ateolf | Shadow Tickets

I finished reading Shadow Ticket by Thomas Pynchon during my lunch break. It was good. I mean, far from his best, but not his least good. It starts off a bit slow and both the plotting and writing can be a little on the dull side in the first half of it, but about halfway through it picks up on both counts. So yeah, all in all a pretty good Pynchon. At night Mary Beth and I went to Elmwood Cemetery for a movie screening. It was Bram Stoker's Dracula. It was good we'd seen it pretty recently. They project the movie onto the roof of a building and, though steep, the roof is not perfectly vertical, of course. But also the color of the roof is a dark red so any scenes that aren't bright in color are hard to see. And of course this movie has a lot of dark and black-filled scenes so you're kinda mostly going on sound and memory. It was still a fun experience.
