I love you! Terrified of being the last Japanese speaker of my mother's bloodline I went to a "Japanese Discussion Group" at the Red Lion in Soho and met a wild older Japanese woman who does patterns for a living. Like, for the seat cushions on the tube, I think. This was the same night I dropped £144 on a language-learning app (which I haven't touched since). Everything can be functionalized and monetised! Grateful for the reminder to resist. Last night I made a for-pleasure-only (read: not for a theatre production or workshop) Spotify Playlist FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER (I know) and Gretchen had to come check on me in the shower because I was stomping around so frenetically to the beat of my in-ear waterproof bluetooths that she was worried I was having a seizure. Here's to many more hours of doing things just for pleasure.

This looks fun. I'm taking an art workshop in Shropshire this summer. You might be bored but might love it. Let me know if you want info. It's be fun - and intimidating - to have you there.
