Tape and Wire

Last night was pretty quiet. I watched an episode of The Wire and read some of my book. I was also listening to some more of the Pet Sematary tape. It's a story about a man who discovers an ancient burial ground which has the power to resurrect the dead. However, those who come back in that way are always horribly changed somehow. It's a very dark and pretty gruesome story, and the radio adaptation is very faithful to the book. Stephen King once claimed that it was the scariest book that he had written.

It was another very dull day at work, and my headache, which had pretty much cleared, began to resurface as the day went along. I'm feeling okay now, though.

One thing I found out was that novelist Richard Price is going to be in town next month and is going to be introducing a screening of the movie Clockers at a cinema and answering questions about it. I would really like to see that. Interestingly, Price wrote a number of episodes of The Wire, and that same day I have a ticket to see David Simon, who created the show. However Simon is in the evening and Clockers is in the afternoon so I would be able to see both.
