I'm back. With a vengence? No, with links and photos!
Posted Jul 22, 2024
I traveled around Washington with my family for a little over a week. My sibling C lives up there, so we picked them up, stayed a few days in an AirBnB, hiking and walking and such, and then went back to Seattle for Seattle-y things. It was fun. It was beautiful.
Here are some photos. This is my first time using my Flickr account, so I hope I did everything right! Enjoy!
We visited a few bookshops while we were there. At Charlie's Queer Books I got The Hours by Michael Cunningham, and at Ophelia's Used Books I got Mrs Dalloway's Party and A Room Of One's Own and Three Guineas. I'd known about Mrs Dalloway's Party, and had previously failed to find the ebook. The cashier said that it was a bit elusive, and that the one I had picked up was actually the first paperback edition published! Which I was very happy to hear.
My Virginia Woolf collection has grown substantially.
Notes:
- I've been enjoying Bookjotter, who's weekly wrap ups nearly burst with quality conent. It's a little overwhelming. I love it.
- Via MeFi, Flaming Puck Hockey.
- I have been thoroughly enjoying making booklets, which have been the answer to the constant guilt of printing too much. I love tech but I just cannot immerse myself in text-on-screen! Thanks to this, I was pointed in the right direction and have been printing using Boomaga. This way I can read a 22 page essay while only using 6 pages of paper. Brilliant!
- I'm reckoning with myself whether or not to watch the 1983 To the Lighthouse movie. I think I'll base my decision on if it got good reviews.
- My friend got me on Whering, and I had a wonderful time taking pictures and logging my wardrobe. We'll see where it takes me.
