Camera Obscura at the Horseshoe Tavern

Camera Obscura at the Horseshoe Tavern


Above: Had fun at the Camera Obscura concert at the Horseshoe Tavern last night with Jeff and Ray. The group is a Glasgow band that Jeff and I found out about from Ray. Despite being jetlagged, Camera Obscura put on a great show.

wwfc-update


Will Write For Chocolate has been updated! Column topic this week: "How To Write A Query Letter."

I have an eye check-up this afternoon; I've been having one every six months every since my disturbing detached retina incident a two years ago. I don't mind eye check-ups except that one of the effects of the eyedrops is that I can't read anything (including my computer screen) for a couple hours afterward. I -hate- not being able to read, even for a very short length of time. Yay for iPods!

Just finished reading another novel for young people:




The Foreshadowing by Marcus SedgwickThe Foreshadowing by Marcus Sedgwick. Fast-paced, eerie, engrossing. Part of the pacing is due to the short length of the chapters; some chapters are only a paragraph or two, one is completely blank(!). I'm going to check out the author's other titles. This would be a good summer read for a teenaged boy or girl who isn't squeamish.
