    I feel it once again and still it hits me like a train

    My eleventh hour has come at last / to save me, I’d think, but it’s just the station’s closing.

    time, cappuccino, grilled cheese sandwich

    It was that last line: like thunder in an otherwise quiet night. There was a good paragraph between that last line and the last one I had read but when I turned the page my eyes landed right where the word time was printed just as thoughts of kronos were entering my mind. Maybe it…

    The Day My Old Canon 1100D Saved Me

    Flow and music, after the new keyboard arrived

    I had one like this some ten-ish years ago but I don’t really remember how that went. Just that, it was a forgettable thing, so I didn’t even realize when the old keyboard left the house. Hahaha. I’ve been drawn to music these days and apparently when you let yourself go ‘with the flow’ you…
