Day 108: Darjeeling

Still coughing like a mad dog.  My Tea & Sympathy post would have been perfect today.  I survived my first day with my class, though.  I know I could have done better, but considering how I came in not expecting to be able to run it without passing out before the first hour ends, I'd have to say I'm happy to have survived the day.  I'm now taking another large dosage of vitamin C and Guaifenesin for the damned cough.  Downing it with some lovely Darjeeling tea.  I guess, that's my silver lining today.

Don't wake me, I plan on Sleeping In (The Postal Service).

Day 96: In My Cupboard

I was looking around trying to find something to photograph today.  My initial plan of going out to take a shot went down the drain the moment I felt the sun on my window.  It feels like my lazy week.  So, no.  I'm not going out to take shots.  I'm staying in and having everything delivered if God will permit such indolence.  This, my friends, is my cupboard.  Or what's inside it.  At least, it's the cupboard containing most of my unused things.  Empty wine and vodka bottles, vitamin bottles, coffee and tea cups, coffee press cover, plastic cups, a wineglass, a candlestick holder, saucers, chopsticks and a vintage frame.  

If this laziness persists, by the time I end this project, I'd have taken a picture of every inch of this apartment.  

Day 51: Sunday Tea

I caught up with a friend today.  It was a good Sunday to detoxify and have a good conversation over tea.  We've spent countless times at this Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf branch talking about nothing and anything.  We don't get to do that as often as we used to, but we're trying to keep up. 

I personally prefer lounging days like these, when you can enjoy the lazy buzz of the city.  I like watching the world move from church to food to movies, or whatever order is more convenient.  I particularly like long conversations at al fresco tables paired with good food and/or whatever drink suits you.  Add a little soul jazz (currently, Soon We'll Be Found - Sia) or whatever music to compliment it and you have yourself a perfect day to unwind.

Day 47: Tea & Sympathy

My creative muse seems to have abandoned me today.  This is an obstacle in this project, which I knew was going to eventually happen.  So, around the time I started, I came up with a list of things to mitigate these lull times and still allow me to progress with the project.  One of my "plans" was to put my iTunes on shuffle, press play, and use whatever song that comes up to conceptualize a photo.  Tea and Sympathy (Jars of Clay) played.  Ergo, the photo above.
