Ah, the joys of photographing books on a black bookshelf in my dark-ass bedroom.
I did not buy many books in August. I, uh, fixed that problem in September. Also notable is that three of the books on the shelf are ARCs, sent to me for free for a review, which is always fun. That second Thom Hartmann book will be getting a read real soon and a review in the next few days, for example.
Cosplay and broasted potatoes. More cons should feature food trucks with broasted potatoes. Also, the two panorama-style photos are from the cosplay contest, which … Jesus.
Cosplay! Getcha cosplay right here! Highlight of the day: selling not one but two books to Genderbent Freddy Krueger In Comfortable Ugg Boots. Second highlight is the mother-daughter Wonder Woman combination, because come on.
Ain’t panorama mode cool? I didn’t do a ton today, mostly just rearranged desks and got my bulletin boards covered. There’s a banner on that stretch of wall to the extreme left that happened after the picture and you probably can’t see the number line on the far right. Monday I’ll get some stuff on the wall in the back by my desk and quite possibly swap some desks out for a round table, which will fix a lot of the tightness issues, which are mostly on the far side of the room.
Sooner or later I need to think about curriculum, too, but … yeah. Sooner or later. I met several of the teachers on my team today and a few that weren’t, and it was really interesting to me to hear myself swing back and forth from sounding like a burnout to … well, not. But there’s definitely some burnout talk happening. Hoping to get that killed off before school starts. We’ll see. Five more days!
I’m not watching the debates; I don’t have the energy right now. I’ll pick back up with them once the also-rans are gone and the folks on stage are actually all credible candidates.
Meanwhile, have this:
