kcobwebI have been goofing off a lot for the past few days, so I'm being busily productive tonight. Doing lots of financial gunk - setting up online access to one company, transferring a few things, shooting off emails to someone asking for advice. I'm also going to clean up some things on this computer.
It's hot, but almost pleasantly so. I'm wearing a tank top, so I can see a temporary tattoo on my shoulder out of the corner of my eye regularly - when you're not used to having colors right on your skin where you can see them, it's rather startling, each and every time. The tattoo says "Nosferatu", and is advertising the world premiere of the opera that will be in Billings in October. Woowoo. I know all you musical fans out there won't want to miss this, and are scanning the Internet at this moment for your plane tickets here for this exciting event.
Aren't you?
I read a good book. Mister Posterior and the Genius Child, by Emily Jenkins. Told largely from the perspective of an eight-year-old girl, in Cambridge (MA) in 1970. There are a few moments of intrusion by the adult flashback narrator, but overall I think it's a lovely wonderful narrative voice that really captures what it's like to be *eight*. It's also damn funny. If I remembered the 70s, I'd probably have to say something about how it evokes the era so perfectly (that's what all the back cover blurbs say, anyway) - but I was in my own childhood bubble of a world during the latter 70s (which is the only part I'd really remember, I suppose) - so I can't comment on that. Anyway. Read it. Really.
