New Rituals
I have begun a routine in which I insist that I do something intellectually productive every day. This ends up playing out as a trip to a coffeeshop and a couple of hours of reading and writing. I leave my house because it forces me to interact with the world and the movement itself is a good primer for casual reading. The location is usually a coffeeshop because the caffeine is vaguely inspiring. Coffeeshops are also public places and I like to see and be seen, like any other modern person.

i'm really excited about this site slowly turning into morecolorationbyadamjohnson.blogspot.com
p.s. snow day today! waxing nostalgic for you and refrigerated cookie dough
careful, a few hours reading in a coffee shop can quickly become many hours reading in a coffee shop. a couple of januaries ago i found myself spending 6+ hours a day in coffee shops and spending alot of money on books.
also, i wish that was somehow my job.
