Sunday Salon - Right Now (8/17/14)



Time: 9:02 am Pacific

Place: Some place other than home

Listening to… Episode 292 of Books on the Nightstand

Watching... Newcastle vs Man City

Reading... Too many books

Planning...  To post some book reviews, read a bunch of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, watch a bunch of lectures for a course I am taking online through Coursea.org (one on the French Revolution) and to just generally survive the day.

Feeling... Tired; haven't been sleeping well for the last little while.

Wanting... To go back to bed.

Thinking... Not a lot at the moment

Looking forward to... Seeing my sister.
