Crawling Back From Pantheacon


Did go to Pantheacon in February, but I’ve been busy since then—things going on at work and home, making it difficult to write.  But you have to start somewhere.
 
I’ve meanwhile watched several films, leafed through several books, and listened to much music and a few audiobooks.

Audiobooks:  Heart of Darkness, Steppenwolf, Richard II.  Then, the CDs of Doo Wop Music and Punk Rock.  I intended to listen to a five-CD set of the Beach Boys, but I kept putting it off while I did the other stuff, thinking I could renew the set like I did with the ones from the Mountain View Library.  However, the Sunnyvale Library won’t let me renew.  So I’ll have to catch the Beach Boys another time (how about this Saturday, after they’ve refiled the box set?).

I’ve actually already listened to those audiobooks.  I finished a second run through Richard II last week.  The other two I’d already listed to previously—this is my second go-round.

A delay has been the joy I’ve been experiencing polishing my novel Soul Flight a bit more.  I really enjoy this polishing.  I love crafting sentences, making them better and better.

Finally watched The Great Gatsby film.  Also watched Big Sur, the film based on the Kerouac novel.  I’m now watching it the second time.  Also going through the new biography of William S. Burroughs, Call Me Burroughs.  All these I find interesting for various reasons.

Keeping busy, anyway.
