Oh I have wandered here, there, almost everywhere this month. It almost feels like October it has been so cool, not complaining mind you! But, it still smells like August, if you get my meaning. Today is a junk day for the blog. In other words, the junk drawer is open.
I just finished Just after Sunset by Stephen King, a collection of short stories. I liked most of the stories, some were...eh. A good read and well worth the price of a book. I also just finished Da Vinci Code and enjoyed the book even more then the movie. Seen the movie twice, avoided the circus when the book was originally published, but after seeing it in the pile at the Library Book Sale, I had to read it. I am currently reading a Sci-Fi book on the first exploration of Mars, pretty cool if you ask me.
I have been watching plenty of anime lately and Jackie Chan movies. How can you not be awestruck by Jackie Chan? I started reading his blog and checking out his website. I have been a fan of Hong Kong cinema since a wee lad and a fan of Jackie's since I first discovered his films in the early nineties.
On the music front, I have been listening to XM Radio at work a lot. I like the jazz channels and listen to the Watercolors jazz channel often, it is...calming. I also like to listen to the two seventies channels, depending on my mood. I like the AM singles radio but when I am feeling goofy I love to listen to Disco. Yep, and you thought disco was dead, not so my friend.
I have been spending internet time devouring blogs. I admit it, I have become addicted to reading blogs, all kinds of blogs. It is like channel surfing, I hit about a dozen on a daily round and catch a little bit of everything. Some friends of mine blog and they got some good stuff I don't miss if I can help it.
Other then that, I have been taking pics with the toddler which is a blast. I have been chasing words across the screen in various story projects, even a poem or two. It has not been a big creative month for me, just kinda been eh. But, it is the calm before the storm. Autumn is a coming and that is my time to get really crazy with the creative side. Going into this year I am already bubbling pretty good, so I for see a few sleepless nights tip tapping away.
And that's it in the junk drawer, we don't want to go too deep into that abyss.
Happy Wanderings!
