I've been wondering what ties this newsletter together besides seasonal depression and Mike Leigh. Seasons, I said, but what does that mean? It doesn’t feel possible to write perpetually about weather and holidays. I have nothing interesting to say about Valentine’s Day.
We're almost finished with the last Harry Potter book and I'm extremely happy to see that I'm not the only one who edits/skips entire paragraphs. There's something about those books that makes them extremely difficult for me to read them aloud...I can never quite put a finger on it. Sometimes wordiness, other times the syntax or rhythm is just odd, like words aren't supposed to go in those places. On many nights I've put the book down thinking I'm losing my ability to comprehend language.
I don't have kids but am a night owl and it is insane how society is set up only for the lives of morning people??? like come on. we could literally have a 24 hour economy if people would accept that some of us can only really sleep well between 2-10am
