I Can’t Get to Sleep, Think About the Implications

“Human beings behaving humanly? Brilliant.” – James Lipton in a Gieco commerical.

Today was a pretty boring day.  Which doesn’t mean that it was bad, just slow.  I did manage to get a good deal of work done. By work I mean catching up on my back-log of comics.  Solid reading and some thoughts on what I will and won’t keep on my pull list, but nothing solid. And I finally got to start Neil Gaiman’s Smoke and Mirrors which so far as offered a really good assortment of stories. I’m only about 80 pages in but am loving it.  I did always like Gaiman’s style (as determined from Sandman, The Eternals and Stardust) and find his short stories very engaging. “Chivalry” and “Troll Bridge” stand out as my early favorites from the book.

Moving on, I attempted to make Gluhwein a German mulled wine. It turned out okay. I didn’t have all the ingredients but it was still tasty. Here’s the recipe for the adventurous amongst us. Gluhwein Recipe.

Tomorrow I plan on running errands with my mom, going shopping and finally sitting down to start filling out  applications to grad school. So far I’m looking at the New School for Social Research, Fordham U., NYU and Columbia Teacher’s College. That should be an interesting time.  I really have fixed feelings about going to grad school, but I don’t know what will come of it.

Well, that’s all for now.  My friend Ande is really persuading me to start writing. Ro, too.
