Another Post

I keep getting delayed. Or rather, I keep delaying. Or is that procrastinating?

I just gotta do one more pass at my short stories. One more, then I mail them off to the magazines. I'm hoping to get that done in the next couple of days. Problem is the post offices I have easy access to. They, somehow, don't know what International Reply Coupons are. I don't know why. It looks as though I'm gonna have to make a trip out to a real Post Office, as opposed to these dip shit mini jobs in 7-11.

Finished "Newton's Wake" and am now a few chapters into "Improbable" by Adam Fawer. Enjoying it. I was hoping it would be good (as "advertised") and it took me by surprise. Surprise because it isn't what I expected. It's better.

The soundtrack for the trip home today was Portishead: PNYC and Big Wreck - The Pleasure and the Greed. Yeah, a wierd mix. Can't explain it. Yesterday's soundtrack was Damien Rice - O, followed by Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf, which was followed by Fugazi - Red Medicine.

In other news. I got the Blog fixed and added some links. Goodnight.

Read!!

I remember some articles I read a while ago that were concerned with the decline of literature. Specifically, the articles bottom line was nobody reads anymore. CBC.ca had some news that cheered me up some. Check it out here

I'm more than half way through "Newton's Wake" by Ken MacLeod. Good book and loads of fun. But it's not on my self imposed reading list. Doh! I'll get back to that list. But then again...all those Neal Asher books will be hitting the shelves in Canada. New books and older ones that have been hard to find. The Skinner, in paperback, hits shelves in April as does Cowl. Then in May there's The Brass Man (More Ian Cormac, Dragon and Horace Blegg!!)

I'm also itching for more Ferguson. Hampiness (aka Generica) is calling me everytime I browse the bookstore. I've stayed away only because I'm kinda broke.
