Progression of a day
Woke up earlier than normal for a weekend and was proud of myself, right until the moment I realized last night was the spring daylight savings’ changeover.
There has not been any sun today.
It’s been quiet. I’ve been a little sad, inexplicably so.
I finished Lev Grossman’s The Magicians. At first I’d thought it was going to be a new kind of Harry Potter, and I was right, it was, but Harry Potter is about the magic of childhood, and The Magicians is about the magic of adulthood, and being an adult is so much harder. It ended sadly. That made me sad, more than before.
I have deliberately de-chocolated the house recently in an effort to eat healthier. There are carrots.
My pile of to-be-answered email grows and grows.
I found a pair of thick socks that needed putting away, and instead I put them on my feet. Am suddenly much happier. Maybe the sun will be out tomorrow.
I never knew what to think about the Magicians.
I kind of liked it, but I was also disappointed by the lack of depth. There was so much hinted at, only to be glossed over in an effort to get stuff done in one book.
I’m not against single volume books, mind you. I just felt like he was deliberately trying to cram in a series into one book.
