[beyonce voice] texas
Aug. 1st, 2024 04:32 pmi am in texas for the week doing such fun things as "talking about money and politics and death" and "learning how to drive" and "getting splinters in really inconvenient places" and even "reading a book set in dallas while i'm in dallas" (more on that later). i have family here, i'm not just here for vibes. i like airplanes but, yknow, covid is a thing. i was maybe one of three people wearing a mask on that whole airplane.
finished "thud", the second-to-last city watch book i think, and it was good. scene near the end w vimes in the caves weirdly similar to eddie diaz in the well episode of 911. in terms of "i have to get back to my son and this will prevent me from dying underground". lol. i liked this book a lot i thought the plot really flowed and i felt really invested in the mystery. sally is great, i like her a lot and i like her weird little dynamic with angua too.
one of the other things i'm doing in texas is sewing! a good friend of mine had a baby, like, [does math] sixteen hours or so ago and my grandmother has a sewing machine so i am making a quilt for the baby. baby probably has a number of personalized fiber arts things already but she's gonna have MORE!!!
