Love is still in the air

On my way home this afternoon, I was patiently waiting at a traffic light when something very interesting caught my eye:


If you look closely, you can see the passenger running her fingers through the driver's hair at the base of his neck. What we're looking at here is a very romantic elderly couple. Gray hair and everything yet still so manja. I hope my husband and I will be that happy even when we get to be their age...

Ghost of a Weekend

This is Yuuko Ichihara of xxxHolic - my muse for Kage No Yuurei's Haruka:

I've been feeling like a yuurei (ghost) myself these days. Watching my life go by without actually living it (well, we all have those moments when you just don't want to) with as much passion as I normally do. And I'm really not in the mood for anything this weekend but I think I have to keep myself busy, if only to keep from thinking about trivial (or not-so-trivial) matters. Under any circumstances, a bunch of things have been left on the backseat. Such as an unfinished novel that keeps bugging me like a little kid pulling on your clothes for attention. I blame the project paper - it's made me dread opening up Word documents. Still, somewhere out there, someone's waiting to read the second chapter so I suppose I should get cracking. Matteite yo, Kurisu-kun!
