Junk Drawer, June Edition

Welcome back to the drawer of wonders...

Okay, really it is just a drawer full of stuff. I kinda start off the month with a blurb about all that was from the previous month. May was a crazy, busy month in the world of ye olde blog. I am happy to say it was all good too.

I got to read and review some really good new fiction, that was fun. I have no doubt I will do more of the same this month. I have been consuming blogs as well, and not all of it is fiction. As a matter of fact, just today I was watching a video about a fan by Dyson. It was cool. The science, techno-geek in me was thrilled.

On the fiction front, as far as books and the like go, I am reading The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway and I may just do a review of it, just my take on it. After all, a novel published in 1926 is not exactly current, and said novel has been dissected by scholars for a bazillion years. I originally read it in 9th grade when I was all of 15. A lot has changed in 30 years, and so has my perspective.

Of course, I have been scribbling along on my own fiction, poetry, and the like. My only complaint is the quantity of my output, which seems rather low. But, whatever, onward and upward. I have transferred all the files I could find from the various electronic hotels they were staying in, so I think I am good to go there.

And.. we are in grilling season, so that has been fun. A good month, I expect June do be full, both in the grilling department, as well as the scribble department. Oh, and I imagine there will be much playing with the trains. Heck, I may even get out of the cave more, who knows?

Happy Wanderings!

Grilling season is truly one of the best seasons of them all... trumped only by the one and only Autumn.

Ahh, The Sun Also Rises... I remember all the debates we had over than one in AP English. I liked the book better than any other Hemingway I read, but found it frustrating.

I think a lot of us struggled through it in AP English... I am gonna post a piece about it when I am done, kinda look back at the 15 yr old who read it, and now.. should be fun.
