Wednesday Reading
Currently, I'm reading Forever and Ever by Patricia Gaffney, last in the Wyckerley trilogy - this is for an online discussion that will happen in August.
In About Time Three, I'm on Pertwee's final season. When I'm done with this volume, I'll decide if I want to move immediately to volume four, or read a different nonfiction book instead, for a ( Read more... ) -
Another weekend is past
I picked one of the two August 1st deadlines I had and went back to writing on Saturday morning. This one does not, shockingly, require BDSM or dom/sub (though the editor listed those things as something she might be interested in). Most importantly, the call for submissions lists a whole range of genres! She's not just looking for contemporary ( Read more... ) -
Pacific Rim (2013)
I saw "Pacific Rim" on Tuesday night and really enjoyed it, despite not always following everything that happened in the giant jaeger mecha versus kaiju fight scenes. It is not an original movie. But that is not bad, because it is more of an avatar of giant robot/monster movies/anime. Also, the acting was good and was allowed to be over the top ( Read more... ) -
Back to the World
Readercon was good, but some of the joy leached out when I heard about the Trayvon Martin killing verdict at breakfast on Sunday. It was terrific but exhausting to see so many people, as usual. My panels all seemed to go well ( Read more... ) -
On the road again
Am heading out to Readercon today, a many-staged journey. Looking forward to seeing everyone! -
Wednesday Reading
I'm still working through Patricia McKillip re-reads for a Readercon panel, but it's more bits and pieces now, so I'm not sure if that counts. If I don't re-read all the way through, that is, it doesn't feel like I actually read it.
I decided I needed to remind myself about Fool's Run, which as far as I know is McKillip's only SF novel. [edited ( Read more... ) -
Lifting while traveling
In the 5X5 lifting program, I'm up to 115 pounds for squats and 75 for bench presses and barbell rows. I don't feel entirely settled in my form for barbell rows; need to pay more attention to that, as one of my last sets felt easier than the first couple, which was weird. Unless it had to do with taking a break in the middle, since a squat rack ( Read more... ) -
Sleep Sounds
Do you have sound in your dreams?
Mine are sometimes really noisy. I know this because if awakened unexpectedly from a dream, I'm startled by how quiet it is in my room. Then I wonder if there was a real noise that woke me, and sometimes there is, but it's a different noise than the ones I was dreaming. -

Wednesday Reading
One of my molar crowns came off last night. I hate that. It's so icky. Luckily, I did not swallow or lose the crown, and have an apppointment to have it stuck back on, later this afternoon. Chewing: such a privilege! I appreciate it very much ( Read more... )
