it's friday. one more week and i will be going home for 9 days of pure unadultered MA summer. Summer vacations should be longer than one week, but i will take what I can get and be happy with it!
Furthermore, I went to the library the other day - the local public library, not the academic one where I work - to return a bunch of books, including Harry Potter and the first three books of the Sandman. I was waylaid in the children's section by various books that I remember from my elementary school library. Stuff that no one I know now knows, like Nighpool by Shirley Rousseau Murphy (and its two sequels), and the birth of the firebringer by Meredith Ann Pierce (which was recently rereleased, so perhaps people know about this now - it's one of the few unicorn books I've ever liked). Anyway, to make a long story short, I ended up getting lost in the young adult section and checking out more books than I meant to. But it's okay because it's FREE and I can read children's books and not feel guilty.
The heating in our building is having spaz attacks. It's 97 degrees outside (or was yesterday), and our heating has decided to turn on... yay! heat no matter where I go!
Also, I read the Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood and am suddenly possessed of a desire to read as much as I can about as many different things as I can.
