Like new material, but not really

A few quick updates:
  • Yes, I've neglected this blog.
  • No, I haven't been writing much novel in the meantime.
  • I've finally fixed my 101 in 1001 post, which was all kinds of frigged up for a while there.

Entries to come: my trip to Halifax and four Wednesday movies (none of which will have been watched or written about on a Wednesday).

“Barry,” my cousin Mike said, “I think it’s time.” It was clear that my brother didn’t feel the same way, but he only shrugged, which Mike took as agreement. “Dave,” he said, giving the words as much gravity as he could muster, “Go get the dictionary.” I was nine years old, and a tag-along. I’d walked in on my brother telling a story about how—during school that morning—a girl he knew got her period in the middle of French class. And I laughed like the dickens. And then they called me on it. After I’d lugged the dictionary down from the spare room, Mike told me to look up the word period and read out the definition. “The end of a cycle, a series of events, or a single action?” “Keep going,” he said. “The full pause with which a sentence closes?” “Not that.” “An interval of geologic—“ “Gimme that!” He yanked the book towards him, read down the page, and pointed me towards the definition he’d found.
