my weekend in short

[harborshore]

1. nightswimming. cool, dark lake. mosquitoes. peace of mind.


2. playing impossible-to-keep-track-of card games.


3. no one remembered their keys.


4. i painted a door. nearly stung by inch-long wasps; nearly got heatstroke.


5. no ticks. minor miracle. innumerable mosquitoes, five moths, two daddy-long-legs, at least twenty horseflies, a mayfly, no snakes.


6. warm buses, cooler cars. forgot my hat at home.


7. the most riveting book i read was part one only. DAMMIT.


8. connie willis is amazing.


9. being capable is addictive. apparently i know how to deal with sprained ankles.


10. no really, the heat.


11. still can't write. thesis progressing slowly, however.

I have Connie Willis to thank for discovering Jerome K. Jerome and Dorothy L. Sayers (through her novel To Say Nothing Of The Dog). She IS amazing, and I need to get some more of her books right now!

Yes! There are recs above if you should want guidance; I know I need help choosing. I should also read Jerome K. Jerome, my dad tried to make me do that and I never did. And I already know and adore Sayers, but now I'm even more determined to replace my copy of Have His Carcase, which I lost.
