Cheez-its are not vegetarian

Today, blessedly free of pain, and somewhat saddened to have to work inside. It's sooooo beautiful outside.
Although one of the ladies brought Cheez its to work and it's very hard to resist.
I'm on a food tangent today. :) Don't know why, but all I'm thinking of is food. Maybe it's because it's near lunchtime.
The nights are cool and I've moved upstairs. I'm remodeling again, and turning my cave into a library and den. I have so many old books that I have to put them somewhere. I'm wary of putting them downstairs just because of the humidity. Maybe I'll keep them upsatirs. I don't know.
I'm easing my parents into the idea of me moving accross the country and I think they're ok with it. Empty nest syndrome is a very strange thing.

I went to Egypt a long time ago with my folks, and I bought this oldish looking book from some curio shop. It had some weird picture of some two headed god I couldn't identify (I think it's Janus). I hack-learned the arab alphabet and bought a dictionary, and it turned out that the book was a primer in numerology. I was kinda disappointed to find out later on that the book dates from 1890. I thought it would have cool if it were some clandestine forray into the occult from the Renaissance times. Odd though, any islamic government would have been just as intolerant with such "subversive" publications, as the Catholic church was in the Inquisition

Definately! The books I pick up are not nearly that old. Usually in the 1820-1911 range, but they still have that great old book smell.
I recently got one that was called Confessions of an English Opium Eater. It's really great. Half the book is just the author yelling at Coleridge and trying to vindicate himself. :)

An opium-eater yelling at an opium-eater. Interesting.
