Our scene: futzing around to fix dinner and feeding the cats. I come upstairs with frozen pizza and hear my spouse saying sweetly to our profoundly deaf cat: “And entropy is the only constant, isn’t that right Patrick?”
Finished STARLING HOUSE today and am in such a delightful fugue state. There’s such a sense of grounded reality to it, I’m going to be feral about this for ages
TFW you’ve been reading a ton on your kindle lately and then switch to a physical book and realize midway through the motion that you Cannot long press a word in the physical book to make the definition pop up 🤦🏻♀️
