Dear livejournal,

Today has been pretty uneventful. I'm almost finished with Out of this furnance by Thomas Bell. It's a novel about three generations of "Slovak" immigrant labor in Pennsylvania. It's a solid read. The writing is pretty straight forward. I like it more for the local history/cultural aspect than for anything else. I have a few pages left. I have so many books that I want to read. I feel like I'll never be able to get them all done in my lifetime.

It rained really hard all day, so it's been pretty comfortable inside my house. My basement flooded again. Blah. The lights have been flickering on and off because of the power surges. I finally put a screen in my window so there shouldn't be anymore annoying bugs crawling in. I went to C's waffle house with Phill Cresswell today. I got chicken parmesean and a salad. It was pretty radical. Phill C. got all you can eat spaghetti. We caught up with eachother. Pretty boring stuff.
