The trailer for Where the Wild Things Are. Made me feel like a kid again. Man, is there anything Dave Eggers could do that I wouldn’t like?
Writing camp. The reason this Super Great list’s late by two days is because I was away at an intensive writing conference for the week, holed up in a log cabin and a chicken coop. Tonight I have returned, tired and plastered with bug bites but joyful and triumphant all the same. I learned a lot, met great people, and ate tasty food. In short: a perfect week (minus the profusion of mosquito bites on my legs).
Chickens. Soft, hilarious animals. Who knew there was such a thing as a “lap chicken”?
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I caved to curiosity and actually bought this a few days ago. It’s amazing! The zombie bits fit surprisingly well into the original narrative. I am impressed.
Thisbe Nissen. An excellent writer (read Out of the Girls’ Room and Into the Night! do it!!), talented cranberry-muffin-baker and altogether wonderful human being.
Campfires. So much more fun than I remembered! If only the rest of Girl Scouts had been that nice.
