Check out the bluejays. Their mum and dad made a nest *right outside my study window.* Been watching them get all big and adorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This update’s mostly just a quick note\u2014given the lack of post office box mail I’ve been receiving, I have decided to close my box, effective at the end of the month. So if there’s anybody out there who really wants to send me something but doesn’t know where I live and is confident I’d refuse them my home address, wrap up those fish heads and razor blades STAT! You only have a couple weeks left. (The PO Box is listed at the left.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utne perk: Loads of free review copies. Today was Music Purge Day. Lots of stuff I’ve never heard of (world music, lama chants, a hot Croatian piano boy with ridiculous epic techno-epics) and mistaken identity: my Doomtree find is unfortunately a metal band and not the homegrown hip hop I was expecting. Soon shall be the book\u2014I have first dibs on Coetzee’s newest Slow Man<\/i>, not available to all you laypeople until September. An uncorrected proof copy, nonetheless! I shall experience a master in a state of imperfection! I am such a rockstar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, keep eyes wide for Night Watch: A Movie with Vampires That Doesn’t Suck. It’s Russian. It’s pleasing. Find yourself a copy or wait for the U.S. release (“in select cities July 29”). It might be best saved for the big screen\u2014not to mention competent subtitles. Mine weren’t always cogent\u2014at times I had no idea what was going on. But as testament to its visual appeal, the subsequent narrative gaps didn’t bother me. Watch a trailer. <\/a> It’s a trilogy! And yeah, it has an ample dose of silliness, like the entire premise, and a dude ripping out his own spine to use it as a sword, but it’s still enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
