3 Things: sky-eye physics, baby, and books
Interesting article: Why is the sky blue instead of purple?
---------------------------
My landlords (and downstairs neighbors) finally have their new baby! Anton was born on Sunday, over two weeks late (ouch!), and came home yesterday. He's big for a newborn, though he's just as squinty and funny-faced as they all are, and he flails his arms in his sleep.
I'm glad I now have carpets, since they help muffle noise traveling between floors. This means I don't really hear him crying (it sounds kind of like a lost cat, not a wailing baby), and my movements are less likely to disturb him.
---------------------------
Last night I gave in and read the dustjacket blurb of HBP. Damnit. I had been so determinedly not caring about the upcoming release that I didn't even know there was supposed to be another death, until about 10 days ago. And now just after reading a three or so paragraph blurb, I have all sorts of wild speculations swirling around in my head.
Tomorrow. I will not start reading until tomorrow.
*puts on resolve face*
I have a cunning plan to only bring two books on vacation with me. One is HBP. The other is War and Peace. I figure that unless we get trapped in the cabin 24/7 by thunderstorms, which also kill our internet connection, there is no POSSIBLE way for me to run out of reading material. :-)
