Read: In Search Of The Castaways, Jules (you know, as questionably racist as Five Weeks In A Balloon was, it was actually really nice to see Verne openly showing compassion for the aboriginals of Australia, and how the white man was responsible for their destruction. Unexpected anti-racism in a book from 1867.)

Music: Franz Ferdinand, Franz Ferdinand (yes, the actual guy, back from the dead and ready to do it all over again)It is ironic, because as I build my tolerance for more and more butt-in-seat time writing, that I think over three thousand words a marathon.
