Should I buy myself a train ticket to Kyoto and walk around listening to this on repeat, reading poetry anthologies compiled in that city 800 years ago? Should I?
Somehow things have gone from people asking if I will be at EAJS to people assuming I will be there. I have no idea how this happened but to clarify - I will not be at EAJS 2026.
There is a part of me that had hoped I would love another piano more but playing it is like being in the presence of gods and now there is no way back.
How is your PhD going? What are you working on? Who are you working with?
It's this and that. I think I'm fine. I say I'm fine. I've been recording music for the past month.
A month ago I decided that I need new music to listen to while working. So I composed, recorded, and kind of edited it (still learning). Now I have a playlist. If I continue this way, my PhD will have a soundtrack 🫠
