Throwback to yesterday afternoon, when I drank a lovely Cat‘s Got the Cream Ale from Rebellion Brewing Co and began TURBULENCE. So far, the book‘s interesting but not gripping. I keep coming back to how the story often feels like it could be set at any point in the last 2000 years, until someone mentions cadres or telephone poles and it‘s like, oh yeah, we‘re totally in the 1980s.

One of my bike tires went flat yesterday (while I was about an hour‘s bike-push from home; blah), so I had to hit Canadian Tire today—and hey, my favourite indie bookstore‘s in the same mall, and it would‘ve been rude not to stop in. I chose two books from the bargain section and a gorgeous new bookmark I shall use in my primary read.
