If you’re interested in continuing with Ursula LeGuin, I read The Dispossessed last year & it blew me away. Kept meaning to write about it too maybe I’ll go back & do that.
I just got a recommendation from a friend from South Africa (who I will be writing about) for a book by Tim Lilburn called Living in the World as If It We’re Home. I haven’t read it but it sounds good. Oh and I’ve been reading Desert Oasis and loooove it & think you might too.
Also, what was that again about the band and the drones getting shot in the sun ... wut? There is actually a guy walking by me *right now* with a huge shopping cart and saying “right, they say they’re putting a Tesla on the moon,” and honestly I’m kind of in deep sympathy with him? Rock bands are doing what now? What weird future am I living in?
I have never seen any Agnes Varda movies! So disappointing that El Houb isn't available- I'd love to watch it again. I'll keep an eye out for it too and let you know if I find it anywhere.
One of the best new movies I've seen recently was El Houb (The Love) I was able to see it because a friend gave me a streaming pass to the NewFest Queer Film Festival. It looks like it's only playing on MUBI now, which I don't have, but I think you can start a free trial- worth it to see El Houb.
Read Mick Herron's latest last month, a collection of 5 or 6 novellas about the Slough House characters. I enjoy Herron's take on the espionage thriller in the post-Trump/Boris Johnson era, where the Manchurian Candidate arguably came true but mot enough people gave a crap to do anything about it. Herron's tone is actually really close to Le Carré's characters--fighting the good fight on behalf of a world too stupid to deserve defending but still our only option. Herron is really funny, too. Seems fresh anyway despite describing systems in deep decline.
Love the Hu! Tengger Cavalry & Nine Treasures are two other phenomenal Mongolian folk metal bands. Nine Treasures uses more traditional instruments & they're on a US tour right now.
Definitely NOT related. And that injury want the reason he did what he did. At all. So let yourself off the hook. At least you had some kind of a relationship with him. Hope we can hang soon... May e during the kids winter break in Feb, we'll come down and hike/explore the Pine Barrens. They need it and would LOVE it!!

When did you tear Daddy's arm? I'm not doubting you did.... Just didn't know about it. 🤷 Lol
