he’s quite dextrous with the hands and the Rubik’s cube. there’s an odd level of fascination watching the planes twist and reconfigure in their correct corners. can’t work it out myself, but I’ll watch for hours. solving it again and again. no matter how messy it becomes, he’s fixed it and organized it and made it make sense in less than five minutes, with a solid strong mind and hands that don’t stop moving. half the time he doesn’t look at the cube until it’s done.
the first time it stole my attention, I was slightly drunk and hoping that all these feelings couldn’t be blamed on alcohol. it turns out drinks don’t affect the feelings, just the inhibitions. but those are fading, sober or no. I’m thoroughly enjoying this. I may pretend forever that I don’t know how to solve the cube myself, or how to learn, just for fun. this is so much fun.
