Isogashi or Wasoreru? Both?

I just found out that the kanji for busyness and forgetting combines the symbols for "heart" and "to die." So being busy or not having memories is your heart dying? Kind of profound... That makes me think of all the Japanese dramas I've watched where everybody is always talking about making memories...or the sadness of not having memories... I need to move on to Josei manga and abandon the shoujo...

Nadia - My Friend

This is simply a shout-out to my friend Nadia. She's my hero and has taught me so much...about architecture, professionalism, life... I'm so grateful that I've met her and and that she's been there for me. She's the sister I've always wanted. I may be M.I.A. sometimes, but she's never too far from my thoughts. I'm wishing her all the happiness and love the world has to offer. Nadia, if you ever feel a breeze and a little warmth hit you from our Florida sun, know that I'm thinking of you, giving you all the positive energy this perpetually down-in-the-dumps Eeyore can muster.

P.S. Tedious tasks seem to be good for the heartbroken. I'm making a tiny paper chain for an equally tiny Christmas tree. Stay tuned...

P.P.S. I love paper.
