Reading:
Good
Kids by Ben Nugent – a coming-of-age-loss-of-innocence
tale about two people who made each other a promise in early days and now … The
theme and voice reminds me a bit of “Adults” by Alison Espach. “Okay, we’re grown up … now what?”
Mr.
Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan – a short story written by a
Google futurist is expanded into a novel with (so far) no sign of stretch marks.
Love of a girl, love of books, and love
of computers, wrapped up in a quest for the ultimate. You can catch the short
story on Escape Pod.
Listening
to:
Boys
& Girls by Alabama Shakes. Love
this album. Bluesy rock goodness from Georgia. Right up there with peaches and
REM.
77 by the Talking
Heads. The debut of one of my favorite
bands. "Psycho Killer." ‘Nuff said.
Writing:
I’m
nearly happy with the second act of the Mercury novella.
Drinking:
Snowgaritas
– take your favorite margarita recipe and replace the ice with snow. A seasonal
specialty.
Watching:
Double Divas -- Two friends save relationships and keep the "girls" comfortable with their lingerie shop outside Atlanta. A series on Lifetime.
