classical tuesday II

morning!

sitting in a library, with the most wonderful view,
the fog has surrounded the entire toronto sky,
but some of the skyscrapers are peaking up above the fog,
wish you could see this!

sipping on my americano,
speaking of which,do you know how the drink inherited its name?
an americano is essentially espresso shots and hot water,
during the american civil war, the soldiers, wanting to preserve the espresso for as long as possible,
would soak the shots with hot water.

on to important things: classical tuesday II

Mozart - Rondo Alla Turca
Nandel - Largo Opera (from 'Xerves')
Rachmaninoff - Vocalise for Violin

Gounod - Ave Maria

Kisses,

si on me cherche, je suis à la bibliothèque.

hey hey!

lately, i've been spending most (read: all) of my time
in the library.

spending the entire day in here does have a certain charm,
coming inside in the early morning,
and leaving late into the night,
during those steps to the exit,
there is a certain feeling,
of pride & accomplishment,
sort of a right of passage,
after all,
is it still a university experience,
if you haven't crammed for essays and tests?

although the library i have chosen to inhabit,
is less than exceptional,
it serves its purpose.

but,
the libraries above, are the ones that i day dream about;
the old spiraling stairs,
the antique columns,
& the secrets between the pages of the rustic books,
those are the things that make the perfect libraries.

hope your study space is inspirational!

0h!

i stole the images above from an article about lovely libraries,
i cannot for the life of me remember the link to the article,
but if i stumble upon it again, i will add it here!
