In touch
Since I moved to the other side of the world, just knowing that I can reach the people closest to me at the touch of a button has been a great comfort. While updating the jailbreak on my iPhone I managed to render the phone part inopperable. This created an instant pang in my stomach; I couldn’t get in imediate touch with family and friends. I don’t speak to family/friends back home everyday,...

Workers passing
Most days while walking to work I pass by a cat walking in the opposite direction. He seems pretty set on getting where he needs to go, but he always stops for a quick pat, then he continues on his way. I figure he’s got a wife and kids to get home to.
