This week’s Eureka was pretty amusing, with the cad of a scientist reverting to snakelike form in the biosphere. I’m wondering about the significance of the last minute or so, when the efficiency expert finds evidence that scientists in Eureka had an atomic bomb in 1939. Good to see Henry sprung from jail, and that the efficiency expert does see the merit in certain peoples’ arguments against some of her changes. It wouldn’t be good if she was all bad.
I finished the first draft of a new flash story. It came in at around 550 words, which is pretty much what I anticipated. It’s a gimmicky story, to be honest, but one that I couldn’t get out of my head after hearing a Peter Crowther anecdote at NECON. Shouldn’t take terribly long to edit it into shape, seeing as how it’s only two printed pages.
I finished the Murakami memoir last night and plowed ahead with Brad Thor’s novel. I’m champing at the bit to start Lansdale’s new novel, which the publisher sent to me a few days ago.
