The members of my family I don't currently live with
Miss them every minute of every day. Will reunite soon.
books - what I'm reading right now
Right now I'm reading this:
http://www.europaeditions.com/book/9781933372716/a-day-in-the-life-of-ancient-rome
It's interesting. There are lots of things in it I didn't know before. For instance, Angela informs the reader that in Roman times. all reading was done aloud, even when you were on your own. That silent reading didn't occur until much later, in convents, when silent reading was introduced so as to not disturb the prayers and meditations of others.
Could this really be true I still wonder? The nature of writing and reading is so often about words that are better kept silent - or secret? WHERE IS MY TIME TRAVELING MACHINE FOR FACT CHECKING THIS?????
Also reading - or rather listening - to this:
And yes, like everyone else, am reading Elena Ferrante, but am reading so slowly. It is magnetic in its way but dense like truffle. I can only take a little piece at a time.

This book is itself like a time machine. It feels so authentic, I don't know if I've ever read another book that's made me feel like I'm really there like a fly on the wall in the room, here shared by Lämmchen and Hannes.

BONAFIDE BLOGGER!!
LOOK! I CAN POSE WITH COSMETICS! Like a real, bonafide blogger!
What is this you wonder? Is it my new lipsmacker hat?
No, it's lipstick for people who can't wear lipstick. It's Fresh's colored lip balm.
I love this stuff.
Life in Stockholm these days
We see friends, we go to Skansen, we go to museums, we watch Netflix. New season of Puss in boots is fine.
Went to NYC

Me and Joel.
Going back again soon, will bring Niki this time. The whole family together again. Can't wait.
