So like I can’t figure out if this is a side effect of not having a long enough to-read list or of reading too hurriedly, but does anyone else ever find themselves finishing a book and then almost immediately turning back to the beginning and reading it again? And not just for like favorite books, either. Just about any book.

I talked to Jackie* for a while tonight. It was good. I missed her.
*if you’re reading this, sorry, I’m pretty good out loud but by myself I never got the hang of just Jack (or Jaq, for that matter)

Okay so I’m lying here on a bag of ice (a small one, to be fair) because last night I went to sleep through back pain and this morning I woke up with back pain and I anticipate going to sleep with this very same back pain because I don’t sense it going anywhere.
On the bright side, since I can’t lift the phone in front of my face for very long, I’ve learned just how good I am at typing on this phone without looking at it. I can even do the commas, if I’m careful.
On a less bright side, I don’t even know what I’m going to do with my asshole back when I wake up tomorrow and it still fucking hurts.

I seem to have a books “problem”
That is, I have things I ought to do but all I’m doing is lounging on the couch reading. Maybe in a bit I’ll lounge in the bath reading. Or something. It’s just I read 2 books between Sunday and Wednesday, and yesterday I read a book and today I’ve read most of a book, and that means I’ll have to go back to the library. Which means I’ll have to relocate my library card.

Oh Tumblr, I missed you so.
Well, not that I did a super good job of staying away. I have a problem where the first thing I do when I wake up is press the Tumblr button on my phone. Terrible habit. But I like to think it helps me transition to the new day.
Anyway, even though I’m sad I couldn’t reblog every little thing I wanted to, or make any long fascinating posts (I know you guys all looooove hearing from me, especially since my long fascinating posts are quite definitely, uh, long), I had a pretty good reason: I’ve been in Pittsburgh watching this girl graduate from college!!!!! I have a couple pictures that’ll go up after this, because they’re on my phone, but mostly I just have to tell you that she has done amazingly, finished her degree in 3 years despite a lot of bullshit from her school, got a diploma that says “summa cum laude”, and I am so so so proud of her. Which sounds weird because I feel like that’s me taking some kind of credit for her success, but I think you know what I mean.
I feel like usually when you visit someone in their town they have a whole list of landmarks and “cool” “stuff” they want to show you (Bodo’s, the National Gallery, the downtown mall, a halfhearted “uh, have you seen Monticello?”), but I’m pretty sure I’m the one who dragged Runa through almost every single exhibit in the Natural History and Art museums. Unfortunately for her, she then rewarded me by taking me to pretty much the most amazing library I’ve ever been in (I’m not a super well-traveled library-goer, so no offense to any other awesome libraries). Positive reinforcement is a bad idea with me, see. Now I’ll think it’s okay to bring Runa down to DC and drag her through the whole National Gallery, Natural History, and Hirshhorn museums, maybe taking a stop through Freer, Sackler, and African Art and a “quick” tour of Air&Space. People say there are too many museums in DC to tackle them all in one day, but I bet it can be done! Okay, no, not really… I’ll have to keep her for a few days. We can pull a what’s-that-book-called and live in a museum.
We did forget to find kittens, though.

PAS: Macbooks get pretty hot after a while, and sitting with a laptop on just your underwear basically fries your junk. Not recommended.

Solar eclipse projected through the ‘pinholes’, made by oak leaves, on my shed door.
The tiny gaps between each leaf act as individual pinhole cameras, morphing the shadows of the tree with projections of the obscured sun. Next eclipse, you can witness this yourself, or even replicate it by crossing your fingers over on another in a waffle patter.
Ok. Maybe this one is my favorite.
God that’s awesome.
