This evening in passing I mentioned that dogs can be perfectly healthy on a vegan diet. This, by the way, is a good thing. Because killing in order to eat is terrible. I got attacked for saying this. Called an idiot. 41 downvotes last I checked. Then on fb I said in a science group that every online interaction is a master debate that requires citations. Look stuff up yourself or at least be polite when asking. (This wasn't tied to any topic whatsoever.) Of course the response was I'm wrong in every way with many agreeing. So attacked for saying be polite and don't need to eat animals. And maybe plays a role in my insomnia. But maybe the biggest issue is I gave up on fruit. I forced myself to eat it for 3 or 4 months and slept great the whole time. Finally just couldn't do it last few weeks and have slept bad. 2AM now and wide awake. Supposed to play tennis tomorrow also. So that is perhaps solvable. Get some kiwi. Choke down some mushy bananas. My creatinine is back down to 1.22. So that's great. My tennis game is its best ever. My back has been hanging on ok. Juggling 4 balls for 5 seconds. Hawth is a bit of a pain and Langs is pretty damn pouty. But they're still wonderful. Writing is not great but not nothing. Otherwise by John Crowley Beasts just ends abruptly. Doesn't really go anywhere. Little, Big has no adversity of antagonist so I gave up 30% in. Engine summer was the same. The Deep was confusing. A tired medieval civil war plot and a lot of telling instead of showing. That's it for Crowley. Final book of Lightbringer by Brent Weeks. Way too didactic about religion. Too many speeches. Too many heart to heart talks. Could have cut out more than half the book. Innocents Abroad by Gene Wolfe 76% in. It's pretty good but not a page turner. Impossible to summarize. Doesn't have a Forlesen or Death of Dr. Island.
