Yesterday

Yesterday I decided my leg was healing fine and there is nothing to worry about.

Last night I removed from my reading list things that were causing me angst.

This morning I looked Reagan in the eye and told him that I simply must get out of the house more.

Later I had a good discussion with Draco about getting caught up in things that don't enrich life

Tonight I bought two books.

On the way back I thought that I might like to write a zine (and wrote about it in a letter to Hannah!)

After that I did some drawing while watching Colbert.

About 20 minutes ago I started digging into Eat Pray Love

Now I'm going to take a bath and continue reading*.

Sunday I will visit my grandmother.



* I dropped in on Amazon to see if EPL was on my wishlist, and along the way tempered my early enthusiasm with reading the "most helpful" negative review and some of the discussion that followed it. There's a lot of calling the author shallow, materialistic, and self absorbed, particularly highlighting the fact that she pitched the book and got an advance before she took the journey she wanted to write about.

It is always my goal to come to a book, experience and interpret it without being influenced by the media circus around it. Granted, I often avoid media circus books so that when I voice my opinions, I don't feel like I have to join one opinionated camp or another (or be lumped into one involuntarily).

Here's to reading objectively but with trust and openness. :)
