I don't get beamed down this way usually, but it's time for a change of scenery
I was not designed by nature for appointments at eight in the morning, especially not on less than two hours' sleep, but I feel smug that I used the remainder of the morning to meet up with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
a_reasonable_man at his office, visit a used book store in Harvard Square, and make a grocery run through Stop & Shop. I came home with copies of ZZ Packer's Drinking Coffee Elsewhere (2003), Dennis Lehane's Gone Baby Gone (1998), Boston Noir ed. Dennis Lehane (2009), and Gail Scott's Heroine (1987), plus a pile of groceries, and then I tried to work and instead fell asleep for three hours. I spent the rest of my evening proofreading. Have some links.

Thank you! I was out and about and the only thing I did not manage to do was return a DVD to the library, although I'm not sure with which hands I would have managed it by the time I was carrying a computer bag, a brown paper bag full of books, and groceries.
