1. Stargate Atlantis. Have I really watched ten episodes in the last three days? Bad Kelly.
2. Long Books. What is it with you authors? Or are we, the readers, merely enablers for your addition to writing long books? Just because I staggered through the first four hundred pages doesn’t necessarily mean I’m looking forward to the next three hundred and fifty. …So unbeknownst to me, a book I signed up to lead discussion about also happens to be the longest book on the syllabus, clocking in at, yes, 75o pages. Cloudsplitter by Russell Banks will be almost as epic as The Far Pavilions by M. M. Kaye. Stay tuned.
3. Squash and Mushroom Spaghetti. It’s what’s for dinner. You saute the squash and mushrooms with plenty of garlic salt, butter, and pepper, and then you toss it in the spaghetti with a drop or two of olive oil. Best thing ever.
4. Work Hard, Sleep Hard. I’ve barely been awake for twelve hours, but I’m already exhausted. Must have been from watching so much Stargate. The city almost sunk, people! Situations like these can be so stressful.
