7-9 Mai 2010: Quarantine. You know how there are some words you just remember where and when you learnt them? Quarantine is one of them for me. We can attribute this addition to my vocabulary to a very prominent episode of Salute Your Shorts where cabin by cabin everyone was succumbing to poison ivy. Sadly my quarantine has not been as sitcom worthy - it’s been me. In my room. Pot of tea on one side of me. Non-functioning Internet on the other. I was only conscious for 15% of yesterday and the day before, so the lack of Internet wasn’t much of an issue.
I have been getting a lot of reading done in my newest venture The Year Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs, which is an interesting journey for an agnostic (possibly atheist) like me. Jacobs, a secular Jew, attempts to live a year taking the Bible as literally as he can work out to do. Obviously shenanigans ensue. That’s the most prolific I can describe it in my current clouded-mindedness. I’m a bit more than halfway through, and I recommend it to all - religious or not.
