Fooled by the light...
I look out the window of my "semi-basement" office (the room is about halfway embedded in the shale that surrounds the house) and I see it is still light. For this reason, I for some reason conclude that it's around 5 pm or 6 pm.
I am only a couple, nearly three, hours off.
There's work on the plate for tomorrow, which is good.
Some extra items related to LJ Idol are coming up, too, but I think I have those under control.
I continue to go through boxes of books and wonder if, for example, I really need to hang on to Introductory Quantum Mechanics for the Solid State? There's a part of me that says, "You spent more time with that book than you did with your friends during junior year; you can't just throw it out." Yet there's another part of me that says, "Unlike algebra and differential calculus, quantum theory really has no readily apparent real-life use. Still, the next time you find yourself with a need to jot down the Schrödinger equation for any reason whatsoever, you can look the blessed thing up on Google; throw it out."
I expect variations of this argument to echo around the inside of my mind for a while. Necessity (in the form of physical space) dictates getting rid of the books, but there will be a number of cases where other factors will trump necessity.
Maybe I should open a bookstore?
Cheers...
