the old modern life

I spent a good deal of the day yesterday writing and learning adobe indesign. I took a break to go to the gym, which I have to say is a really nice way to refocus and re-energize myself. Sometimes around 4ish I start feeling like I need a nap and an energy boost, its hard to imagine how exercise can make a weary soul more energized, but its true: the more energy you give, the more you get.



Last night I baked brownies (i know, i know!) and watched another episode of Carnivale. I'm really hooked into the story, its just brilliant and visually inspiring. It's one of those things I wish I would have discovered sooner, but not sure if I would have appreciated it as much as I do now. I can see where this show may not appeal to many people especially perhaps the faint of heart, but there is something so unique and curious about the story being told. I am fascinated with life during the dust bowl (and prior.) I find myself wanting to create a balance between modern freedoms and rights with simplistic pleasures of the past in my own life.
