The Daily Update
Jan. 30th, 2005 09:43 pmAfter today, I'm feeling more at home here. The only book I've had with me has been War and Peace, which is interesting but perhaps not the best comfort reading. OK, so you can say to yourself "atleast I'm not on the Russian front fighting Napolean", but really most times in your life when you were miserable, you were still not quite so bad off as if you were fighting in the Napoleonic Wars. So I purchased two installments of Diane Duane's So You Want To Be a Wizard series today, and read about half of one on the metro on the way home. It's amazing how refreshed my mind feels. Watching television, which I did one night of the AmeriCorps orientation, can make you feel better in the short term, but books are better for long-term mental health.
And, at very least, I'm not on Napolean's side fighting my way into Russia.
