Nine things
1. Things are a bit manic right now, hopefully to settle down soon-ish.
2. Have been enjoying much reading of books lately: Patron Saint of Plagues by Barth Anderson, Assembling California by the mighty John McPhee in the compilation Annals of the Former World (and, boy, am I looking forward to reading Uncommon Carriers, his new book about freight!!!), and Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowel. All these books have given me happy.
3. Pseudopod, the new horror/dark fantasy podcast (and sister to Escape Pod) has made its debut. Hurray!
4. There was ridiculous snacking on Saturday. Breakfast at the City Bakery (granola, yogurt, fresh berries), associated with a visit to Poisoned Pen Central, a very fine mystery bookstore that only makes me wish we had a very fine science fiction bookstore, and dinner at Delux, where one goes for outstanding fancy burgers and over 40 beers on tap (I enjoyed the Rogue Hazelnut), and then ice cream at an old-fashion-y ice cream parlor deep in the white suburbs. Yum. Burp. Burst.
5. I have a Kung Fu test this week, probably. Not ready. Never am. Nonetheless.
6. There's other stuff that I'm nervous about that'll probably turn out fine and be good but it's the sort of thing that makes me nervous and hopefully it'll all be settled soon and work out well and then I can talk about it.
7. Many doodles to draw for people who pre-ordered my chapbook. I expected this to be fun, and I was right. Still time to pre-order and get a doodle!
8. Tim and Heather called to say they picked up the chapbook from the printer and that it looks awesome. Of course it does. They're the Best Chapbook Publishers Ever!
9. Picking at the novel. Picking. Picking.

Thanks, dude. Wish I could be there for your reading, but not the right time for a road trip, alas!

Okay, it's pre-ordered.
Good luck on 5 and 6.
