Writer chooses two soda streams, both stress. One stress is writing. The other stress is not writing.

One part of me is saying play NES games. Another part of me is saying edit that story, it's not going to get done unless you gut and chip away at it. Then, there's that final part nudging me to pop in Jaws. Because it's the 50th Anniversary. #Jaws #Jaws50 #Jaws50th #movies

Night before last, I read Soji Shimada's The Tokyo Zodiac Murders in ONE SITTING. Finished at 6:45 in the morning, got 2 hours sleep, and went to work.

Absolutely brilliant book.

Was able to snag a few ounces of the late, venerable Maple Shadows from my local tobacconist today... What a pleasant blend, RIP Sutliff.

Reading books is probably one of the safest ways to spend your time unlike bungee jumping or parachuting.
