synn, who is moving too far away too soon. Enjoyed the usual fandom talk and work rants, and made some progress on fic-writing.
Accidentally bought three books while waiting to meet her there: medical writer Atul Gawande's new book, Better: A Surgeon's Notes on Performance, which I've already started and am excited about; Death by Black Hole: And Other Cosmic Quandaries, a collection of Natural History essays by astrophysicist and science writer Neil deGrasse Tyson; and The Nasty Bits by irreverent travel writer/chef Anthony Bourdain (for my sister). I haven't finished a book since January. This is going to be fantastic.
The full moon tonight is orange, visible through clouds high in the south. On the other side of the overcast sky, we're having almost constant cloud-to-cloud lightning, which isn't typical for this region. It's wonderfully spooky. No rain yet. Thunder very dim still.
