nightdog_barksI mean, seriously. It is 64 degrees right now (17.8 degrees Celsius) with a brisk north wind, and tonight it is supposed to drop to 49 (9.4 C).
Finished reading Lindy West's Shrill the other night. I liked it a lot, even though I did agree with one of the Goodreads reviewers that there were (a few) parts of the book that were sort of self-congratulatory (and very name-drop-y). I thought her stories were great, and I identified very strongly with some of her memories. Small child in elementary school, so painfully shy? I see you. Oh yes, I do see you. Two thumbs up, would very much recommend.
Currently reading Nathan Ballingrud's new collection of short stories, Wounds: Six Stories from the Border of Hell, and it's good. I will ALWAYS rec his first book, North American Lake Monsters: Stories, because by god it is brilliant.
What else? Still watching What We Do In the Shadows on FX. Also the Fosse/Verdon miniseries on FX, and I watched the first episode of the Chernobyl miniseries on HBO. Plus the Stanley Cup playoffs.
