The beach is magical! You don't need anything to do there. The ocean is enough of a reason.
However, you yank the body of water and I can barely sit still long enough to read. I need even more shit to be happening. Conversation, sporting event, something. I'd rather go inside and read out of the bright light, etc.
At the beach I'm usually in the water. Books don't work well there.
Hee, of course, living where I do probably figures into the equation. On our commute we drive past gorgeous snow-capped mountains, broad open canyons filled with color, through towering ponderosa pine forests, past sparkling lakes, along vast desertscapes with rock formations and dust devils. A bald eagle swept in front of our car during yesterday's commute.
Their parents don't read; no one on television reads. Television homes rarely have bookshelves.
And yet books are often populated by people who read, or have families who read, or have bookshelves. A CONSPIRACY!
and meara - soon you'll be able to vote for a Congressional representative who actually, you know, represents you!
AND not one but TWO senators! How exciting! And you know I will be urging them to take action on DC voting rights!
Yesterday I missed my train stop because I was reading. Usually I'm good about it, but somehow miscounted, and realized I was at Catholic/Brookland rather than Fort Totten. Oops.
AND not one but TWO senators! How exciting!
Heh. I have to say, as senators go, Cantwell and Murray are kinda dull. They usually vote the way I want them to, but if you could trade senators between states like baseball players I'd be agitating for Washington to throw in a legislator to be named later or two so we could swap them for cool senators like Obama and Webb.
Can I swap my senators for more liberal ones?

No! You can't have Obama.
Although he might end up leaving us and going off to be President or something....
Amen. Except to get anyone to take Kyl, I'd never get my draft pick again.

I was just thinking the same way. Voting The Right Way but dull would be a very lovely thing.
I write fic on the bus, or watch SPN on my iPod. Or I read fic that I've loaded up the night before.
...
I'm kind of predictable.
