scottobearDid some chores, but sadly didn't connect with the little brother... he's working tonight. So, I swung by the bookstore after dropping my laundry in the washers at the local 'mat. They weren't sure about what version of Heidiggers book they would order... they didn't know which translation it was... (so I'm swinging by the big honking borders tomorrow or during the week), but I picked up Cold Mountain and began reading.... so far, so *great*. I'm about 50 pages in, but I'm cutting myself off at certain chapters, wanting to savor the book... consume it slowly over the coming week. (I honestly don't think that's going to happen... it's really good. I see it swiping some of my snooze time before bed tonight....) The characters Inman and Ada both seem very interesting, and the writing is very evocative. So far there's quite a lot of detail, but not so much that it clutters the events or characterization. Instantly engaging. I was warned it'd keep me up all night, and it may...
On other fronts, Newt seems happy that winter is over, and liked the little tiny space heater... it's neat, it doesn't get hot to the touch, but acts as sort of a blow-dryer... Newt likes to park about 3 feet in front of it, and poof out, and bask. :)
Hmm.. now that I have to make my own dinner (instead of going out)... what to have? I have 3 bananas, peanut butter, some bagels... I want to go easy on the carbs... maybe I'll just smear the peanut butter on the bananas directly? I need a better (non-starchy) delivery system. cut the bananas into disks, and make little tiny nanner sammiches?

I'll probably pretend the book ends at a more satisfying place, if it ends badly... (If they get eaten buy mountain lions or something, I'll just end the book where they get together...)
