Nngh. Don't feel good.

British historians have unearthed a late medieval letter from 510 years ago regarding a medieval expedition to what is now Canada

I had planned to wake up early today, but I stayed in bed because I did not feel well. I still do not feel well at all. I took some medicine for it, but I don't have precisely the right kind I would usually use, so I suppose later I'll have to make my way to the grocer's to get it. Nngh. Mostly I just want to stay in bed all day and sleep. But I'm familiar with this, and I'll probably be feeling better by either this evening or tomorrow.

Yesterday I found myself rather frustrated with my bookshelf situation. Rather, my lack of a bookshelf situation. I have so many books - and as soon as school starts, I will have more - and nowhere really to put them. I managed to cut down on the stacks by putting some in wicker boxes, but I still have things piled in places. Very frustrating. As I was walking down the street thinking about it, I found myself wishing that I could just build one. A few boards and nails, whack 'em in, done. Hell, if my bro can do it, so can I, right?

Unfortunately, getting the stuff to my apartment would be the problem. If I had a vehicle it would be a complete nonissue, buuut I don't. And there's no way I'm lugging a bunch of boards and such on the public transit. Hmph. Soooo there goes that idea. Sigh. Maybe I could get a fold-up bookcase at Superstore... or at least another wicker box. I have space for another in front of my (non-functional) fireplace.

(Gehh, I feel so ill, I just want to go back to bed. I hope this medicine starts working soon.)

Last night I read a little bit more into Diamond Grill. At this point I'm not sure what I think of it. I do not like the style at all. Maybe 3/4ths of the time it is okay - flows a bit quickly, perhaps more poetic than I would like, but fine. But the other 1/4th of the time, it delves into this very "poetic", stream-of-consciousness style. That's a style I don't like at all, in any way, whatsoever. There are poetic styles I love; Cormac McCarthy's work is an example of the kind that I like (and the kind I have tried to imitate in my own prose-poetry, sometimes). But this style Fred Wah is using in this novel is not one that I like. Stylistic issues aside, though, the story is interesting, at least, and it's the story (and the fact that I need it for school) that keeps me reading it.

I now have my medicine, and though I still feel awful, I think I will be okay.

I knew it was just a matter of time before I screw up while on an RP account. Like accidentally friend someone, when I meant to do it on this account. Bah. I'm failing all over the place today.

Hey hey Rhys, I could probably give you a ride on the vehicle front. My dad's good at installation too, and he might not mind helping. If you have your heart set on some shelves, we can work this out.
