zeppo and kstanley! :D
Tonight I was supposed to do a bunch of things (movies! concerts! etc!) and I begged off and did pretty much nothing instead. (Got dinner, bought a few greeting cards, came home.) I have been trying to explain to people on a need-to-know-and-willing-to-listen basis that I am getting better on a sort of incremental, occasionally backsliding scale, where one day I'm at 2, the next at 4, the next at 3, the next at 5, the next at 4, and so forth. This garners mostly fuzzy looks. I just wish I could fix my darn sinuses.
Stop at the bookstore tonight reminded me that I keep meaning to read Misfortune by Wesley Stace... the 19th-century-genderqueer aspects are interesting and all, but I'm especially eager for this one because Wesley Stace is also John Wesley Harding, whose music I like a lot. It shot up the "to read" list after I found this out maybe a month and a half ago, but I keep forgetting to mention anything about it. Also saw The Rough Guide to Cult Fiction, which has a lot in it for basically any young person who reads literary fiction. Segments on Haruki Murakami, Chuck Palahniuk (who I think is vastly overrated these days), Angela Carter, Thomas Pynchon, etc. Lots of quotes, suggestions, and so on. It looks worthwhile, fits cleverly and charmingly into the hand, and costs around $12.
