I hate my brain

7:15am
brain: WAKEY WAKEY! We're late already!
me: fuck off. it's sunday. i'm staying in bed until 9.

an hour later
brain: KNOCK KNOCK
me: is it 9 yet?
brain: errm ... not quite.
me: fuck off.

three minutes later
brain: AHEM!
me: it's not 9.
brain: WE HAVE SO MUCH TO DO TODAY!
me: *wide awake*


Yes, yes, lots to do. I have a lot of copy to edit for the DCRCC website, and seemingly endless amounts of laundry and unpacking and, oh hell, organizing. I might even have football practice this afternoon in Virginia ... not sure how that happened, but I stopped resenting the possible interruption when I realized I could read on the train. I'm obsessed with a book vjb sent me (from her month-long California vacation, sigh), Eat Pray Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert. Reading is such a delicious luxury.

And now I'm eying the book, which I just grabbed from the kitchen counter (where I left it this morning after reading it while making coffee, like ya do) so I could be sure I had her last name right, and now it's here next to me and it's so much more appealing than editing and laundry.

meh.

brain: WE HAVE SO MUCH TO DO TODAY!!
me: yeah, yeah.

Pesky brain! Mine got me up before my alarm, too.

You had your alarm set on a Sunday??

*shudder*

How long is your commute each day? Reading on the train or bus always seemed weird to me. I could lose myself in music or audio books, but for me reading demands too much attention that the trip takes away (because of shiny stuff and people to watch).

My train commute is about 15 minutes. I wasn't able to read on the train until pretty recently, because of the distraction of shiny stuff and people, but the fascination seems to have worn thin after about five years. For the first time since I've moved here, I don't see everyone around me anymore.

The City does weird things to people.

I'm going to be vain and take credit for the Eat Pray Love recommendation. I read it in my book club and sent it to vjb just after the new year. I loved it!! I hope you enjoy it - sounds like you're going through a rough time. :(

Not vain AT ALL. I am so grateful to you! This book came to me, through vjb, though you, at the absolute perfect time. I didn't even have the wherewithall to ask the universe for it, but the universe came through anyhow. :) I'm still in India, and I don't want the book to end. I think at this point I've already purchsed four copies to give to friends, and there will probably be many more.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
