God I love my friends
I had a particularly icky day today. It started off rather nice and slow, pretty chill and then it was determined that I had to go cover a Little League thing for someone. This in and of itself would have just been not fun as it was a parade for children in Little League, parts were cute, I will admit that, but as a whole it was pretty lame.
As I was finishing at the Little League and was...

“To read is to fly: it is to soar to a point of vantage which gives a view over...”
– A.C. Grayling, Financial Times, in a review of A History of Reading by Alberto Manguel.

Friend: I think this sentence was written in your honor: "Literature and coffee: such sweet, sweet dependencies."
Me: Aww!! Who wrote that?
Friend: It's a description of a used book store in San Francisco.
Me: That's adorable.
Friend: I thought you might enjoy it.
Me: I did. Is it awful that i felt like a little girl and someone was complimenting me?
Friend: (laughs) Awww!

crap
I hate/love finding that I missed a new book being released into a series I like. Its a love/hate thing because of reasons:
money, no matter what, I will have to spend money on this
work, the job i need to keep me in money also prohibits me from reading at my leisure
time, the stuff I don’t have enough of in a day
