I am currently reading The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-city Neighborhood, by David Simon and Edward Burns. Yes, the guys who did The Wire before The Wire. This book is nonfiction. The book is very good, although - there is a lot of detail. Human memory doesn't usually work like that. It makes me wonder if bits were made up - and how the writers handled it when they were presented with contradicting stories.

I'm watching The Boy and the Heron. Not as weird as Ponyo, but still pretty weird.

I'm also continually rewatching the scene between L and Light in the rain in the 25th episode of Death Note.

I'm making my way up to the present day in the You're Wrong About podcast. I don't think it's as good as it was before Michael Hobbes left, but I am still enjoying it. The episode I'm listening to now is on Balloonfest ‘86, an event I had never heard of before.
