Listening to Modest Mouse, it suits my evening. The World at Large. What a lovely evening to live in the country, the peepers singing, the fireflies flashing.

I'm plowing through The Circus in Winter; it's vignettes of circus performers lives and how they become intertwined with the small town they winter in. I read Water For Elephants and became interested in the subject. That book was a little too melodramatic for me, although this one may be a little dry. Perhaps I'll one day find my perfect circus story. (Like Goldilocks and her quest of "juuuust right" in her life.)

I am also working on a huge painting project, I'm always going around with brightly colored fingers. I'll post pictures of that project soon.
