It’s Memorial Day weekend, and the weather’s just been lovely, sort of perfect sit-in-the-backyard-with-the-iPad weather. Beyond that, and the ever-growing Kaleidotrope slush pile that I’m still trying to get through, I spent today watching Doctor Who Confidential and some of the special features on the Mystery Team DVD, finishing the New York Times Sunday crossword (for a change), meeting up with a friend for our weekly writing group, and reading the rest of Fifth Business by Robertson Davies. Heather, who sent me the book at my birthday, calls it “the bane of every twelfth grade student” in her native Canada (where the book is largely set), but I kind of liked it. There was a long stretch, in which nothing particularly happens, when I wasn’t so sure that was going to be the case, but I can actually see going on and reading the other two books in Davies’ trilogy. Not right now, of course — I feel like I need a good shot of science fiction to counteract my recent readings — but at some point in the future.
My more immediate future, however, involves maybe watching a little television, maybe reading a little more, and going to bed.
Glad you enjoyed it!
