Still-life in black & white

I'm still in my latest funk. Everything sort of seems flat and colorless around me.
Been reading Clive Barker's 'Abarat' at my shot clinics... his writing is always imagical. 'Abarat' is supposed to be for 'young adults', but c'mon, this is Clive we're talking about here. Even 'Thief of Always' could be read by grown-ups. Clive illustrated 'Abarat', too. It's wonderful. His artwork is very living & looks kind of like he finger-painted it. I also like it because the copy I got off of half.com didn't come w/a dustjacket, so it's this big, slick purple book that says 'Abarat' on the spine in gold lettering. Very cool looking. And because I only read it at my shot clinic or when I'm in the bathroom, it's more like savoring a good piece of tira misu & less like devouring a plate of hot wings, which is how I fly through most books. 2 more shots on this dilution & then I'm on the maintenance dose. Woohoo.
Next weekend I've got to drag myself out of the house & go to something like Party City to see if I can find baby-shower crap for Jody. Aaagh!
