do you struggle with focus? is your brain a little wonky? pleas don't say it's just me. i found the book the last samurai in the library downstairs and figured maybe it's a sign from god. i tried it years ago in my studio apartment and put it down. lately i tried her new book and put it down. now the last samurai doesn't seem as off-putting, maybe because my library queue has halted, and maybe my brain changed. something's in the air these days i can't put my finger on. reductio ad absurdum it occurs to me.
