Neanderpundit

Headed home in the ayem. Been nice, cool most of the time, nice to visit with outlaws. The grind starts hard again Monday.

Or perhaps orc feet. They’re pretty gnarled and funky in any event. Look at the job they have to do.

Right know I’m awake and it’s not because I think 2:30 is a hella cool time to be awake, but because a little flap of dead skin on my left big toe decided to come almost loose and feel like a nail was being driven into my toe whenever it touched the sheets. I would just be drifting off to sleep and I’d be all like, hey what’s biting my toe? And then it would stop and id drift off again and then I’d move again and if be like wtf? So I used the flashlight feature of my Android phone to illuminate the area while I carved the bleeding and painful offending flap of dead skin off with my pocketknife.

And of course now I can’t get back to sleep.

How much I like “Cannery Row”. Its one of those books that was almost ruined for me as part of a high school reading assignmen t, but I thwarted them by doing the book report out of cliffs noted and didnt actually read it until I was in my thirties.
Steinbeck does a great job of describing how well and how badly people can treat one another. Nice, also, to be able to read it at a leisurely pace.
