📚 These Burning Stars by Bethany Jacobs
7/2024
The fourth of this year’s Philip K. Dick Award nominees. No review, because I’m the award ceremony coordinator. I’m not remotely involved with selecting nominees or winners, just making sure the ceremony goes as it should, but it’s best to keep my reviews to myself.
Year 50 Day 269
Day 269: Forgot to take a picture until after I was in bed, so, much to my wife’s amusement, and in her words, I’m posting a nudie pic.
Year 50 Day 268
Day 268: We needed a new pizza cutter, so we decided to see if our preferred knife company (Henckles) made one. Turns out they do, so we ordered one, but somehow got one shipped from Japan that’s about 2/3 the size of the pizza cutters we’re used to. It should work just fine; we’re just amused at how tiny and cute it is!
Year 50 Day 267
Day 267: Yes, it’s a cheesy touristy t-shirt. But it’s a cheesy tourist-y t-shirt that I got in New York, and we really enjoyed our time there on our vacation, so it’s legit.
Year 50 Day 266
Day 266: Kicking back in the optometrist’s waiting area, but hey, that’s an interesting background!
Year 50 Day 265
Day 265: Watched the first hour of the Antiques Roadshow Alaska episodes. Didn’t see anyone I knew (not surprising, since it’s been almost 23 years since I left), but it was fun to see the Alaska-related artifacts. And I was amused that, while we got the requisite Rolex watch and Fender guitar, the sports memorabilia wasn’t baseball or boxing and was actually very cool and setting appropriate (Susan Butcher’s 1990 Iditarod win trophy), and in what may be a first for any Antiques Roadshow episode I’ve watched, no firearms (particularly surprising given Alaska’s high number of gun owners, but perhaps being a bit far away to have Civil War-era firearms helped)!
Year 50 Day 264
Day 264: Amazon finally delivered Eugen Bacon’s Danged Black Thing, completing my stack of this year’s Philip K. Dick Award nominated books. Three and a half read so far!
Year 50 Day 263
Day 263: Some days are cake days. Just because.
Year 50 Day 262
Day 262: I may have forgotten to post today’s photo until just before bed, but we actually managed to leave work a little early and make it home when there was still light in the sky. I’ll be quite happy when the days are long enough that this is a regular thing again!
