    When dreams made real become less sweet, the orchid and the metal.

    One week of reading Demons, and I am on page 49. Remarkable progress now that I'm into the second chapter. It introduces the character of Nikolai Vsevlodovich Stavrogin, Varvara Petrovna's only child. The storyline has streamlined, in that the plot is kicking in. I'm starting to REALLY enjoy it.

    My brain seems to be gravitating towards lefthandedness. I noticed today, during breakfast at the Commodore, that I quantify everything. I was measuring the sugar for my coffee by spoonfuls, so I could create a duplicable metric. Definitely left brained behaviour, right? It makes me wonder because I was reading before I noticed this, and now I wonder about what hemisphere is mostly in control of the process of reading. It's a visual spatial kinetic deciphering of language that is meant to connote speech, action, motive, image, and a poetic process of being art. So at what point do left brained people start reading more business books and right brained people read comic books?

    "Because if it's not love, then it's the bomb, the bomb, the bomb that will bring us together."

    Good improvised drink recipe: Equal amounts 7-Up and orange juice (I used canned Minute Maid) with a generous portion of Bombay Sapphire. Delicious and very few ill effects.

    "I passed out on the fourteenth floor. The CPR was so erotic."

    For the record, I love my Moleskine weekly planner for 2008. It's red and has an elastic around the front and stickers and a removable journal. Also, my Semikolon journal is nice. It's a deep gray clothbound journal with watermarked pages and an elastic loop that holds a matching pencil. I sketched out two little ideas of pieces of writing in it at breakfast today, but since I don't intend to write anything, I might just add it to the pile of things I've thought about but never acted on. 

    Is hesitation noble?
