ahhh, blissful day off

[mandie_rw]

I did absolutely nothing productive, at least in a measurable sense! I walked to the library (I always feel excessively good about myself when I walk anywhere, as I am the laziest piece of crap you'll ever meet), picked up my book and a couple movies (YES I am an old person NO I do not have Netflix), and read all of The Handmaid's Tale in three hours. Partly because I really didn't want to put it down, partly because it's my day off, dammit, and I CAN. Really good, and somehow I hadn't realized it's as old as it is (ha, yeah I know 1985 isn't old), because its themes are so disturbingly current. I do love me a good dystopian novel.

It is super disturbingly current, isn't it? :-/

It is!! I immediately thought of the one guy who recently referred to women as "hosts"...ugh.
