co-organizing a poetry reading today
i love her i love her i love her
i love her i love her i love her
i love her i love her i love her
I think I made her up
Update: I am writing a fan fiction of Romeo and Juliet for my friend, because she has to submit it to her creative writing class and doesn’t have a time for it.
No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai
Suprisingly, I recomend this book. If you will read anything by Dazai, I very much recomend getting to know his life before reading. It is a good thing to do with every author, but I think in Dazais case it is necessary.
4/5 - I expected the worst and was plesantly (not the best choice of word) suprised.
Which path you'll take?
I took them all
Italy post n. one
I haven't found God in Vatican, but at least I found The Hot Priests calendar and bought it.
paintings from my aunt's walls
Tomorrow will be a long day
second home
Nihilism in the graveyard
my classmate invited me to some gathering with her artistic friends where we would enjoy photos (from some old camera i quess) projected on a balcony wall and drink wine. She herself said that its very pretentious and that is exactly what i am looking for but i am intimidated by the chaotic academia vibe people coming, what should i do?
Wine night with my friends. Maybe will organize bacchanal later idk
Watching The Dreamers (2003) directed by Bernardo Bertolucci felt like reading The Secret History by Donna Tart and I honestly couldn't get into detail why but it just felt simalar. I guess Its the dark academia feeling in it but still, both are very good in my opinion

When a side character starts getting more interesting than the main character
Writers realizing they were fantasizing the whole time and not...*gulps*... writing 😱😭
"So you're just gonna avoid writing your WIP for absolutely no reason ? What about your characters?"
Writers 😩:
what people think the most time-consuming part of writing is: writing
what it actually is: stopping every few sentences to fact-check, make sure a word means what you thought it meant, find synonyms, revert to the outline…
Writers planning on spending their weekend on a writing spree, brainstorming ideas, editing their manuscript and coming up with the most amazing plot for their story.
The Couch which they usually laze on:
"Am I a joke to you?" 👁️👄👁️💅

I was reading about Francis Crick and James Watson’s discovery of DNA in 1953…and admiring Santiago’s beautiful drawings of neurons…and Alan Hodgkin et Andrew Huxley’s mathematical discovery of calculating how action potentials propagates along a neuron…I couldn’t help but think how romantic it all is. To me it’s so interesting learning about the process of discovery. It’s incredible because all these people were just like us—students. It’s romantic because it’s human—a human experience—an insatiable thirst for knowledge, curiosity that knows no end. A perseverance to succeed. The ultimate quest to generate a novel idea before anyone else does. How can anyone say that science is not poetic? Science is poetry written in a different language, an esoteric one at that. But poetry nonetheless.
Day in the life of a Natural Science academic.
-I am absolutely in love with Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Camillo Golgi. I found it quite fascinating learning about their lives and the influence both had on Modern Neuroscience.
Santiago kind of has my heart because he is everything but the stereotypical idea of a scientist. He actually wanted to become an artist but that went against his father’s wishes and Santiago became quite…the rebel in school. But with time, he was intrigued by histology and proceeded to conducting a lot of research, one of them being neurons and Golgi’s Black Reaction. Santiago was able to illustrate neurons as shown in one of the pictures above. And he improved Golgi’s reaction that was a staining method using (silver nitrate and potassium chromate).
