More Focus?

Here I am, at the toy shop, after having just completed some computer inventory whatnots and whozits. Just wanted to post real quick about the Circus Arts blog I created yesterday. It has to be passed by the other members of the group, but I'm hoping we can eventually start blogging about our individual as well as group experiences.

As far as everything else goes, I shoveled my driveway yesterday while listening to Clive Barker's novel, Mr. B Gone, on my ipod with the audiobook function. I highly recommend this story. Whether or not you like to read, it's a good book, or audio track :-)

Warning: This book is dark.

Its an autobiography of a lesser demon from the 9th circle. Simultaneously hilarious and grotesque, Mr. B Gone was something I picked up last year at Barnes and Noble. I didn't purchase it, but had read it in a handful of hours while my boyfriend was shopping around. I'm very glad that I now have it with a greater degree of permanence. Barker's ability to make the main character, Jakabok Botch, sympathetic, is fantastic. While terrible things are occuring throughout the novel, you can understand Jakabok's mindset, if not sympathize with it. I'm currently at the beginning of disc 3 out of 6. In audiobook its a 6.5 hour performance. Great for long car rides or tedious chores that require little brain function.

Maybe that's what I'll do from now on. I'll give this blog a little more focus by reviewing books and movies and the like...

Mr. B Gone by Clive Barker, great for that little Macabre lover in all of us
