Well, I'm back from my little trip to visit my folks. It was uneventful, which is always a Good Thing.

I didn't take my computer with me so I didn't get any writing done for a few days--I did bring a couple of books with me and managed to finish reading both of them. Read one of them in one day. It's been a long time since I've done something like that. For the record they were both 87th Precinct novels, which I recommend to you once again.

And right now I'm finishing up my laundry, and then I'm going to relax a while before diving back into this world I've created with The Harvester of Faces.

Do me a favor and listen to this. Of my own tunes this is one of my favorites, and comes the closest to the type of music I like to listen to. If you dig it, too, feel free to download it and share it with anyone else who might like it. You'd be doing me a favor.

I've made a couple of astonishing discoveries about myself over the past few days:

• While I will watch--and enjoy--it on TV, I really don't give a rat's ass about college football. I don't know when this happened. I used to have pretty strong and often controversial opinions about it. Those days are gone.
• I don't care all that much about those big, blockbuster movies anymore. Those used to be the only ones I really wanted to see--now I find them tiresome. There are exceptions, of course--I'd like to see The Avengers, for example, because I dig Joss Whedon's style--but for the most part they just make me feel tired. I like more personal films now, which I also find a bit surprising. I shouldn't though, because the two screenplays I've written that I'm happiest with--Seer, and Seer II--are both small, personal films. So, maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

And it's almost time to put another load in the dryer. Until next time . . .
