there’s a running list of things i should accomplish today, but i’m having none of it. it’s hot and getting hotter by the minute as the sun comes around to my side of the building where it will continue to raise the temperature of my apartment until it mercifully sets behind cyprus mountain at approximately 9:30 pm. even then, it will take at least until the wee hours of the morning for the trapped heat within to cool to a temperature which will make any scrap of clothing bearable.
i’ve spent most of my day sitting in this god-awfully uncomfortable chair clicking and browsing my way across the web. i have been in search of cool animations which i never before had the bandwidth to view .
i have not read the book for our book club meeting this wednesday. i have not even begun anything to help russ with his beta testing. i have not done dishes. i have not taken the garbage out. i have not washed the car. i have not balanced my chequebook. i have not even consumed my third cup of coffee. this is, of course, the ultimate measure of my sloth. i couldn’t even drink my heavenly third cup o’ joe. my one accomplishment is laundry. i’ve washed my clothes and towels. i can get dressed in clean garb… if it ever cools down enough to wear clothes again.
Heather – what is the book for your bookclub? I’d be interested in learning about what books you’ve been reading.
I’m currently reading the Binding Chair by Kathryn Harrison. Its excellent. I also recommend Bee Season by Myra Goldberg :)
“waiting” by ha jin
it’s not as horrid as i feared it would be. i just haven’t found the time to read it. our meeting is wednesday night. i haven’t finished the second chapter yet.
they’ll think i don’t want to participate when i tell them i’m too broke to go to dinner with them. at least it’ll be the truth.
I’ve read that! I enjoyed it but “Waiting” is a good title as it is a little slow.
Worth the patience and preserverence, though :)
Being a sloth is good sometimes. I slept all day Sunday. Something that I never do but it felt good.
