Saturday, January 16

Novel this week was Some Buried Caesar, a Wolfe novel I picked because it is the first to feature Lily Rowan. She is quite a number in this book! And always, of course.

Seem to be sticking closely to comfort reading. Well, we had a rough week.

Listening to Guns, Germs, and Steel. More or less forcing myself to finish it despite finding it very boring. Except the section on language development, which could have been ten times longer and more detailed.

Also reading some stuff for work, but not yet in any orderly way.

Seeing: yesterday and today I watched 150 auditions. Ten (at most) were dazzling, ten (at most) were bad, and the rest were solid, respectable, watchable. I love actors, so it's not a bad way to spend time as far as I'm concerned.

Seeing: Natey and I watched G-Force once and Hotel for Dogs a half dozen times. The ending of H for D is sweet and makes me cry, but still in all I'd prefer not to watch it so much. Then again, rough week, and if Natey wanted to watch it while his Dad was gone and his Grandma was dying, why not?
