What I’m reading:<\/em> Indignation<\/a>\"\", by Philip Roth, and The Philosophy of Andy Warhol<\/a>\"\". I finished David Carr’s The Night of the Gun<\/a>\"\" last week, and enjoyed the heck out of it.<\/p>\n

What I’m listening to:<\/em> The soundtrack to Moon<\/a>\"\" and A Friend of a Friend<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

What I’m watching:<\/em> Not a lot. We never turned the TV on in the hotel last week. I watched some of the NCAA final four and the Yankees-Red Sox season opener, but otherwise, meh.<\/p>\n

What I’m drinking:<\/em> After the 4 cups of wine at last week’s seder, I’ve actually been dry. Apparently, there is a gin that’s kosher for Passover<\/a>, but I haven’t been too motivated to hunt it down.<\/p>\n

What Rufus & Otis are up to:<\/em> Spending a couple of days with their girlfriends Ruby & Willow while we were away, and then getting back into the swing of things here at home. Which meant lots of sleep. They also managed a 3+-mile walk on Sunday around Skyline Lake. It was Otis’ first time, and he was zonked by the end.<\/p>\n

Where I’m going:<\/em> Nowhere! Wel, maybe NYC for MoCCA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What I’m happy about:<\/em> Celebrating Chip Delany’s 68th birthday<\/a> at a Sunday brunch in NYC.<\/p>\n

What I’m sad about:<\/em> My pal Sang isn’t around to help us celebrate it.<\/p>\n

What I’m worried about:<\/em> Fast zombies vs. slow zombies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What I’m pondering:<\/em> What I’ll be doing in 5 years. I take this stuff<\/a> seriously. If I really took it seriously, I guess I wouldn’t have bought a new car<\/a> last week with a 5-year payment plan, but hey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
