The weather is balmy here, and the mosquitos have decided that it’s time to make being outside miserable. This will go on for the next four months. Precisely during the time my grass requires watering the most. I am not amused.
On a slightly related note, the city about 150 miles southeast of me will run out of water within the next year. Which is unfortunate, because I actually love visiting every summer. But I’m slightly more concerned that this doesn’t seem to be getting a lot more attention than it has.
Lots happening this week. Hoping to get a new article out the door, and to continue reading through some research I am doing for a project. So mostly reading, jotting down notes, and writing. More on that front later.
Finally got through the introduction to Delillo’s Underworld. This book is enormous, and I’m still not entirely sure what it is about. I’ve been intentionally staying away from recaps or reviews for it, since that’s what I did with White Noise and ended up loving it.
So far, though I’m not sure what it’s about, I can see what Delillo is setting up. Not plot-wise, but thematically. If my senses are correct, then I am excited for this thing to unfold. It will likely be the last winter book I read for the year. We’ll see.
That’s me for today. Here’s so music for your commute:
