we’ve no time to start a protocol

Today at lunchtime I was reading the interwebs while slurping up the delicious lamb meatball, chickpea, carrot, sweet potato and turnip stew Jonathan made for dinner last night. And here’s what I found:

I’m sure you’ve all seen that site that collects the passive-aggressive notes people leave. Stay Free points us to another hilarious one along the same lines, the “blog” of “unnecessary” quotation marks. But do they include apostrophes, too?

My pal Steve has a great post about reading and the in-between times on the Poetry Foundation’s blog. It’s good to see someone thinking critically and productively about the recent reports about the decline of reading (rather than just whining or freaking out about it). And we could all use a little more SLOIP in our lives, I’m sure.

Tomorrow is my day off, and I am going to paint Gus’s bedroom doors. We’ll thus be mostly done with the home improvement, other than finishing up putting some books on our shelves. Gus had said he wanted us to paint trees on his walls, but tonight I came home to a new catalog in the mail and now I am thinking we should splurge on these wall decorations. Pricey, but sooooooooo much easier, no?

The $60 is worth it! Although the SPace Invader ones are way cute and only $45!

I know! But Gus really wants some sort of nature theme…his ceiling is dark blue and walls a leafy green, doors + baseboards brown.

Jill should make wall decals! Her stuff is very decalable.
