Snow again

While the snow was a big surprise when it started coming down last month, it has not been a pleasant surprise lately. Today, coming home from work I had to waddle in order to arrive home without slipping and falling into the path of oncoming cars.

My girlfriend is deeply unhappy and very busy and I wish I could be there to comfort her when she needs it. Then again, I seem to be proving myself to be quite inept at comforting anybody, even myself sometimes.

I finished Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby last week and enjoyed it immensely. This week I am reading the local library's English copy of Ryu Murakami's Coin Locker Babies which also seems to be rather good if totally different to the Hornby book.

  1. Hey Marc, I don't know where you live but me and a few of the Sinjuku screw were going to hit up a bar after we get out of work this or next Wednesday, since we won't be working together anymore come April. You ins?

    I finished High Fidelity. Honestly kind of hated the last 100 pages, but still decent. Unless you wanna lend me Juliet, Naked I'm not sure I'll read him again haha. I'm on "Hokkaido Hitchhiking Blues" now, it's a winner. Anyhow. Take care bud!
