I have less than 50 pages left in Helter Skelter (which crocks in at over 600 and which I've managed to plow through like a mad person in the past 10 days). That's exciting! Now I've read two whole books back to back, viciously, viscously, whatever. I'm hoping to tack on a third to this reading streak. I have a copy of Charles Porter's A Dog of the South which someone on Hubski recommended, broadly, a dog's (heh) age ago. Who was it? Was it you? Speak up.

I am slowly falling behind on being ahead in my Rolling Stones coursera, but I plan to make up on that today. Geez it's been a busy several few weeks and it kind of sucks. I am looking forward to having the whole day to myself today. I have also signed up for History of Rock, so I need to start on that. Today I have thankfully, few few few meetings, and while I have work to do that I will do, I'm going to get it done when I get it done, whether that's inside or out of my "regular working hours" or no. First thing this morning, though, I'm going to finish the shit out of Helter Skelter.

In about 50 days I'll be moving in with my girlfriend. It's been a long time since I've lived with a significant otter and I'd argue it was a terrible decision when I did it before. My ears are open, Hubski: what's your advice on living with someone y'also love? Is there any? I would be delighted, enchanted, and tickled to hear your thoughts.

I WOULD ALSO APPRECIATE ANY CONVERSATION THAT ISN'T ABOUT POLITICS BECAUSE SERIOUSLY WE ALL GET IT, THANKS. My Facebook feed is literally destroyed right now to the point where, why bother checking? It's ad nauseum and I need a cereal serious break.
