HE SAID, MARIE, MARIE, HOLD ON TIGHT

And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.
In the mountains, there you feel free.
I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter.

Monday, April 09, 2007

i flew in and out of la guardia airport in less than a day. it was like a dream. one minute i was talking to daniella about going to the supermarket opposite to buy food, the next minute i was back, washing plates.

as i flew in, the afternoon sun fell on the face of manhattan skyline and the hudson, and it took my breath away. new york will always be the city of myths.

on another note, i got notification that my application to teach in china was passed. so if all goes well (visas, etc etc) i will be (oh my goodness) in the yantai city in shandong teaching english in may. (oh please please let all be good)

after a fallout with myself, i am starting to amaze myself again.

amazement what a beautiful word.
