Take A Chance On Me by ABBA 🎧

grad school aka reading about the Novum Organum on wiki bc i understand nothing about Baconian empiricism

herdrafts These are the books that arrived in my September bookmail: Emily Dickinson collected poems and Public Library by Ali Smith. In the past few weeks as I run out of physical books, and I didn’t feel like reading any ebooks, I’ve been rereading the secret history, updating its review, and reading an interesting cultural-fiction about family life and traditions from a small town in Taiwan called A Thousand Moons on a Thousand Rivers by Li-Hung Hsiao. It does helped me to get out from a sudden reading slump.

Penguin classics always has the best cover. I’m determined to collect them all.

This week has been so hectic and stressful, yesterday I straight up crashed at 6pm and woke up ten hours later with a really sore neck 😖

today is a beautiful day. the roads are quieter than usual so I could hear the birds chirping from outside.
