Aug. 31st, 2007 01:49 amI've got a new temp job which will give me regular employment for the rest of my current stay in Minneapolis. I'm a runner, delivering print jobs and requests for print jobs back and forth between downtown proper and the printshop near the collapsed bridge by the Humptydome. Sad to say, this does slow down my pleasure reading.
In other news, I'm finishing up with Dorothy Dunnett's Checkmate, and am trying to decide whether or not to spend too much money on an all-you-can-eat sashimi feast the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. I got to travel up to the Mesabi Iron Hills and investigate it with a couple of my friends, and saw the north shore of Gitchee-Gumee for the third time in my life so far. I've also been lent a hardback copy of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
papersky's Farthing, and perhaps might even be able to finish reading it before the Farthingparty commences in Montreal.
I also got to read the part of the obnoxious Byron-worshipping don in a play-reading of Tom Stoppard's Arcadia. It wasn't a part I would have thought I would relish, but I had a hell of a lot of fun reading it out loud. Arcadia is such a good play I now think I'd have had a lot of fun with any part of it, but as things stand, I'm glad I got to read the part of the obvious and only villain in the play. If you say out loud "Fucked by a dahlia" in my presence, at least for the next few months, I'll probably answer to it.
