So far dnc is my favourite dps class in and out of battle. I'm sorry drg, but to be fair I've barely spent time gposing drg.

Lv 80 glam before I rack my brain to come up with one worthy of the Hades weapon.

We Want What We Want

Somehow I've ended up reading a good amount of short story collections. I'm not entirely sure what the theme of this collection is, other than what the title says, but perhaps desire?

One quotation I noted:

Kelsey had suggested eloping - she thought it would be funny if they got married at city hall and then went through the drive-thru at In-N-Out in a white dress and tux - but Graham was convinced that ultimately she'd look back on it with regret. He didn't want to begin their life together with no sense of occasion. He believed in the need for symbols and trappings, the consecration of moments. Otherwise life was a mess of emotions, fraught and terrible, lacking form to contain them. Kelsey said, "If it means I get to taste a lot of cake, I'm okay with it.

Some snippets from readings that I forgot to post:

(The Haunting of Hill House)

(I don't remember, is this from Seasons of Blossom?)

Also, why does the Goodreads mobile website not automatically add the date when you mark a book as read -_- I guess I'll track the number of books I read this year through Libby.

You Are Eating An Orange, You Are Naked

I saw in the description of this book that it is similar to Murakami, that's all it took to convince me to read it. Though I didn't mind much similarities, other than the overall vibe maybe? The style is not even too close. The book does give me a very uncanny feeling because 1) the main setting is Toronto and I've been to a lot of the places mentioned and 2) the asian-canadian experience. 

Nonetheless I enjoyed the book, and this quotation in particular because it is far too relatable:

I still wonder if telling you the story "Snow in June" when we returned to Toronto was the right thing to do. I told you this story, and then you quit your job. I don't know where you are right now. But whatever. Maybe debating whether something was the right thing is not the right way to go about this situation at all. I told you a story, and afterwards you quit your job and went somewhere, and I haven't heard from you since. The three events have no correlation. Maybe, as in the story itself, there is no right and wrong. Most of the time, all there is is coincidence.

I don't usually do casual glams but for P3S my static decided to do either a summer or metallic orange theme. Pretty happy with how the summer one turned out~ We don't need to talk about the metallic orange one since that was a last minute effort.
