Fotografia

• It has been quite a week for nostalgia.  I'm reading Jules Verne's The Master of the World and enjoying it in spite of its simple plot.  After my Vernian reading phase of five (?) years ago, I moved on to other authors, but this puts me in the mood for classic steampunk again.  


• Talk about nostalgia...school supplies!  This fall - fourth year of college already?!? - there's nothing I actually need.  I would like to try those new "NoteBinders"/refillable notebooks, though, and use up all my extra paper from old notebooks.


• Right now, I'm listening to Yiruma's Best/10th anniversary album.  Just gorgeous.  My favorite track today is "Fotografia."


• Been thinking about the concept of the "capsule" wardrobe.  I absolutely love minimalism, so the idea of having a few go-to pieces/outfits is especially appealing.  The tricky part is planning around Pacific Northwest seasons, which is something like 50% spring/fall, 30% winter, and 20% summer, erring on the side of rain (except this summer, haha).  If I take the capsule wardrobe and redistribute it with that ratio in mind, it should be about right.


• My immediate goal is to really get something artsy done this week.  Sewing and reading, hopefully!


• Which is to say...lately I've been feeling extremely unmotivated.  Not for lack of ideas, but lack of focus.  The older I get, the shorter becomes my attention span, strangely enough.  Anybody else experience this?
