is it crunchy? do kittens like it?

i dunno. i went home from work today feeling decidedly crappy and slept solid from 3pm until 8pm. need to stay awake now to sleep through the night and feeling very sad about missing another rehearsal.
i'm about halfway through Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, and i'm plodding on with the grim determination that i applied to The Witching Hour - i can see the edges of something great here, and i'm sure that if i read on i'll be rewarded. right? right?*
meanwhile, i've got a list of other thick novels i'd like to read. i'm tempted to ditch it for other things, but i've put in the time now and i know that if i stop i won't remember enough to pick it up again without starting over.

so, peanut gallery...

*The Witching Hour never paid off. i can't believe i actually tried reading the sequels in hopes of the story i wanted appearing. those are hours of my life i'll never get back.

I'm sure I can find something else to use to press water out of tofu in the meantime.

i wish i had thought of that for the last option. it's beautiful. the real question is: is it worth wrapping in plastic before you do so?

I am unable to knowingly allow a book to come to harm, even if I hated it. I had curry explode from a container onto a bell hooks and I was fraught for days. I do:

book
plate
paper towels
half of tofu sliced lengthwise
more paper towels
other half of tofu
yet more paper towels
plate

, so there's no risk of water damage.

I'm thinking it might be smarter to do it in the sink and get rid of the paper towels step, though.
