Another Busy Listening Week
Well, that didn’t go the way I thought it would.
I downloaded 11 books last week, some of which were magazines. Some were kind of short, so I found myself without books to read before![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
lanalucy called for editing on Wednesday afternoon. I leaned on my movies to take up some of the dead time -- Duck Soup, His Girl Friday, Oppenheimer, Wild Hogs, Stargate Continuum, Office Space, Young Frankenstein, and a couple more, plus some recent Looney Tunes episodes, about ten of them. I have four of the Looney Tunes episodes left on my player. Fortunately, this week got me 19 new titles, though again some of them are a bit short, though a couple are also very long.
I’m consuming a lot of books and magazines in a given week. And I’m happy I got my hands on another book from one of my A-list writers, Seanan Maguire. For those of you interested, my A list is, in no particular order, Kristine Katherine Rusch, John Scalzi, Adam Troy Castro, Suzanne Palmer, Daryl Gregory, Natalie Zena Walshotz, Seanan Maguire, Neal Stephenson, and Jim Butcher to some extent. I’ll read anything they write.
Another good piece of news in the literary front – BARD has Last Dangerous Visions, so that’s one I’ll try to get to this week.
I’m hoping my descriptive movie source has things I want to listen to, because I’m about out of anything there. The last two months have gone a long way toward cleaning my player out close to empty.
I'm also knocking out short fiction. I've been writing some stuff that's edging on horror fiction a bit more.
Otherwise, I'm not thinking about the rough anniversaries coming up, because I'm tired of early April's event-induced depression.

Well, you'd think after this long some of it would ease back, but I get regular reminders of the thermonuclear outhouse fire that situation created, so it keeps getting the scabbed over stuff reopened. And at least there's a very good thing at the end of it -- there's an interesting symmetry in it all, from something that came way close to killing me in such a close prelude to me getting a major reprieve from the reaper.
I keep coming back to Jerry Purnell's take on the famous line, "That which doesn't kill me has made a grave tactical error."
