Reading:
Every Last Drop by Charlie Huston.
— This is the fourth book in Huston’s hard-boiled vampire series, featuring
undead tough guy Joe Pitt. Half-life ain’t getting any easier for Joe, and,
early in the book, a cranky old bat chews his eye out.
The Promise of Water by Andrea Crossley Spencer — This is
a work-in-progress by a schoolmate about a man with a dark secret and a missing
sister. Feels like you’re going to see this one in the bookstore someday.
Fiction
Vortex — A brand new sci-fi e-zine
that picked up my short story, A
Feeble Gleam of Stars, for mid-June publication.
Writing:
I’m about 150 pages into the latest
revision of Leaving
Home. Having a good time ripping, shredding, and rebuilding … but I’m
kind of a masochist.
Listening to:
I don’t even know. Music, possibly
static. My brain hurts. But I’m intrigued by the new Snoop Lion disk.
Watching:
Doctor Who, the back half of Series Seven — I’ve
been a fan of the Doctor since high school, and was part of a startup fan club in
1988. The last few episodes … how can I say this gently … kind of bite. The new
companion is fine but Matt Smith seems to be thinking about something else.
Plus, the scripts suck eggs.
Defiance — Siffy went back to
science-fiction, and I kind of like it. There’s a lot of potential here, if
they can stop lifting ideas from everything else. Confession: When I first
heard the title, I secretly hoped it was a Deep
Space Nine spin-off.
Drinking:
A lot of water — My classroom gets
north of 80 degrees Fahrenheit in the afternoons. Gotta hydrate.
