The tall barista with red hair is on her own. Someone hasn’t shown up and it’s rush hour (such as it is here). All smiles, she is grace under pressure.

I continue to play with my website. It does not end. I suspect I will continue to do this until the day I die. This is okay because it is fun. It now links to my Patreon book reviews. One day it would be nice to have a new novel to promote on there.

Guitar teacher showed me some INXS last night. My daughter got me into Shania Twain tonight. My voice hasn’t got the control to be much of a crooner, but I’m giving it my best shot.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Going to see The Secret Agent tonight. I would be a terrible secret agent. I'm bad at poker. If I get a good hand, I laugh and show everyone. I need to work on that.

Drive, by James Sallis. A post about it on Patreon for free subscribers. Noir to its bones. Surprisingly different to the film.

Just came up with a ridiculous idea for a project. Not sure whether to despair or go for it. (It would be on brand to do both.)

Bought some books. I’m out of control. HORRORSTÖR, by Grady Hendrix, looks like an Ikea catalogue. Carmilla, by Sheridan Le Fanu, is a pre-Dracula vampire story with a red-soaked cover and fore-edge. I’ve been seduced (again) by covers. Opposite ends of the genre timeline, from 1872 to now.

would have turned 90

today makes me wonder
if his spirit grows paler

or merely his voice softer
as his presence
infuses
more and more of me

Last night I was boldly proclaiming myself as being immune to propaganda and cult when my wife helpfully reminded me that one time at a very fancy sushi restaurant I let the chef feed me an egg yolk from his palm like I was a horsey.
