I was slightly more productive in February than January. I'm not sure how, as the month flew by (even with the extra day in it this year) and I felt busy all the time. As usual, blogging produces most of my words.

I enjoy Milligan's work, so I bought this without knowing anything about the plot. It takes several characters from Greek mythology and places them in modern England. The problem is that I didn't connect with any of the characters, so I lost interest ...more
