a good day

i spent 5 hours today reading cover to cover the biography of a radical cataloger at the nypl (new york public library) for a paper soon to be due. it was incredibly satisfying. not just to sit in that great hall, but to read a book cover to cover for the first time in one sitting. my walk to the subway took me through grand central station- another great hall. at home i devoured a slice of thin triangle cut pizza and pounded out a paper in response to an article. i have tiger balm on my right wrist now. the tendons ache from writing and typing, but the pain is worth the satisfaction of such a productive day.
