I hadn’t read When Gravity Fails before. I could recommend it to several people, and I wouldn’t be surprised if I read it again sometime in the future.
I hadn’t read The Fermata before. It was good for a while, but I guess I became dissatisfied with it by the time it was done. Still, I might recommend it to some people I know.
I got a new pair of glasses today. The pair that I replaced have had broken frames for nearly eleven months.
I hadn’t read The Physiognomy before, and likely won’t read it again. I thought it had a lot of promise, but turned out not to be very well written.
I had not read this book before, and will probably not read it again. It covers a lot of topics that I’m interested in, and I would recommend the book to people who are already interested in reading it. Like many non-fiction books that take controversial positions, it felt more like a heavily-footnoted opinion piece than a source of reliable information.
When I watch a film, I will post in this category about it.
Before this, I had read part (maybe all) of Peace on Earth when I was in high school or earlier. I probably won’t read it again. It’s interesting enough to tell people about, but not good enough to recommend to anyone.

When I read a book, I will post in this category about it.
I installed a different blog software this afternoon. It supports categories, and many other features (most of them internal). Its file storage system is based on that of the previous blog software that I was using, so all of the earlier posts were easily retained (although time-stamps seem to be inaccurate now). I’m sorry to say that I spent more time than I would have liked on changing the new theme to resemble my old theme.
I cut my hair this weekend. Usually I just trim it all to the same length, but I tried trimming the sides shorter than the top this time. It turned out fine. I was concerned that there would be an obvious, maybe irregular edge where the lengths changed, but I couldn’t tell at all. The longer guard was 7/8” and the shorter guard was 3/8”.
I went to a bit of effort to pin back the top of my hair (it hadn’t been cut since early fall), trim the sides, then unpin the remaining hair and trim it with a longer guard.
