inhaling

Recent internet trawling also turned up another graphic novel memoir ... Stitches by David Small. It arrived from amazon yesterday and I ate it up all in one gulp. Even at 325 pages it's a fast read. BUT. I know I did little more than just skim it, and it's the kind of thing that I will come back to over and over and over again. It's spare, lasering in on very specific childhood horrors... but so visceral. There's a lot of screaming encased in these pages.

In a weird way it might be the perfect springboard for the dark_fest thing I'm trying to write.

In other randomness, I missed the White Collar season finale as I was out laughing at sparkly vampires ... but I LOATHE cliffhangers, and I hear we got one. Should I bother to seek it out, knowing it might annoy me muchly, or do I just wait until they ramp up again for season two and catch it then? Thoughts?

I keep seeing, in various places, mention of this: letiantorest and every time I have seen it I have misread it as Letian Forest. Anyone need to name a forest? LOL. It's yours.

Having lunch today (at Taco Bell. Goodbye diet) with my last remaining (more or less) friend from high school. We've got a weird dynamic going on. Increasingly we have just nothing in common, but we've been friends for so long I don't think either of us wants to stop being friends. I don't know. It's just weird. We get along fine as long as the only thing we talk about is how much work sucks.

OK, speaking of work, it's time to get back this film about Rwandan genocide...
