The date looks like it’s binary code and my relationship with books of late has made me feel like I’m in a short story by Italo Calvino.
No Joke.
So on my bed, I have from the following books that are in various stages of being read.
#1. The Edge of Reason (aka Bridget Jones 2)
#2. The Famished Road (Ben Okri)
#3. Dave Barry’s Guide to Everything
#4 Learning to Play Drums
So the other night I’m reading book 1 and on page 238 it has our heroine Bridget chucking Book2 into the dustbin. My reaction “THE HELL?!” What are the odds?
The last few nights the rain has hit my skylight so hard that I’ve found myself tapping drum beats as well but I guess that’s not super Calvino. However…. While sitting in bed the other night eating peanut butter in my PJs (yes I know how totally gross and kid like and disgusting and bizarre that sounds — and in case you were wondering, it was Skippy Honey Nut - Creamy) I was cruising through Book #3.when Dave Barry quite casually mentions eating peanut butter in bed.
Too weird. Just an odd little surreal moment. Calvino. Coolio. Kick Ass. I dig those.
