7.28.06, Longish Day

Franky Scale: 6, or 5, but it's hard to tell after such a late night last night.

Apparently I'm not too skilled at "later nighters" now, unless the cause is insomnia. The Disenchanted Princess arrived in town, but on a flight that was about four hours late and didn't arrive at Sea-Tac until near 3 a.m. So today was trying to catch up on some sleep, add up on calories — found a new smoothy store where they have a 1000-calorie and a 1500-calrorie option, and in the early evening picking up new book cases. Future be damned, new bookshelves! (Another line in the will :-) I still seem to keep acquiring books — more Dante, several Fuentes, a random few on Buddhism, one Tibetan Book of the Dead for the hell of it, a couple of cancer books, more Zizek, Badiou, Sarte on Genet, etc. — and I've been walking around these spontaneous stacks of books like a very senior citizen of late. Voila, two new book shelves, a little frosted trim on the glass doors, and tomorrow my apartment will be immaculate.
