more weekend

[gwynnega]

Nice quiet weekend, though, as usual, too short. I worked on chapter four of the Jo novel, read more of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, and watched some Dark Shadows, some cracktastic 1984 Ryan's Hope, and two very good movies, Old Boy (Korean psychological thriller, which I didn't love as much as Oasis but which is quite an amazing ride) and Zodiac.

It seems that the key to wresting my mind away from the Eleanor Bell sequel and back to the Jo book is listening to the right music: mostly a lot of Phil Ochs, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Nina Simone, plus a couple of Television tracks and the Isleys' "Fight the Power." Nonetheless, I keep making notes for the EB sequel...

Yay for Nina and Phil and Sweet Honey in the Rock taking you back to the Jo book! (And I know JUST what you mean about the music spurring the writing.)

Hugs hugs and happy Monday.

Of course, if I listen to Roxy Music, Magazine etc., suddenly the EB sequel will be clamoring for attention... :-)

Happy Monday, Lori!
