A quiet, uneventful Saturday. I mowed the front and back lawns and read some Kaleidotrope submissions. The goal is to finish all of January’s submissions by the end of April, all of February’s by the end of May, and March’s by the end of June. Which will be just in time for the zine to re-open to submissions in July. I don’t know if the number of submissions I get increased, or if I just fell really far behind — I think maybe a combination of the two — but I am kind of far behind. I’m kind of at the point where only two types of stories interest me: the kind that gives me a reason to quit reading right away, and the kind that never gives me a reason to quit reading.
I ended the evening by watching Fast Five. I’ve never seen any of the other four Fast & Furious movies, so I was occasionally lost (or just tuned out) when characters and back stories were introduced. But the movie was a surprising amount of fun. As I said on Twitter, it’s pretty much the unthinking man’s Ocean’s 11.
