Everything is illuminated

August 18, 2006

is the title of a book by Safran Foer. I haven’t read it yet, but it’s on my shelf. I have always appreciated the title, though. I think it’s a wonderful way of expressing how life should be, illuminated in everything we do.

One of my necklace is particularly meaningful to me. When I wear it, I can see in people’s eyes excitment and joy. It has a word written in the clay: SHINE.

Quite a shit day

August 18, 2006

yesterday. But I’m confident today it will be better. I’m well rested: I slept avoiding all the jet lag troubles. I’m going out this morning, trying to focus on something different from books, pc, and the fight with my boyfriend.
