Like the tides

I thought I was waning, turns out I wasn't, or perhaps I am just deluding myself one way or another. Its all perfectly fine, that's the joy of the expiry date.

Everything else hums along, my aunt arrived today and by tomorrow the house will be full of noise and people. I am trying to hold on to sanity. New on the agenda is summer reading, which just arrived. I have found five titles available in the city, and purchased one. Even with interesting titles, academic-style books are questionable. The book currently in my posession seems to read like a political theory text, which makes me want to cry in new and interesting ways. If I can't get through a chapter without falling asleep I will return it.

This evening is sure to be much of the same, I will buy more books from UBC and hope that some of them are entertaining enough to get through. I have about 20 hours of airplane time (and if we add airport time in as well, we're looking at more like 30 hours) so I will need to be entertained. I was so tempted to buy Douglas Coupland, but managed to restrain myself. I should not be allowed into bookstores with credit cards.

The semi-boy left today for almost a week, so I will finally get some good sleep (ha!) and maybe get started on this reading. Welcome to the academic jungle.
