Coffee.

not a great/the best way to kickstart the Monday morning.

it's only 鸳鸯 (which is a fancy name for coffee+tea basically), which isn't half bad (the tea bit's my only consolation), but still, i anticipate the consequences for me tonight would be quite dire... Which is why coffee is a/my last resort for any situation, quite literally. But i just can't afford to mull the work day away in zombie mode (so much analysis work to be done, urgh!), so drastic measures had to be taken.

i also dislike how coffee leaves a sticky feeling in your mouth/against your teeth-

not that it matters much since i have toothpaste and a toothbrush in my office drawer and i brush teeth every time i'm bored/after i've eaten my meals/i'm really stressed/i do remember...

i'm just hoping i'll be able to sleep tonight.

---------------------------------

after hearing rave reviews of limitless from I and WH, and other random sources which i have conveniently forgotten, i'm kind of missing the feeling of sitting in a dark room surrounded by strangers, watching a big screen and munching on some popcorn. mmmm.

---------------------------------

it's a bit silly but i like to do small things that make me feel like i'm recreating the protagonists of movies or books or dramas that i've watched/read. Things like making milo sludge for breakfast (like Haname of 'Instant Numa'), doing the running-man finger on railings (like Cassie from Skins), picking up pebbles from random places and putting them in my pockets (like Amelie of 'Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain')

small things like that.

---------------------------------

a bit sad because my (occasional) lunch buddy got a job (yay for Nono) that's 234568654123 miles away from his home, which is like 200 metres away from my office, which means no more lunch buddy for me.

it's not too bad actually-

i've always liked solitary lunches spent wolfing down my lunch, buying a drink, and then sitting at the temple to write postcards. Maybe a book would be nice.
