I just finished reading "The Song Is You" by Megan Abbott.

Tough, nasty, cruel; proper hardboiled crime fiction. Very, very well written. Not much redemption to be found (especially in the protagonist...). I feel dirtier for having read it.

This is the second book by Abbott that I've read. The first was "Queenpin", which is just as good, if not better.

Will definitely be picking up more of her work.

Hah, and I just now realize that "Every Grain Of Sand" is the name of a Bob Dylan song. I don't know my Dylan at all.

That's what I get for not searching for names before applying them to things.

A few tracks from the Sbles3plex album, a couple of old favorites, and some high drama courtesy of E.R.P. and Drexciya. Tracks are good, mixing OK, levels OK. I'm happy.

S. is so good with the hashtags. I'll try my hand at one, a lone piece of bait:

462,600 in Strikers 1945 tonight. Made it about 1/3rd of the way into stage 6. Not my best, but fair.

My goal is to complete the first loop on one credit. The farthest I've made it is stage 7, out of I think 8 stages.

I've been re-reading Gibson's "Pattern Recognition". I like it much more the second time through.

I'm an obsessive consumer of niche media (music). My first time reading the book, I somehow missed that a large chunk of it is about exactly that. Cayce's consumption of, obsession with, the "footage".

I've got about 100 pages left. I don't remember how it ends.

I mistyped "Cadigan". :(

One of my favorite authors. I've destroyed my copy of Synners.

Good book haul today.

"Mindplayers" by Pat Caidgan,
"The Song Is You" by Megan Abbott,
"Infomocracy" by Malka Older,
and "Pattern Recognition" by William Gibson

I spent way too much money.

Sleepy for about 30 minutes, then picks up a bit. I managed to play "Under Current" by Dcast Dynamics, which I've wanted to do for a while.
