one of those rare days
i have quite a bit of work to catch up on, and a stack of scores waiting to be learnt up, but feel about as motivated as… well… a cat learning to swim, perhaps. it must be the summer air, the cicadas, the sound of fireworks outside… everything is so intensely summer, i feel as if [...]
