Woke up to some freshly prepared crispy bacon, and made myself a breakfast sandwich from as many strips as I could handle. It was delicious, if I do say so myself. Now we are watching The Spongebob Movie on Ytv.
I finished another book yesterday, and now I’m in a weird spot where I know the next book I want to read isn’t going to show up until the fifteenth of next month, but I don’t want to not read anything between then and now. So I’ll dig through my TBR pile for something short enough that I can read it before my next book arrives.
I went for a James A Owen book about dragons. I think the series was written in the early 2000’s. Each volume is made up of two or three actual novels. I can read the first one quickly, then the last one or two seem to drag on for months. They aren’t bad, but I don’t consume 1000 page novels like I used too. I’ve been gearing down to three hundred pages of fewer. Could be writing short stories has rewired my brain for quicker and more concise tales. Or I’m more distracted, and don’t have the attention span for massive tomes any more. Seems like a reasonable explanation. But I’m no scientist, and I could just be making things up as I go along.
My concentration is still good, do you want to know how I know that? My love of assembling thousand piece model kits on the semi regular. My office is crowded with Gundam kits that range from 1,500 pcs down to like 500 pcs. Assembly via pictograms and drawings, as I don’t read Japanese text, like at all. Lots of prolonged concentration. So I know I can still focus when I need to.
Time to take the kids skating. Have a good Holiday Monday people.
