And stumbled downstairs to meet the day

Posted on by Shawshank

Good morning everyone! And by everyone I mean the 1 or 2 people that actually stop scrolling long enough to read this. How’re you doing this fine dark Sunday morning? It snowed here a little last night. Maybe a half an inch. I can’t really tell. I’ll shovel later.

Coffee is brewing, and I’m dressed. I have to do my laundry today, as the plan tomorrow is to go to BigCity. I have a couple of things on my mental list to get. I should probably write them down. Of course the last time I wrote stuff down, I neglected to actually look at the the list, and stuff forgot things.

All right in the world for a couple of minutes – have a fresh cup of coffee sitting in front of me.

So anyways. Have a great Sunday everyone. Enjoy grocery shopping, or whatever else you have planned. Enjoy the day!

Book Club – Brave New World

Posted on by Shawshank

What if God had made cars?

So I just finished Brave New World. I don’t know how I feel about it. It’s definitely a book that I’ll have to revisit later. I think it’s a book that most of the points went over my head.

I simply just don’t understand.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t read it all in one sitting, it was very hard to get back into it when I did pick it up. I mean, it started off really good, but the next time I picked it up, it was like a totally different book.

I mean I didn’t not like it. I just don’t know. I couldn’t identify with any of the themes of the book. In the end, I think I just finished the book so I wouldn’t have the shame of putting in back on my shelf as a “did not finish”. I’m neither happy, nor sad that I finished it.

It just is.
