Five Star Friday's Edition #60

It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.

   — Anais Nin

This week's roundup of blogular goodness is being brought to you from the noisiest coffee shop I have ever been in. The internet is out at home, despite our provider's assurance that we would experience no alteration in our service, so I ended up here, where babies scream and a man continually sucks the mucus from his sinuses and the acoustics cause the espresso machine to sound like a landing airplane.

I have had some concentration issues, to say the least.

But! There's always the brighter side of the coin. It is Five Star Friday, and there is good reading to be done. Happy Friday!
