god forbid I get bored

I’m flying to San Francisco today for a security conference. In my bag:

• Current issues of The Atlantic and Harpers

• Books:

  • “Mirror, Mirror,” by Gregory Maguire
  • “Light,” by M. John Harrison

• DVDs:

  • Ghost World
  • The Triplets of Belleville

• Games on my laptop:

  • Lux
  • Escape Velocity

• TV on my laptop:

  • First two eps of Carnivale, Season 2

• Lunch, made of leftovers from this week.

• iPod, recently topped up with Terry Pratchett’s “Witches Abroad’ and the 2 most recent “This American Life” shows, courtesy of Audible.com.

From this, archaeologiests will determine than I was a fast-reading geek with a gnat’s attention span who was apparently very averse to being on a plane and having nothing novel to do or eat.
