Working for the Weekend

Had a lovely cookout with Lea, Val, Lloyd, Sarah and Dave. Gorgeous day for it, and LOTS of food. Nice to chill out and hang with people. Heading shortly to go see "X-Men: First Class." Will be taping "Doctor Who," and may well watch it when we get home. Mostly taking it easy today, because I've been fried. Trying to catch up with myself a bit, as work has been a bit on the demanding side, lately, and I feel like I'm constantly playing catch-up with myself. Taking a few days off Radius, even though I have things in hand ready to go. It's probably good to pause once in a while and let readers catch up. It'll be back, though. Oh, boy. Will it ever. On the other hand, Pop Culture Notebook has been moving right along.

Have lots of books I need to catch up on, too. Just got G. Murray Thomas' My Kidney Has Arrived (Tebot Bach) in the mail today, and while I've poked at them, I haven't yet spent any quality time with Paul Suntup's Sunset at the Temple of Olives, Buddy Wakefield's Gentleman Practice or David Perez's Love in a Time of Robot Apocalypse (all Write Bloody). So much fabulous poetry, so little time in a day. Will catch up, soon.
