people watching on koufonisia
why is it just so much easier to write at dock? (especially with mooring lines)
first there is something to say bc you see stuff on shore
second you don't have to WORRY about nearly ANYTHING!! your mind is free to think
third i think maybe the boat is just finally stable enough that your computer isn't going to fall off the table
today i saw a man.
dressed in a short sleeve, loose, off-white "relaxed" linen with the buttons not all the way buttoned up
shorts, sandals
black wavy hair, sunglasses
and he was so handsome in that dolce & gabbana model way
and he was holding a book. HE WAS READING SOMETHING! and it looked like an old paperback
then i saw a woman with a black swimsuit with a deep v with goes down all the way to her belly, and her breasts were half way showing, half covered by the v. and it's the sort of swimsuit where you look and wonder if there is some sort of trick to keep the breasts IN somehow
and she was just chubby enough that her body was not in a streamline shape and her "meats" did not fill her out in a perfect smooth line, but in lumps...as though she's a blowup doll which didn't get fully inflated and so there were wrinkles
and her face was -- i forget now
but she went up to him and leaned her head back, expecting a kiss
and he kissed her, his black waves covering her face, veiling their kiss like changing room curtains
and i wonder what he's thinking and what she's thinking and if they think about being looked at
i think guys like him get a lot of stares because while beautiful girls are common, guys ...
well i'm not saying his face was that spectacular, in fact his face was not very memorable either but i assume it's that squarish type manly construction. you couldn't see much anyway, because of the sunglasses
but his whole look says: "i care about how i look but i will play it off like this is effortless"
and her swimsuit says "i want to be looked at"
so i wonder if they wonder if they're being looked at and if they like it and if they think: "god those peasants, they don't know how to dress. if only they knew that the secret to looking like this is a carefully curated outfit"
and i wonder how H looks when he's out
i'm starting to forget his face -- i've long forgotten his face, actually
his image derives from his height and build and that square masculine face
black curls
wheat colored skin
there was a time when i thought he must've attracted girls everywhere
that his shyness was a ploy to get more girls, to endear himself to them
but now i think that the beautiful things about him were always hidden and required conversation and observation to discover
and that the superficial things...
well girls don't really care about that.
otherwise that guy on the beach would be dating the hottest girl around, not just the most scantily dressed
the hottest girl...she usually dates some ordinary looking man
i saw a group of 8 or more greek children at this restaurant. half of them only had swim shorts on
they each had a plate of eggs benedict (such sophisticated palettes -- to this day i do not dare order this dish...do i not dare or do i just find it rather boring, actually? hard to tell)
with an pink smoothies
then a second round of orange smoothies,
then dessert: chocolate banana waffles where the chocolate is nutella
and they eat these mouthfuls of waffle, smearing the nutella on their faces, chewing just enough to get the food down, talking, with periods of dazed expressionlessness
another table. same configuration, maybe only 5-6 kids
where do these children come from?
i thought these kids must be rich, each eating worth of food, and their clothes look nice
seb thought they must "belong" to the restaurant
(they do not, i casually asked as we were paying)
idk why seb has a hard time accepting that people can be rich
in his imagination his family is the richest in the world and he has trouble tolerating that anyone could be better off (when he was that age, he certainly did not get to eat worth of food with his friends who all got to eat so much)
it's a little bit, i think, like when you're a polyglot and you vigilantly scrutinize anyone who claims they can speak more languages than you
(though...a lot of people claim they're polyglots)
it's like when we were in ios and i thought the teenager girls next to us must've been loaded, the way they were casually vacationing together, not even really acting as though they were really appreciative of their situation, looking on their phones and laughing, relaxed
he simply could not accept that they must've been loaded, but these girls were about 15 and they were so far from home...their accent places them a long flight away
"no they're drinking"
"but those could be mocktails"
"no way"
why not?
i don't know what his deal is
anyway those kids gave me good energy

最近、毎日教科書のワークブックの１ページをしているけど、それだけで、他の何もしないので、私の日本語のレベルはまだ低いなあと思って、今から、毎日アニメも見ることにした。
