HALF A GRAPEFRUIT
24. into reading, writing, language, love, seeing, painting, poetry, Sunday afternoons, lukewarm coffee and Scrabble.
Big ol’ bowl of hashbrowns and reading some Renaissance lit. M. and I were supposed to drive to Ottawa today and drop off his grad school app, but he ended up with some more stuff to do and not quite enough time for 8 hours of driving. So express post it is!
I have correspondence both to mail (postcards! for Rob and Dru and my parents) and to facebook message (thefawnreview, I mean you!) and my parents to phone.
In book news: 1Q84 is actually really fucking good. I’m 495 pages in (425 to go…) and the story is like… a bunch of delicate threads being woven together, but in a really fascinating way. Plus, the language is really nice. Though, I always consider when I am reading a translation that if I only spoke the original publication language, it would probably be different, and much prettier.
