scrambled head

what do you do when you can't sleep, think straight, or remember what the will to live feels like?
apparently a cup of tea helps.
especially when it has been preceded by a gong fu ceremony, a sort of mystic exercise mixing tai-chi with the most pedantic way of making tea i've ever witnessed.
life seems at least bearable, and quite pleasant knowing that it's only gonna get easier.

and i'd like to congratulate antoine, for finishing what he had to finish.

and thanks to all my friends, for your inexorable indulgence. it staggers me. you overwhelm me.
