I'm supposed to be working on a post about a book I recently read (and enjoyed), but the book has long been returned to the library and now I'm feeling uninspired. I'm a very talented procrastinator (have been honing my abilities for years now), so maybe instead I'll waste a little time looking at magazines.
I should have titled my post "we* {heart} mail, as you can see we're all over these recent arrivals in my mailbox. I am totally addicted to getting mail. Are you, too? All of a sudden this past spring I decided I wanted to start subscribing to a few good publications. Widen my horizons, become informed and all that. What possessed me (really great deals actually) to subscribe to so many (didn't happen all at once but has been building as I add another and yet another to my pile), but here they are. As if I had unlimited reading time already for books, now I have a stack of periodicals to keep me busy, too.
In case you're curious what exactly was under the cats . . . This is my extracurricular reading material. A little bookishness, a little current events, some art/history and definitely a little gossip. So are you strictly books only or do you indulge in glossy magazines, too? And can I be nosey and ask what you like to read (since maybe it's something I should read also)?
By the way, I'm not one to watch much TV (you can guess what I spend my free time doing, right?), but I've just discovered The Big Bang Theory, which is absolutely hilarious. A coworker loaned me the DVDs of season one, which I have pretty much inhaled. If you've not watched this show, and you need a good laugh, this is it. I've been driven to tears of mirth watching the episodes. Laughter is a good thing and I need more of it, so I think I can safely say I am going to be addicted to watching the show from now on, though I have a lot of catching up to do.
And now I suppose I will have to get back to writing my proper book post. I suppose I've procrastinated long enough. Or maybe I'll go read my magazines and write Sunday's post later . . .
*Chispa and Dulce aren't shy. They are always happy for any attention, but the flash bothers their eyes. If sprawling on top of books and magazines makes them at all bookish, they are two very literary cats.
