I am alive, I'm just busy writing a story and reading Vonnegut's Sirens of Titan, which I will write an extensive examination of whenever I finish it. Because it's beautiful. The story has had its ups and downs but I had quite a good session with it tonight at the coffee shop while Christian marked papers and Jenny worked on her thesis proposal. There was much intellectual stimulation right up until all the loud talkers started. Some girl who worked at Sugar was complaining about wannabe go-go dancers who were really just drunk girls under the impression that pole dancing was what she was looking for. I found somebody's abandoned eyelash curler on the bus and that's going in the story.
I have tomorrow off. I'm going to go for a walk with Jenny in the morning and then I'm going up to Hillside Mall to find out about the pair of shoes that I ordered which haven't come in yet.

Did you know Vonnegut died last week? It makes me sad because Cat's Cradle is my favourite book of all time. The man was brilliant.

Yeah, it prompted me to spelunk back into his works and remind myself why he's one of my Spiritual Fathers, and it reminded me that I've only read a couple of his books. I actually just found a copy of Cat's Cradle in my bookshelf that I don't remember buying, so I have a small pile of KVs to get through.
