“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Transitions

I'm undergoing it. The interesting thing is, I'm sleeping, like a lot. When I showed up in Davis, I would unpack stuff and fall asleep from 2pm to 6pm. It was strange because like a lot of people newly landed in Cali, I thought I was in paradise, so surely there couldn't be anything wrong...

This time I realize that it's my brain. My brain needs to feel like it lives here, in Houston's Museum District.

If my brain were a cat I could coat its paws with butter and it would lick off the butter and get used to the new tastes. We do it in the UK, you know...it's a real thing, we do it...

But sadly I have not been able to find a way to butter my brain yet.

We're thinking of moving to Baltimore, and I feel exactly the same way.
