Thai chili peppers, on a plant covered with snow.

[The last of the Thai chili peppers in my back yard, covered with the first snow of the year.]

This was a quiet week, thanks to the Thanksgiving holiday. My partner and I stayed home and did quiet things like binge-watching season 2 of Physical: 100 on Netflix. If you ever want to feel inspired and humbled at the same time, this is the show for you.

Reading

I finished William Gibson’s Spook Country, which was most excellent, and now am looking at two books for December.

The first is Eva Baltasar‘s Permafrost, a short novel I received a few years ago from my subscription to And Other Stories

The other is Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak, which is most assuredly not a short novel. I chose this for Dostoevsky December, because I have read all of the Dostoevsky I have in the house and don’t want to tackle his Writer’s Diary with anything less than an entire season in which to enjoy his wit.

Writing

Not much to report. No brain capacity available for writing.
