  Also, while I’m on the topic of amazing shows, have some Walking Dead:

Out of boredom, I created my 22nd pinterest board last night, devoted to propaganda posters.  After pinning a number of different posters, I realized that I’ve never posted anything on here about propaganda posters.  So, here are some of my favorite Soviet, Chinese, and Korean posters from my board!
