today

Today I have read three books. This is not very much like writing, or playing outside, but my God it was satisfying. So there. :)

Except, argh. I re-read this book, LOOKING FOR THE MAHDI, which is really quite good, because the word “copacetic” is used twice in the book and I couldn’t remember who’d used it the first time and there’s sort of a reveal at the end when it’s used again so I wanted to know who’d said it first, nor could I find it in the skimming re-read of the middle, where it’s first used, so I’ve been meaning for years to re-read the book and find out who said it the first time. Only I just finished re-reading it and I missed the first instance. And I still can’t find it on skimming the middle. Argh! I want to be able to grep a hardcopy, dammit!

In other news, it’s 69 degrees out, which is just ridiculous.
