view from the couch

this city is really gorgeous.


started leaving the house this week after 3 days in the hermitage. with lola as a chauffeur, we visited twin peaks. lola, quite shamefully, had never been there. near sunset, the fog can be outstanding as it rolls over the rest of the city.

so we get out some days. but we spend a lot of time in the hermitage. most days are filled with netflix (both netflix proper and the original public library netflix), books, internet, and the olympics - oh thank god for the olympics! its amazing how captivating synchronized diving can be when you're on painkillers. favorite athlete so far: this dude. first olympic medal ever for his country. and he was so pumped when he scored the bronze, he snapped his paddle in half.

had some ideas for things to do while sitting idly on the couch: could learn guitar or piano (anyone got a portable piano?), but by far the instrument i most want to play is accordion. not exactly a good instrument for traveling though.

lola wants to build something while we've got the time: leisure sport game, a kite, furniture, or a computer. i'm more into building something practical.

hey, it's me, hobocan blog's #1 subscriber.

my favorite athlete in the olymplics is this Ksenia with an i that i keep hearing about - though i don't have a tv and am not addicted to the olympics like everyone else around. thank goodness now people believe me my name is not something I just made up. though olympics are a very good diversion for your couchboundness.

i like how you have more posts about the ankle than almost about anything else. boredom breeds excellence and creativity.
