Obligatory Daily Post

(8 of 50)

I have been ill most of the day in that fuzzy-brained sinus-involved way. My mantra could be DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. So here’s a little potpourri. (My intention is to follow up “Happy Place” and discuss creativity and some things I’m doing and reading, but I’m in my DUHHHHH place at present.)

Totally enjoying Season 4 of Dr. Who on the Sci-Fi Channel.

Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day, nation-wide. So take a comic book lover to the local store and meet some artists! or score a free comic book.

This weekend is also, in most Latino-populated cities*, Cinco de Mayo (which is not Mexican Independence Day) but still a good time for margaritas, barbacoa, pico de gallo and flan. (*And as George Lopez says, with 39 million in the U.S., it’s hard NOT to find a Latino.)

Meanwhile, my sick bed is stacked with the following books: Photocraft, How To Talk So Your Kids Will Listen… The Primal Teen and Atonement. I graze when I read. Is this late-onset ADD? The last book to engage me so fully that I rearranged my day to read was any of the Harry Potter books. But I’m always hopeful for a new author, a new series.

Some wonderful springy videos of the dogs and a rare photo of me are in the pipeline for uploading very soon…
