mom's been feed and the senior center bus has picked her up. i think i'll go back to bed now.

Reading:
Nausicaa (manga) 
I'm enjoying the heck out of this. I'm not a big animu/mango fan but Nausicaa is my favorite anime movie. I love the flying. The hippy tree hugging stuff is good too.
King Lear 
My second favorite Shakespearean play after The Tempest. It's research for my book. I'm trying to expand my Elizabethan vocabulary.
Homeland: The Dark Elf Trilogy, Part 1 (Forgotten Realms: The Legend of Drizzt, Book I) (Bk. 1) by R. A. Salvatore. 
Well isn't that a mouthful. That's how Amazon lists it. This is also research. Since I'm writing fantasy I suppose I should read more of it, like this for instance since it seems pretty popular.

next: Battle Royale by Koushun Takami 
A random FB friend mentioned that Hunger Games was ripped off from this. I watched the movie version of Battle Royale and yeah, Suzanne Collins really ought to be paying royalties to Takami. That said, I'm still cautiously looking forward to the Hunger Games movie.
Planning:
On eventual employment. I'm sending out resumes.
Friends' band is playing tomorrow. It isn't my kind of music but I haven't seen any of those guys since I got back so I'll make the effort.

Writing:
Editing the second half of chapter one for submission to my horrible writing group. I got crit back from the facilitator. It was tiny and not helpful.
Wearing:
My nice, long, wool jackets have been bedbug decontaminated. I've been looking like a schlub wearing my superwarm puffy jacket that I got from Ross Dress For Less for $15 which is already falling apart. I need to buy a needle and thread.
