Theory!

Our minds are like inverse projectors. Images, sounds, and other input come in through a lens and are reflected off a mirror into a core for processing. The mirror is actually the surface of pool of underlying thoughts that we don’t really notice in day to day life. A mirror made of subconscious. When those thoughts change, the surface and the reflections change and subsequently the world seems to change. Our differences in perception are based on pools full of stuff we can’t see.

Early morning logic

You know how when you read a fat book, and you get near the end and you think "i can finish this off in no time, there's only this little sliver of pages left,' and then the sliver is like 200 pages but just looks small because you've already read 700?

Then the next 3 or 4 times you pick up the book, it's frustrating to nit be able to finish swiftly?

and it changes the mood of the entire book because of that mindset that's bestowed upon the last 9 chapters or whatever?

That's totally happening to me right now. I want the goddamn book to be over.

But I wouldn't want it to be over if I didn't have to see that there's just a sliver left, because I like the book.

This is why I think i want an e-reader.

To eliminate the sliver effect.
