okay, well forgive my recent absence, cherished purveyors of the avant garde, but i have been waist high in you know what. well, even if you don’t know, just forgive me.
i’ve always felt like i could become the person i want to be by mimicking the habits of those i admire. sometimes, though, the lifestyles of the talented and genius aren’t that easy to peek into. i’m not talking about knowing what britney eats for breakfast. i want to know how people like haruki murakami organize their lives. and i found out at daily routines, a blog that is literally just a list of the daily habits of famous artists. like the singular simone de beauvoir.
simone de beauvoir
here’s an exerpt of ms. beauvoir’s daily routine:
INTERVIEWER
People say that you have great self-discipline and that you never let a day go by without working. At what time do you start?
DE BEAUVOIR
I’m always in a hurry to get going, though in general I dislike starting the day. I first have tea and then, at about ten o’clock, I get under way and work until one. Then I see my friends and after that, at five o’clock, I go back to work and continue until nine. I have no difficulty in picking up the thread in the afternoon. When you leave, I’ll read the paper or perhaps go shopping. Most often it’s a pleasure to work.
i actually read every post on this blog in one sitting, it’s that good.
