Memories...

This week has been Forgetfulness Week chez Stoutfellow.

On Tuesday, I forgot my glasses when I went to work. When one of my students asked me to go over a homework problem in class, I had to have her read it to me.

Yesterday, I left the textbooks for both of the day's classes at home, and had to borrow them from students for the duration of class.

Also yesterday, the weather having turned autumnal, I wore my windbreaker to the office - and left it there when I went to class. I had no time to go back and retrieve it before the bus came. The temperature was, thankfully, only autumnal on my way home - I don't have an evening class that day.

Today, though, is predicted to be chilly. I'm not leaving the house. (I have to take Gracie to the vet tomorrow, but it should be warmer.)

Books! Music! Movie!

Well, as promised, I paid a visit to Amazon today. The haul:

E-books: Larry Sabato's A More Perfect Constitution; David Reich's Who We Are and How We Got Here (about DNA studies and prehistory); Amor Towles' A Gentleman in Moscow; Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet; James Alan Gardner's All Those Explosions Were Someone Else's Fault; and the second, third, and second books in the Expanse (James Corey), Kitty Norville (Carrie Vaughn), and The Great Way (Harry Connolly) series respectively.

Dead tree books: Sarah Murray, The Semantics of Evidentials (linguistics); Bill Willingham, War and Pieces (continuing the Fables series); Edward Luttwak, The Grand Strategy of the Byzantine Empire (I have his books on the Roman Empire and the Soviet Union).

Music: Joan Jett, "Greatest Hits"; Woody Guthrie, "100th Anniversary Collection"; Chad & Jeremy, "Yesterday's Gone"

DVD: "The Incredible Hulk (2008)". I'm gathering as much of the MCU as I can. Maybe a marathon Thanksgiving week.
