jeffreyabBack is still killing me, although intense in the morning it gets better as the day goes by.
Trying to do stuff is making my life interesting but I am getting some things done, others are going to have to wait.
I think the most interesting movie I have seen recently is "Michael Collins" about the Irish wars of the early 20th century. Collins is one of those might have been figures that get more interesting as you look at them. He ran and financed Ireland's war of independence and won the subsequent civil war albeit dying in the process.
Book club was interesting, I think a number of SF writers regard themselves as propagandists for the future they hope for, or hope to avoid. We discussed 3001 by Arthur Clarke which is mostly a travelogue for Clarke's vision of the future. The best part was the essay he wrote about writing it.
The book club will be ten next month! To celebrate we are doing Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood since our first book was Handmaid's Tale by her.

They meet at the Lawrence House and I believe are now called Writers in Transition.
Do you write horror?
One of the attendees at Genrecon is a horror editor and writer.
