With the weather being decently hot for this Yankee, Management and I have been laying low watching movies, some good and some bad and surprisingly I’ve been able to keep my attention rapt enough to follow the plots. Gorky Park was enjoyable, never thought the international trade of sable would be so contested and dangerous, as was The Machinist, a dark look at guilt and redemption. The Lost Boys was just as annoying as I remember and not nearly as fun as The Goonies. At the moment we are settling in to The Satan Bug, a 1965 film about a break-in at a germ warfare facility; promises to be part thriller, part mystery, part sci-fi wrapped up in a rough but well-meaning ex-spook.

I have about twenty pages left in Jordan’s The Shadow Rising which I’ll snack on for the rest of the day. The Wheel of Time series as been chock full of pulpy goodness thus far even it is it a physically heavy read and seeing as I am only about a quarter of the way in hopefully it will keep entertaining. For the time being I’m committed to finishing books five through seven and by the time I finish those Gabriella will be just about on the scene–lately I’ve been reading like pouring cold molasses.

Sleepy weekend and lazy indeed.
