Books, Headspaces & Other Notes

Books & Headspaces

Some­times it really sur­prises me how much my enjoy­ment of a book is linked to my cur­rent head­space. For exam­ple, I read The Magi­cians a year or so ago and I recall really lik­ing it. But this time around, I hated it. Well in truth the book was ok; what really I hated the main char­ac­ter. This read around he just totally rubbed me the wrong way. ¹ Then there was Blood and Honey. I don’t know for sure that it’s some­thing that would nor­mally be to my taste; but when I read it, I was in some­thing of an angry mood ² Or we could look at the Dres­den Files which over all has been a great source of enter­tain­ment of late; unfor­tu­nately too a great source, as it’s been keep­ing me waaaaay too late into the morn­ing as I read each vol­ume. ³

Other Notes

• I hadn’t real­ized how much a pair of worn out shoes were affect­ing my gen­eral feel­ing of well being. At least, I hadn’t until I finally bought some new ones. Good lord, I totally should have bought new shoes sooner.
• Speak­ing of things I should have done sooner, I went in to the doctor’s office today and got some antibi­otics for the sinus infec­tion that’s been wip­ing the floor with my system.
• I’ve been work­ing on the new theme for this site, and I’ve got a rough pro­to­type worked out for the home page. But I just don’t like it much. It’s not god awful, but it’s also not good enough. So I’ll prob­a­bly be ditch­ing the cur­rent redesign I was think­ing about and try another approach.
