things which made me happy today
- my morning walk on the street curved along the beach
- books. im currently reading "muhammad" (a historical biography; i'm trying to read a historical biography of the "founders" or figureheads of every major religion...so far i've read about jesus and there was not much information to satisfy but this specific book about muhammad is telling me that more is known about him than any other religious figurehead so i am really excited! everything in the book so far seems sound and profound and intelligent) as well as "malgudi days" (i am a little let down by the first story...it was a little "been there done that" but the indian community seems to venerate this piece of work so i want to try a few more stories and see how i feel) -- my reading life has been overall extremely satisfying lately.
- podcasts. japanese with shun and 社畜請上車. shun is so quirky...sometimes i think he's about to talk about something basic and cliché but he pulls out some random crap about how he once got drunk at age 10. and 社畜請上車 is hilarious and consistently makes me laugh
- "pom poko" (will finish later but so far very captivating)
- we're getting gelato later and i'm happy just thinking about it
