Further disconnect.

I have no idea what happened to me in Ottawa. It can't have been that earth-shattering, because I mostly remember finding my course kind of boring. ;)

I'm here, but still feeling oddly disconnected. I've been reading a lot, though, which is a nice change. I kind of had to give up on the tons of reading I like to do in favour of all the other things in my life like knitting and gardening and seeing friends. Maybe my brain just decided it was time to go back to books for a while.

I just made my way through a re-read of all the Dresden Files, except the last two which I haven't obtained yet. I actually kept an eye out for what someone told me were editing discrepancies, but I think that the person who told me about them is mistaken: the text is ambiguous, but not contradictory. However, the books are riddled with typos in some places, which was a bit annoying.

I'm now mostly through the second novel of the Téméraire series by Naomi Novik, and am enjoying them tremendously. I preemptively got all the books so I wouldn't have to wait in-between readings. Not that I have trouble with instant gratification, no. I have a stack of books to read, and so I don't foresee any lack there.

It's a bit early for hibernation instincts to be kicking in. I think I may just have ended up being over-socialized during my course, surrounded as I was by fifteen or so relative strangers all week with whom I had to make nice in spite of various personality issues. It was fun, but also exhausting.

Okay. Gotta go take a shower and get cracking.

Later, everyone!

You will find a sumbel very grounding...

God, I hope so. I feel like I'm floating a couple of feet off the ground these days, but not really in a good way.
