Reading: I'm picking at the last twenty pages of Iron Council like a punk-ass ten year old who refuses to finish his dinner.

Planning: Off to see family this weekend. It is the largest gathering of my cousins in over a decade. I cannot wait.

Wearing: Jeans and a Dragon Day t-shirt.

Writing: I picked up a young adult fantasy story again and ( Read more... )

Reading: still going through The Scar. Also, Subsidiaries: A Guide to Pentex

Planning: Winery trip

Wearing: Work clothes

Writing: A story that seems to be alternating between chapters that are plot and chapter that are a guide to magic (within the story) that the protagonist is reading. I dunno. Its funky.

It's funny, I wasn't too interested in wrapping up Iron Council. It was my least favorite Crobuzon story (though Perdido Street Station had my least favorite conceit).

R: The Way of Shadows, Brent Weeks. It's alright, so far. Not a fan of the worldbuilding or the prose, but the story's pretty neat.

P: I printed up my newly-purchased copy of How to Host a Dungeon, and it's exactly what I needed. I'm going to make lots of dungeons for a few weeks, most likely.

W: Lame t-shirt with wolves and mountains on it (laundry day), gray slacks.

W: Nothing ... a camping trip with the kids ending in a 4am drive home has zombified me.

Reading Kim Stanley Robinson's Three Californias trilogy, on and off again. Currently about two-thirds of the way through Pacific Edge, the utopian book. I no longer have The Gold Coast, which I will most likely hunt down in the next few weeks ( ... )

I can go on and on, can't I? I must be procrastinating.

Reading: I finished The Invention of Hugh Cabret, which is utterly delightful. I'm halfway through Michael Burstein's collection I Remember the Future, which is classic sf for my generation, e.g., all this and characterization too. I am very glad I'd read the second story in the collection before, because the first is the weakest, in my extremely arrogant opinion (and I'm hoping I can chat with Michael about that some time). The rest, what I like about them? The loose ends -- not plot loose ends, but the things just there, showing that, while the issue in the story is resolved, the world as a whole is not that simple. Heck, even in the first story, that's one of the things I liked ( ... )
