I end up staying up all night, trying to FINISH THAT NOVEL! So I have taken over the living room couch, which has a fairly massive "scholar's mistress" on it, and a table with lamp next to it, and a stereo across the way, and a lap-cat to act as book-prop. The cat will probably have spinal difficulties someday as a result of propping up everything and anything readable. I like either a cup of good coffee in the morning, or a glass of Stolichnaya in the evening. My life seems to go through periods of intense activities and harried schedules, followed by periods of reading five hours a night and letting everything else go to the birds. That's why I like the weather in the Bay Area. It only gets obnoxiously sunny for a month or two out of the year, the rest of the time is a monotonous overcast that lends itself well as an excuse to stay inside and read.
