What a day! Oh my.
It began last night actually. I went to the Naked Girls Reading show, and was quite enjoying myself–listening to the girls reading aloud from their books. By midway through the second hour I felt that nodding-off feeling creeping up, and that is when I realized: I miss being read to sleep.
