It's Beatle-pony-reading time!

Hey, guys, I'm not dead! That's pretty much the real reason I'm writing this blog post.

Actually, I have a little bit to share with you before I disappear again. I'm working up on campus for a few weeks in a summer program which for confidentiality reasons I can't say much about, but which is pretty awesome so far. The hours are great and the job is really worthwhile, and I get plenty of free time after my shifts are over to do whatever I feel like doing - which, lately, involves a lot of reading and riding in other people's cars. It also means that I get to sit here and record Pirene to my heart's content, which, after this blog post, I'm going to go right on ahead doing!

Despite evidence to the contrary, I'm smack in the middle of Chapter 8. I could say a lot of things, just like I babbled about Amelia, but it's simpler just to say it breaks my heart to read. I'm so, so glad that E.E. has given us a story with such a wonderfully rounded cast of female characters, and it's such a pleasure to speak in each of their voices. Before I go, though, I have a few extras for listening (or re-reading) once that monster of a final cut comes out (I'm looking at two hours, hooo boy).

Listening to music while reading a story probably isn't everyone's thing, but in case it is, there are a couple absolutely gorgeous songs by George Harrison (yeah, the guy who wrote "Here Comes the Sun") that I've come to associate with this chapter.

Isn't It A Pity?
