Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It really is perverse -- I'm spending so much money on stuff that's not enjoyable that I'm spending even more for fun and adventure!
I am very tempted by this line of thought. There are some kind of reasonable flights (in relation to regular insanely priced flights to Europe from Canada) to Dublin in November. I am trying to convince myself to wait until spring.
I'm studying up on the publisher's romance line for my interview. Whee!
Not going to Paris, though, which is a bummer.
Kick ass, Amy!
Go Amy! Carpe interview!
The Macarthur Grants were announced. Karen Russell was announced as a recipient. huh? Also someone at Steppenwolf.
I just went through the whole list, and realized I was afraid I would see someone I know! What is wrong with me.
Someone I went to high school with won a MacArthur last year. Someone three years BEHIND me in high school.
My fears are justified!!
Karen Russell?! I'm reading Swamplandia and finding it a hard slog, mostly because she's so involved in the lyrical and the weird that she loses track of the story. Also, her people are not our earth people.
Didn't she also write the ... something something Home for Girls Raised by Wolves, or something like that? I heard that was supposed to be great.
