What do you do when you've detected an unhealthy amount of obsessive behaviour in your daily routine? I'll tell you what. You force yourself to do something different. In my case, stop thinking about Korea was my motto.

I tend to get obsessed with things (knitting, cooking, pigeons you name it) and it usually gets to the point where I have to tell myself to stop. With all this visa paperwork and research in preparation for my trip to Korea, it's all I've been thinking about. In a effort to prepare myself I've been imagining what it will be like to live across the world all by myself, I guess so that it won't be such a shock. However, the last week and half or so I've had nightmares almost every night, and so I think I might be scaring myself a little. I'm going to do more of the things I enjoy, and accept that I can't prepare for everything.



Stare in the morning shroud
and then the day began
I tilted your cloud
You tilted my hand
Rain falls in real time
and rain fell through the night
No dress rehearsal, this is our life

The words are from "Ahead by a Century" by The Tragically Hip, and the duck is one Chris took a picture of a few weeks ago, that I painted in acrylic on paper.
