Saturday January 31, 2009 Much warmer today -- it got above 40F.
***Found myself thinking about 1,000 books to read after you die. (And, later, 1,000 places to see after you die.) Which is evidence that my mind is working normally again.
***Bought at Steeple People thrift store:
Daniel Nagrin, How to Dance Forever. Most modern dancers are out of the game at forty. Nagrin was dancing at least into his late sixties.
Arthur Schlesinger Jr., The Cycles of American History. Including the conservative-liberal political cycle. The conservative Republicans who thought the Bush Presidency had made them a permanent political majority were wrong. The liberal Democrats now talking about being a permanent majority are also in for unpleasant surprises.
Went to the Wedge Co-op. On my way back, stopped in at DreamHaven Books.
=====
Sunday February 1, 2009 Dreamed about a medical problem: When a woman is pregnant with twins, she provides milk to both wombs. If she later becomes pregnant with a single child, the pattern has already been established. Milk is provided to both wombs, and half of it is wasted.
***"China, US shout to be heard in dialogue of the deaf"
My subconscious commented "With sign language interpretation for the blind."
======
Monday February 2, 2009 For the first time, I made French toast using soy milk. Turned out reasonably well. The soy milk was vanilla-flavored; I would have liked a stronger vanilla flavor.
***Self-quoting from a thread on rec.arts.sf.composition:
Secrets could also be about things not done rather than done.
"I've never really killed anyone."
Or
"When I became a priest, I didn't believe in the Scavenger Gods."
"So? Everybody knows the Temple only certifies priests who don't believe."
"Yes, but now I DO believe."

Tuesday February 3, 2009 At Savers thrift store, found a good winter jacket. Bought it to replace the sorta-okay one I'd been wearing.
Momentary thought: Nothing wrong with the old one which couldn't be fixed. The torn pocket could be repaired with duct tape.
I put on the new jacket before leaving the store. And realized there was indeep something unrepairable wrong with the old jacket. It was too tight across the chest and shoulders. (It hadn't been when I'd bought it.)
On to Aldi supermarket. Then to Target, mostly for canned computer-dusting gas.
