I have no idiom for speaking about myself. I am a PhD student at UCLA. I am getting older. I live in a house with no corridors.

I look forward to weekends because I'll have more time to do work. I regularly have insomnia. I am learning German.

At times, there seems to be nothing better, or at least nothing more possible, than staring at walls or out of windows. What I want right now is to read houses.
