Summer's Here
May. 13th, 2011 01:42 pmThe weather took a turn to full on summer yesterday into humidity and heat. I think that's why I had trouble sleeping last night plus rereading War for the Oaks. Since I didn't sleep the night before last the day was strange, I had a sort of nap in the morning and then walked around town being amazed at summer arriving.
One of the nicest things was I was able to just sit and finish reading To Say Nothing of the Dog, which I want to reread now that I know what happens. It also got me rereading Gaudy Night, which isn't my favorite Peter Wimsey but To Say Nothing of the Dog is clearly inspired by it that I felt like going back to it. The things that make me unsure about it are some of the class roles that are portrayed but I enjoy that the characters so much.
Tomorrow my brother is visiting as he's going to a conference in Chicago and so is hopping a flight to see me. This is the brother who normally lives in France and is getting married at the end of August, so this is great extra visit. Life is good and I'm nearing the point where I feel ready to start the next step of applying for jobs, which is finding them and sending out applications. I've seen this around my flist and really like the idea behind it so here's a link to my thread of the You're Beautiful meme.
THE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL MEME
