I learned tonight that a recent survey by some educational organization found that 40% of people in the US read a book last year. And 90% bought a book. My question: If they don't read, what DO they do with their time?

I read not necessarily because I love reading, but because I can't afford a passport.

I'm going to go hide in someone's world right now.

I need to hide right now.

I've been sick so long I can't remember what total health feels like. I have a hunch that I'd be much more productive and funnier and nicer and smiley if I was healthy, but I'm pretty happy right now, so I can't be sure about that. Still, it'd be nice to be able to run without coughing or talking without getting a sore throat or laugh without getting a headache.

I'm going to go to Maine right now, sitting in my easy chair.

  2. 1. Did you have a birthday?

    2. I, for one, hate being sick but I love that it rids me of my hyperacticity and allows me to chill. Happy chilling and reading (I hope that you're afforded some time to rest).

    3. Oh yeah, and Happy "Day-after-hump-day". Azina, you're making it big. I sense an outbreak of Hump Day celebrations.
