Crappy day

[avram]

This here been one of them crappy days. Hot and sweaty, felt like someone had turned up the local gravity, and on top of that I had a headache for most of the evening. Didn’t feel like doing much of anything. Managed to get laundry done, strolled around the neighborhood a bit, had some iced tea and a brownie at Basic. Haven’t drawn anything in what feels like forever.

I’m currently just about halfway through Rafael Sabatini’s Scaramouche. D’you think if they made another movie of it nowadays, the distributor would work up some kind of cross-promotion with Fandango? Anyway, it’s fabulous. Lots of snappy dialog, philosophical arguments, and intriguing. I’ll have to read Sabatini’s Captain Blood at some point, but I’ve got a stack of other books that need attending to. Bruce Sterling The Zenith Angle recently came out in paper, as did Charlie Stross’s Iron Sunrise and The Family Trade, and I’ve also got Cory Doctorow’s new book, Someome Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town, and John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War. I need to start reading faster.

"Born with the gift of laughter and the sense that the world was mad." Great opening.
