But then I think about Tom Petty and how he wrote his best songs when he was thirty-nine

Rabbit, rabbit! My day started far too early, but it was a useful appointment and afterward I got a ginger soda from Clover and browsed around Rodney's and was literally on my way out the door when I spotted a paperback of George Mackay Brown's Greenvoe (1972) lying on a table as if someone else had left it, their loss, and met Marc at Mary Chung's and had only a four-and-a-half-hour conversation but a lot of suan la chow show and stopped by the theater on the way home and vouchsafed unto spatch the dan dan noodles which he has texted to let me know are no more and Steve Berman just notified me that an excerpt from Forget the Sleepless Shores is exclusive content in the latest issue of Lightspeed Magazine, so I can forgive the fact that I burned my mouth on the grilled cheese I made for dinner, even if it seems a stupid finish to the day. I am attempting to amend it by watching TCM. This is not the worst way to start a month.

Great news about Lightspeed! Plus other good things, aside from the unfortunate grilled cheese incident. (I burned my tongue on a cup of coffee a couple of hours ago, alas.)

I burned my mouth last night. Not even sure what on. Possibly roasted eggplant. It is better and I hope yours is too.

I saw that in the Lightspeed announcement! Go you! :D

Aw, that's great! I hope such things continue, but with less mouth-burning!

Greenvoe is one of GMB's that I find deeply disturbing.

Dan dan noodles! Ginger soda! New books! All of my favorite things, so it sounds like a very good day.

an excerpt from Forget the Sleepless Shores is exclusive content in the latest issue of Lightspeed Magazine, --Nice!

so I can forgive the fact that I burned my mouth on the grilled cheese I made for dinner --If you can, that's truly great and shows that you can make complex trade-offs (I say, because I haaaaate burning my mouth)!
