Reading:
“The
Big Over Easy” by Jasper
Fforde — Humpty Dumpty is dead, and the sad sacks at the Nursery Crimes
Division must figure out who put him in
pieces. Fun and meta-fictional police-procedural.
“The
Man Who Quit Money” by Mark
Sundeen — Daniel Suelo hasn’t used
money in thirteen years. He lives in cave, barters, and is such a cool guy that
other people just give him stuff. A
great piece of narrative nonfiction.
Writing:
Just finished a short story inspired by a fried-chicken errand.
Plugging away at a seventies SF novella.
Listening to:
“Signed
and Sealed in Blood” by the Dropkick
Murphys — This thing has been out for a while (it includes a Christmas
song), but I only picked it up a couple of weeks ago. Rousing, which is what I need at times.
“Superfly”
by Curtis
Mayfield — Super seventies soundtrack. Helps to get me into the right
mindset for my current long-form fiction project.
Watching:
“Jeremiah” — Two seasons
of post-apocalypto from Showtime. All the adults got sick and died fifteen
years ago, so everyone left grew up as orphans.
“King of the Nerds” — A guilty
pleasure if there ever was one. Ridiculous.
Drinking:
New Albion
Ale — One of Sam Adam’s limited releases. Light and tasty.
Chamomile
Tea — Blocks those betas!
-- This is the first of weekly or so updates on what's new and cool in my life in terms of books, bands, and beverages.
