So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Day 3, Incre
Sunday. 2.3.13 12:44 pm
I ventured, for the second time in my life, into the small calligraphy store in the cobblestone alley near my house. The place is kind of intimidating, and what's more, it's usually always closed. I took a look at the calligraphy inks. They came in every imaginable color. I finally summoned the courage to ask the gloomy-looking shopkeeper for his opinion. I carefully unrolled my new calligraphy set. "I got this as a gift," I said, not mentioning that it was a gift from myself. "But I need to buy some ink."

"Did you get this gift recently?" he asked.
"Yes, for Christmas." He looked puzzled.
"It was from a garage sale," I explained, regretting having described it as a gift.
"Ah," he said, "Because I know the man who has made this calligraphy set, but he has been retired now for a long time."

He got out of his seat and came over to the inks. With a flourish, he opened a secret cabinet and started running through dozens of bottles.

"What color do you want?" he asked.
"Black," I said. There was one black pot of ink sitting out on display.

He couldn't find any black inks in the cupboard. "There isn't any more black ink." His eyes fluttered towards the one on display. I could tell that he didn't want to sell it, for whatever reason... it was his last black one. He looked back at my velvet calligraphy set.

"You can have the one on the display," he finally said. The last pot of black ink, for the girl who will bring his old friend's long-neglected calligraphy set back to life!



Then I went to a giant mall and bought myself a beautiful object that I didn't need:



I'm going to put pastries in it I think, after the candle is gone.





My church crush wasn't at church today, so I left pretty soon after the service. French A a arr�t� de me faire des bisous. Je ne sais pas pourquoi. I took the m�tro two stops past my station so that I could walk home in the pouring rain. Ok, so I was mostly doing research for my supernatural/demon/historical/action thriller that I am writing. There is going to be a lot of action in the subway tunnel two stations away from my home station. But after that, I was walking home in the pouring rain.

I saw this notice, it is a show that they're putting on down at the Folies Berg�re with the theme of "Depression":


It is sponsored by Kleenex, Nutella, Ben and Jerry's, and the Snuggle fabric softening bear. They invited a bunch of singers to come and sing their most depressing songs, and everyone is supposed to come in dark clothing. You could win a one-way second-class ticket to Lourdes (which is apparently a tiny town in the Pyr�n�es). I kind of wanted to go but it was sold out. I guess everyone else must be depressed, too. Something about non-stop freezing, pouring rain.

france is stupid..

It seems odd to me that they'd have a show revolving around depression as a theme that wasn't about... overcoming depression. Makes me wonder how depression is viewed in other countries.
» randomjunk on 2013-02-03 06:20:34

I really like the idea of a depression show--it's very frustrating that depression is such a taboo in the US. Also, the best of sponsors.

I don't know what the description for French A but I know after that you said "you don't know why". My pitiful French vocabulary still exists!

Your calligraphy set looks beautiful!

Depression... people here call that mood swing.

That's so neat, he gave you his last black ink! I can't wait to see some of your calligraphy, yay!

Um, the depression themed show sounds really neat. And I couldn't help but notice the sponsors as well! It's such a gloomy poster, then there at the bottom, it's Snuggles! I don't know why but that tickles me.

I didn't get any nachoooooos. But my day was still okay. Maybe I'll eat nachos today...
