One part of me is saying play NES games. Another part of me is saying edit that story, it's not going to get done unless you gut and chip away at it. Then, there's that final part nudging me to pop in Jaws. Because it's the 50th Anniversary. #Jaws #Jaws50 #Jaws50th #movies

Night before last, I read Soji Shimada's The Tokyo Zodiac Murders in ONE SITTING. Finished at 6:45 in the morning, got 2 hours sleep, and went to work. Absolutely brilliant book. #mystery #lockedroom

Reading books is probably one of the safest ways to spend your time unlike bungee jumping or parachuting.
