Two months til spring

korafoxI am getting very tired of spending my entire waking hours trying to hold in warmth. My workplace is cold, outside is cold, and my apartment is cold. It feels like forever since I last stretched out all my limbs and unhuddled from this ball. And it's been such an unseasonably warm winter, too, so apparently I just can't handle even a few weeks of cold weather.
Brain = bad, too, but in a way that I have just enough energy to manage being a semi-responsible adult and keep my work face on but not enough to handle looking anyone in the eye who I owe more than that. One foot in front of the other.
One benefit of being a prisoner to the couch is that I finally got around to reading Dune. I liked it better than I thought I would; the prose was a lot more accessible than other books from back then. I found the POV very strange but effectively done; I can't think of any other book I've read that went so deep into the characters' thoughts and hopped around multiple times in the same scene. Of course there were things in it that could have garnered an eye-roll, but it wasn't too difficult to take those with a grain of salt. I'm glad I got around to reading a classic and feel absolutely no compulsion to read any of the other books in the series.
