November Currentlies

I'm not even going to ask where the time goes anymore. It is November now, and I will accept this fact.

Current clothes: A white t-shirt from LibraryThing, a website I use basically every day. Blue sweatpants. Socks that say "Just give me a cup of tea and a good book and leave me alone," because it's nice to have socks that reflect your values and interests.

Current mood: Generally OK, but a little annoyed at how little I've gotten done so far today.

Current music: Nothing much. Bizarrely enough, I think the most recent thing I may have listened to was, er, a metal band fronted by a parrot. I don't know where I find these things, either.

Current annoyance: There are many of them, but the most immediate one is that a few minutes ago I made the mistake of petting the cat and then rubbing my eye, and now my eye is all itchy and it's driving me nuts.

Current thing: Based on my upcoming answers to "current book" and "currently watching," I think you might say that it's catching up on weird stuff from the 1990s that I'd somehow missed until now.

Current desktop picture: It's still The Good Place.

Current book: Wizard and Glass by Stephen King. Four books in, and I'm still not sure whether it was worth finally starting this series, but I guess I'm committed to it now, or something.

Current song in head: "I Go to Extremes" by Billy Joel, which has been stuck in my head off and on for days now, for some reason.

Current refreshment: A cup of chai.

Currently watching: Neon Genesis Evangelion. Which... The more I watch of this show the less I understand it, but the more I find myself responding to it. I'm not sure that makes any sense whatsoever, but I guess it does track with everything I've heard about it.

Current happy thing: No work tomorrow!

Current thought: Just give me a cup of tea and a good book and leave me alone! Except not just yet, because I really do have to put laundry away and do the dishes, and a whole bunch of other stuff right now. Sigh.

  1. I just recently finished listening to Wizard and Glass on audio book. I'd read it years ago, when I think it was still the newest book in the series, but I've been very slowly trying to get caught up again so I could finally move ahead with the rest of them. (I've listened to just a little of Wolves of the Calla so far.) I enjoyed it, but yeah, King kind of started just throwing everything at them as the series went on, and they are not short.

    1. Wizard and Glass was the last of the Dark Tower books I had sitting on my To-Read shelves, and now I have to decide whether I want to go on with the series or not. I'm not sure I want to, because it has been a little bit of a slog, but on the other hand, having come this far, I really do kinda want to make it to that damn tower.
