thehefnerI do love me this song.
I got off of work this sunday so I can go to the big Baltimore ComicCon! WOOOT! I'll try to drag Kevin along so we can meet Mick Foley, who will hopefully be there both days.
Which means I can't do Ren Faire this Sunday after all. Sorry![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
777666 and WAC peeps who I was gonna surprise up there. Maybe in two weekends, since the weekend after is Small Press Expo. A whole convention of ink-stained indie comic creators with their Xerox-published wares, yayyyyy!
Just finished Black House, the superior sequel to one of my favorite novels, The Talisman, both by Stephen King and Peter Straub. God I loved this book so much. It really was everything I want from a book. Books like this, American Gods, The Brothers Karamazov, and The Unbearable Lightness of Being. They are books about dark subject matter, very serious and sometimes very disturbing things happening, but told with warmth and humanity. I'm not as much of a reader as I'd like to be. Books are such an investment for me and I hate hate hate wasting all that time and effort on something that isn't worth it.
That's why I like books on tape. I can listen while I drive, which is so much better than the radio, and even hearing it read to me helps my writing flow sooo much more. I started listening to Huck Finn, which I'd never read before. It's excellent so far, but I had to stop. I have more novel revising to do, and I didn't want the rest of my revisions done in a southern dialect. Next up on my listening list is On the Road, read by Frank Muller, which I'm so psyched about. Muller rules. I can't even imagine Stephen King's world if it isn't told by him anymore. I hope he'll someday be able to work again. Poor guy. After that, I may hunker down and listen to Ulysses, if only so I can have something to talk about when next I seedormsquirrel.
I gave Carolyn a card for King John. Now I just need to plot my next step.
