Books, cats, MST3K, Hawkeyes, Chicago Cubs. Native Iowan marooned in Spartanland. Rarely funny on purpose.
It almost slipped under the radar, but Solvaj Balle's new book was released this past Tuesday. Because I hadn't purchased a book in nearly three months & coincidentally I'd just finished #Schattenfroh I thought I would treat myself.

We have a new little free library across the street & down half a block. This book is a most excellent find.

I start the month of November at page 706 of #Schattenfroh. Still slow, steady progress - emphasis on "slow". Hoping to be done by the middle of the month, which would be about seven weeks.

Gonna be a while before I read a book of this size again.

I felt like complete shite yesterday. (I went to work anyway.)

Today I feel a lot better. Waking up to this, how could I not.

Ugh. Every last bit of energy I have is taking a general strike today.

Not sick, but definitely not even remotely functional.

Earlier today I finally reached the halfway mark of Schattenfroh. It only took me 22 days! 😱

22 more & then some left to go!

Penny is tiny but mighty. She only likes ice in her water dish.

I just had both cats on my lap at the same time. That never happens!

Happy birthday to the late Trish Keenan, vocalist for the band Broadcast, who would have turned 57 today. I still can't listen to them without wondering what great(er) things they would've created.

As a fan of Viagra Boys, it pains me to admit that I do not like shrimp.
Except this one.
