So what’s been up. Let’s see. Oh, right! I go to the dayjob and then I go home and write. And then I read a bit and generally go to bed. Except for the rare night I hang out with friends. Yeah, that’s about my life.

And that isn’t a bad thing. In fact it’s pretty damn wonderful. So there is that.

I’ve been reading A Fraction of the Whole by Steve Toltz which has been an interesting thing overall. It’s well written and mostly interesting. Uhm, about a boy and his father in Australia – wow that sounds dull that way. Keep in mind they are both insane and the father is brother to a famous criminal and you start to see where the almost-farce comes in. The thing is that while the book can be funny and insightful it is also full of grasping moments toward deepness that don’t quite land. Overall I would say this is a good read, but there are just enough times I kinda wanna strangle it that I can’t quite say run out and buy it this second.

It is good though, overall. Way more win than lose.

In other book news Empty Rooms Lonely Countries by Christian A. Dumias is out. And so the hell what. Well, Dumias is an old friend I haven’t had contact with in something like 8 years. I had no clue what happened to him (if you knew me this far back, he co-ran Legion Studios – the website that let me run Never Bite the Homeless and was kinda a sister site to TwoHeadedCat for a while) until the other day when I caught wind of this book. So I stalked him for a few minutes (what! I did!) and got back in touch with the mad motherfucker. I haven’t read this collection of shorts but he was always great writer.

Anyway. That’s about it, except for me asking that if you’ve read Strange Angel you do me a huge favor and review it up on Amazon. Like it or hate it, just be honest, that’s all I ask. Reviews really do help. So thanks.

So yeah, writing a lot and reading a bunch and watching some movies and hanging about. That’s my life, in a nutshell. I wish I could blab endless about all my projects but I really can’t. So instead I’ll leave you here and come back with some sort of funny post later on.
