Gasping to the finish line.
Oh, yes. It's Friday. It's been a long and heck-ish week. Ick. I have two complaints, in no particular order:
- Hard plastic wrap around electronic gizmos -- that stuff makes me hate the product before I get it out of the box
- The shrink wrap and plastic tape on CD cases. -- I hate the music company before I even listen to the cd
Now I'm home, it's the weekend, I have new music to listen to, and I have to get cracking on the writing. Off to it
Oh, this morning at the gym I blocked out the ending for Magellan's Witch, which was kind of a relief.
Last thing, I think. Last night I finished reading
Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series to my son. I'm in awe. Here's
an interesting quote from Pullman's website:
I thought it would be hard to find an audience for this story....
All I can say is that some books make a mark on you for life, and this series has done that for me and my son. I am grateful to have read this to him. The series is profoundly great, and belongs in the canon.
