Injera followup
It was disgusting. More bitter than sour, too thick, too dry (presumably because I spread the batter too thickly and had to cook it too long). I ate a few bites and had to toss it.

Wrote the first draft of a short for someone last...
I think only one line will survive intact to the second draft (unless I have to drown this baby for some reason)
Hair like liquid copper cascaded over her shoulders, wisps of it demurely curling over her nipples.
And hell, reading it now, I think it’s got too many velar plosives anyway.

This story is old enough now that I feel like I can talk about it without incriminating anyone involved, other than me, which is fine, because I’m the only one in this story who comes out looking like an asshole.

Shoes, people, shoes.
I finished Oryx and Crake over the weekend and while it was good, and beautifully written, and leagues better than the last “mainstream apocalypse novel” I read - McCarthy’s vastly overrated The Road - it had the exact same fundamental flaw that kept me from immersing myself in the world.
Shoes.
In The Road, we’re led to believe the shoes are all gone. Perhaps that was...
