shanmonster | I Bide My Time

I just finished Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy, and then followed it up immediately with Iain Banks' The Wasp Factory. I'm also reading J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I seem to inadvertently be on a writers-from-the-UK kick. The books otherwise have little to do with one another, aside from perhaps being coming-of-age stories.

My intestines are still in a state of crampy disarray, although they're much better than they were. Work is proceeding normally. I've had no terrible urges to scream out "MY SPLEEN!" while on a call. The first hour of work was delicious, with just four calls.

snowy_kathryn and

zero_design are moving away very soon. I helped pack up their kitchen stuff yesterday, until I almost collapsed due to silliness. I hadn't had anything to drink for several hours, and it was HOT. I think I need to have a bottle of water tied to me considering my propensity for dehydration and my constant forgetfulness. So I guzzled down a few mugs of water before staggering home to drink some more.

I'm such a sillyhead.

I considered kayaking, but by the time I got home, it was too late. I'll try to go on the morrow, if the weather allows.

Wanna come with?
