also, the weather was gorgeous and work was slow
What I just finished reading:
sisters of the revolution, which like any anthology had some stories i really liked, some i thought were ok, and some i didn't like. nothing i actively hated, but a couple i just didn't get. like i thought the author was trying to say something i couldn't understand. on the plus side, i got to read some authors i'd heard of but were otherwise unfamiliar with, and i'm not sorry i backed it on kickstarter.
also the faust act and fandemonium, the first two trades of the wicked + the divine, which i am enjoying the hell out of. part of me wonders why i didn't start reading it when it came out, and the rest of me is totally ok with my choice because i liked being able to read so much of the story all at once.
What I am reading now:
i just finished fandemonium today, so nothing.
What I'm going to read next:
i ordered apiphile's as simple as hunger, but it hasn't shown up yet. but as soon as it comes in the mail, that.
tonight is writing night for my writing group - every other meeting we just write for a couple of hours, because otherwise no one has time - and i should be, you know, working on my submission for the next meeting. and it's danny and lily's how-they-met, so you'd think i'd be interested in it. but evidently not. one of my plans for the weekend is to do some laundry at my parents' house, because they're out of town and it will save me some quarters, and while the laundry is laundering i can write.
the streets of old paris - photos taken in the early 20th century. where was this when i was writing the parisbang last year?
illustrations of japanese fart battles - yes, really. drawings of men and women blowing each other away (literally) with the force of their farts.
some really gorgeous black and white tattoos. they look like woodcuts.
a tiny bohemian world - miniatures! decayed and messy and vaguely decadent in a fabulous bohemian-artist kind of way.
poem from the pov of a very cranky pluto. you gotta feel bad for pluto - we give it shit, tell it it's not even a planet any more, and then we cruise by its house and now we love it again.
earliest evidence of people eating chicken found in israel - i wonder if there's any evidence of when people started making them into soup, and what the equivalent of a matzo ball was.
