I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Maybe set a goal of only going to the grocery store once a month, or however often? I would also miss cheese.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I could get a cheese share as well? They also have coffee and bread. I really just want it all! I think it is expensive, but not expensive as buying my lunch and dinner every night, which is what I tend to do when I am doing theatre, because I can't deal with using my one day off (Saturday) to spend hours on the bus.

But maybe once per month is good, and not get the chicken.

IME, the expensive locally pasture-raised chickens I was getting were bigger, meatier, and tastier than grocery store chickens. A 3-4 lb chicken would make me probably 5 meals plus soup (another 3-4 meals, probably?) without hardly trying.

But still, expensive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah -- that is the right comparison to make, then.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I know a professor with an amazing collection of 18th century books. Hundreds of books, seriously. Regularly ogled and read, especially when he's working with that text. Brought in to classes to be fondled by students. Lovingly housed in his home. That's a book collector.

OMG, this summer is so bullshit for so many people! I was just on the phone with a friend I'm going to see in two weeks (YAY) and we just realized that of the five of us, one is me, one just lost her job, one just got dumped after she proposed -- I hope the other two are OK!

Man, there's wine tasting and a performance of Macbeth at the Harbor Plaza tonight, but I don't feel like going out, especially with it being a weeknight. Maybe I'll catch the Macbeth that doesn't follow wine tomorrow.

While I like fancy and antique editions of books, I prefer books I don't have to worry about. But if I ever get a 1st ed. of Something Wicked This Way Comes, I am going to build a shrine for it.

My dream library--which extends to many rooms--has a well-protected section for Books That Are Precious And Beautiful and more sections for regular books, including the shelves of taped-up thrift store copies of books that I can shove in my purse with no worries. And read in the tub, of course.
