I was going to join my weekly writing group, then go see Thor with them afterward, but our plans fell apart. Maybe next week. I spent the day mostly watching television, or at least it seems so in retrospect. I watched the last two episodes of Fringe — which was a lot of fun, if in the end a little disappointing — the latest episode of Doctor Who — which had its moments but…well, next week’s Neil Gaiman-penned episode looks really good — and a couple episodes of Supernatural and Misfits. Oh, and the most recent episode of How I Met Your Mother. I think that’s it. On paper, it sounds horribly unproductive, but it was a pleasant enough day off, lots of good weather all around. I went for a walk, and listened to the Selected Shorts reading of Dan Chaon’s “The Bees” — a haunting story that knocked the wind out of me even though I’d read it before. And I more or less finished the Sunday crossword.
So, maybe not the single most incredible or exciting Sunday — I’d have liked to have done more writing, more reading — but nevertheless enjoyable.
And a happy Mother’s Day, to mine and yours and all mothers.
