Instead of sitting here feeling depressed, I'm going to go and listen to Elizabeth Renzetti at the SR and be depressed.

Last night, Elizabeth Renzetti was entertaining and insightful. I followed that up with Malcolm Gladwell's podcast "John Birch vs. PTA / very relative to what is happening in politics today. Alas, Paul Beatty, "The Sellout". It was the perfect remedy for my Orange man hangover.

GORDON – BLOMER – SORENSON - READING at NOVEL IDEA What a pleasure to hear Ariel Gordon reading from, Fungal. Such an informative book. Ariel is the person you want to be with in the forest, if by chance you're running from a dark force. She knows the poisonous from the pure.

GORDON – BLOMER – SORENSON - READING at NOVEL IDEA Yvonne Blomer's book, Death of Persephone, A Murder. Listening to Yvonne felt like I was sitting in the Parthenon listening to the Greek Gods weep at the sound of a young girl's footsteps.

GORDON – BLOMER – SORENSON - READING at NOVEL IDEA Acutely Life, by Sue Sorenson. A lot to discover in this book. The Freud Museum in the UK, Bill Evans, and the Virgin Mary, (without once a mention of Freud's favourite complex). Great stuff!

Last night's performance of Les Contes d'Hoffman ~ Superb! I want to live in the prologue.

RIP Andrew Pyper

American Gothic, by Silvia Moreno-Garcia Let's talk about icky things, pustules and such. Eww. aside from the mold growing on the walls, I loved the writing, although I did want to punch Virgil in the mouth! It's The Rocky Horror Picture Show meets Shakespeare's Ophelia.

Robyn Doolittle, Thank you for introducing my brain to the concept, "Neurobiology of Trauma."

I LOVE CANADA and everyone in it no matter who you voted for!

Technology is clobbering me today!
