Dr. Eden Minerva: So, let’s talk about your parents.
Craig: You think I can change my parents?
Dr. Eden Minerva: No, but I’m a psychiatrist, so I have to ask you about them at some point.

“Hace unos años, cuando Mitt Romney dejó el cargo de gobernador de Massachusetts, el estado encargó su retrato oficial. Como todo político que se precie, Romney decidió posar con gesto adusto, de líder decidido, acompañado de algo que simbolizara sus logros en el cargo. La imagen lo dice todo:
¿Veis ese libro a la derecha de la imagen, junto a la foto de su mujer? Es la ley de reforma de la sanidad de Massachusetts, o “Romneycare”, el primer sistema de sanidad universal de Estados Unidos. Una ley bien diseñada, conservadora y elegante. Tan buena, de hecho, que Obama copió el modelo descaradamente para la Affordable Care Act. En un país normal Mitt Romney estaría orgulloso de esta reforma pionera, proclamando a los vientos su gran logro. Pero claro, hablamos del partido republicano y Estados Unidos.

I could definitely use a whole chicken right now. But I keep it to myself. I don’t want to alarm anyone in the group. They’re all busy fighting demon dogs. These guys are literally killing themselves for what? Fifty points a dog is what. It breaks my heart. When I think of everything the group has been through together, the early days grinding it out in the coin farms, to where we are now, I get a little blue in the aura, I do.

From Sorry, Please, Thank You:Stories. My favorite title of the year, so far.
Random thoughts about books.
I get very attached to books and moving made it painfully clear (about 70% of my boxes were books). I have only bought electronic books for the last three or four years, but I have a tremendous amount of paper books that I really do not want to get rid of. I sometimes think of giving them to friends, to a public library and it sounds like a good idea, but at the same time it makes me sad. I rarely open a book that I have already read, but they are part of me by now. Those stories are part of my own story.
Those stories, my own story. I always thought I would never switch to electronic books for this very reason. I did, tho, and my life is a lot easier thanks to them. It does not matter how much I have to travel, my books are always around me. And not only that, I get to find new books because of the books I like, because it does not matter if there is no one around to recommend a book or a bookstore to sneak in. And it is easier to find people who like the same books you like.
The Goodreads Reading Challenge. Oh my. Such a guilty pleasure, such a lovely pain in the ass.
I am about to move out and I think I will try to take the opportunity to move on.
And maybe come back to the blog, because honestly, I kinda miss it.
