darchildreThings about today:
- My lunch was pretty much totally awesome. There was smoked mozzarella and snap peas and sausage and tiny corn muffins and watermelon. Watermelon! And that, friends and neighbors, is why I love taking my lunch in my ridiculous bento box.
- So...with my tax rebate money, I bought me a kindle. And it apparently arrived today. I cannot actually play with it till 8:30, when I get home, but still. Exciting.
- I started reading The Forest of Hands and Teeth this morning because a) sometimes you need to stop reading horror scholarship and start reading horror and b) the Freudian thing was getting overwhelming. So far, it is pretty awesome. Also, it has a truly kickass title.
- Have I mentioned the Freudian thing? The Monstrous Feminine, which I did mention, is by Barbara Creed. Who, as I had forgotten, is the author of the fabled "Jaws is about a giant swimming toothy vagina" article. Yes. The whole book is like that. And, okay, I am willing to read Freudian analysis sometimes (because it's interesting, even if I don't agree with it) but sometimes it is a little much. I mean, I am very rarely the person who says, "Wow, I think you may be reading too much into that" but, really, wow. I was really terribly relieved when the chapter on The Exorcist was over - that was just a little too much incest for me. Freudians are weird.
- Apparently, the heat in the Kingston Community Center has been turned off for the summer, including the power to the space heaters in the library. It's 66 degrees and, well, I'm not cold but apparently this is a really big deal to everyone else.
And that is my day so far!
