Yesterday was the National Book Festival
It's always a lot of fun. Lots of kids attending kid-friendly events, but lots of events for adults too. I like seeing the t-shirts people choose to wear. My favorite speaker was John Scalzi, my last event of the day. He's a very entertaining speaker. I managed to resist most of the trinkets and souvenirs. I have enough pencils. But I had to get the annual bag.
Last weekend Jen (snycock) was in town. We had dinner at an excellent seafood restaurant. Hard to believe I hadn't seen her in six years. It was so good to catch up. She recommended a show called Poker Face, about a woman who can always tell when someone is lying. It's really good. Lots of great actors and the director/creator is Rian Johnson.
Books: Been catching up with authors I haven't read in a while. Finally read The World We Made by N.K. Jemison. Great sequel. Also reading the newest Donna Andrews, Birder, She Wrote.
Movies: Earlier this week I saw Barbie. I think it's a little overhyped. It was good but not a billion dollars good. The acting was excellent. America Ferrari was outstanding. She had to deliver some really tough lines and did it well.
And here's a photo I haven't done in a while: the results of my visit to the farmers market.
It's hard not to overbuy.
