The Hibernation Period: Under the Shelter of a Soundscape.

Alisha and I have been moving under the bulk of a typical uni semester workload but we have good food and music to keep us running. I thought I'd do a short life update to assure readers we're alive in the real world (and the virtual realm so to speak.)

What have you been listening to?

For music: the online magazine about other people - Warhol's Children. Interviews, artist spotlights, topical articles and a music playlist every Thursday on Youtube and Spotify to keep us sane - check it out here. 


What have you been reading?

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami.

Note: This book is a massive tome (because its a compilation of 3 books in one) but I don't mind. Sometimes, I start a book and leave it for a while before coming back - if I'm in the right mood. So far, I've been introduced to the mind of a quiet female assassin, a ghost writer and an odd teenager. There's a slight mystery vibe happening there - surreal contemporary fiction - just another genre blender.

The Tower at Stony Wood by Patricia Mckillip.

Note: I think the quest -> tower -> maiden -> dragon plot is usually straightforward but this novel circles around characters who are stuck inside their own personal worlds and tasks in an intuitive way. Patricia Mckillip is the queen of intertwining character stories in a mythical setting through beautiful lyrical writing.

*You can track my reading progress at Good Reads.

**I might do a dare come summer time and read the infamous 50 Shades of Grey if Alisha drops it into my lap.

What have you been watching?

I'm 8 episodes behind in How I Met Your Mother. I usually watch Korean Variety Shows like Running Man for a good laugh these days.


That's all from me.

We'll be back around summer time in Oz for regular posts.

*Perhaps, sooner.
