Re-watched Johnny Guitar tonight. Love this movie, particularly the dialog. And the way the story hangs together. It just flies by, not a wasted moment.

I finished reading "Void Star" by Zachary Mason today. I liked it! The best descriptor I can think of is "post-cyberpunk", but that's probably an oversimplification.

It's written in a dreamlike, slightly complicated style, which I enjoyed. There were many references to classical mythology, mainly Greek, most of which I'm sure I missed. I think it's a book that will reward multiple readings.

Nice weather out today, sunny and clear. A little cold but not too bad. I'm glad I picked today to run errands in town.

Super windy outside. Might lose power. I should probably go find a flashlight, just in case.

Went down to the arcade tonight, scored about 510,000 in 1945. Made it to stage 6. A good game, considering I hadn't played in over a month.

I read 22 books last year. Yaaay. Will try to read at least two a month this year. That seems like a comfortable pace.

I'm catching up on "The Projection Booth" podcast tonight. Currently on episode 388, discussing the movie "Session 9".

Episode 388: Session 9 (2001)

Directed by Brad Anderson and co-written by Anderson and Stephen Gevedon, Session 9 was released in 2001 and stars Peter Mullen as the head of a team of guys who are taking out the asbestos from a psychiatric institution.

The Projection Booth Podcast

Great discussion, and a great interview with the director.

Be advised that this podcast will spoil the movie. And it's a good movie, horror movie, definitely worth seeing.
