Because Gyros should not go without comment...

[newnumber6]

Went to the Taste of the Danforth festival today, even though it was raining... well, spitting, maybe. Still, that made the crowds not nearly as oppressive as they were in previous years, which is good for me but kind of a shame for the festival itself.

Still, I got my traditional gyro and enjoyed it mightily.

In other news, Hugo Awards have been announced. Stephen Moffat won one, for Blink (which was probably the best of the nominees). Best novel went to Michael Chabon's "The Yiddish Policeman's Union", which is probably the best scenario for me, because it also won the Nebula, and so when I read it to once again complete my goal of having every Hugo award winning novel read, I'll also take a step towards my goal of having every Nebula award winning novel read.

No propane raining on you, I hope?

Luckily, no. That was still a fair bit north of me... I hadn't even _heard_ about it until late in the afternoon on Sunday (I don't tend to watch much news on Sundays). Still, pretty crazy nonetheless about it. Bet a bunch of people were freaking out late that night.

I'd be interested to see what you think of The Yiddish Policeman's Union. I read it a while back (did I review it here?).

I recall someone on my flist doing so, so I'll assume it was you because that would make sense. Won't be for a little while yet though, since I don't actually own a copy (I very rarely buy books in hardcover and I believe it only recently came out in softcover)
