Reaping the goods...
All right, here’s the post where I put down what I received for Christmas because I suppose that’s the big trend making its blogging rounds at the moment. To be truthful, I had no idea what to ask for for Christmas, so I reverted to my safe staple: books.

2. Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut
3. On the Road by Jack Kerouac

Breathing with new intake
It is extremely difficult not to imagine that I am in a foreign countryside whenever I fly back to my home. I do not mean foreign in such a way that I feel as a stranger does in my home, but I mean that my home and the land it sits upon is so perfectly beautiful.
