i'm just about to finish the black dahlia, which jay and i picked up before the illusionist a few weeks ago. i didn't start it until this past week though, and every time i find a spare minute i try to squeeze in a few pages.
i started reading this book in high school, ninth grade, and i'm reminded why i stopped.
my short attention span. the first sixty pages or so sort of float around, giving you a general feeling of the main character.
normally, by page sixty i feel i should have an outline of where the story is going.
anyway, it got progressively better and i'm now curious how they will have this transferred to film.

tomorrow is my first day off in about ten days, with two doubles under my belt. i've had a couple of short shifts to make up for this lost time but i'm still exhausted. here's hoping the new key they hired is competent, although i wouldn't put money on it.
tomorrow is also the lego star wars:original trilogy release date. i'm going to throw all the windows open and nap and read in the cold living room until jay gets home from school and we can play video games together.
that's an outline for a perfect day off for me.
