Summertime and the living is easy

[osprey_archer]

First: I think it is pretty officially summertime now. The world is warm and sticky and the trees are fully leaved.

Second: I seem to have fallen off the "I should read academic books! Like a real academic!" horse. It is just so much easier to wake up in the morning when my incentive is "Talk a pleasant walk to Starbucks for hot chocolate! Make toast! Drink hot chocolate and eat toast while reading the Green Knowe series while it is still cool enough for the tree to waft a gentle and pleasing breeze through my window."

Hot chocolate is expensive. I do not want to waste it on yet another book that quotes Foucault. (You know what else quotes Foucault? Sneaky-like? The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks. Yet more evidence that it is a terrible, terrible book. Someday I should get over my animus against it and try to read some of E. Lockhart's other books, because I really did like the Ruby Oliver series, but. Life is short.)

And finally: a meme, via surexit. I have 64 words on AO3. Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to 64 (the first thing I posted there), and I'll tell you three things I currently like about it. Pick a number, any number! *puppy dog eyes*
