Scratch this. It spilled into November.

Note that my September placeholders remain, which does not bode well for October.

At this point I think I'm just going to have to hope to do better in November! But thanks for setting this up!

I seem to be somewhat randomly 'catching up' (not really)
October 22 2012

-Bacteria article - ripped out and saved. fascinating. I've read similar in some science rags too.
-Sedaris. faintly humorous self exposure....
- train crash in China. DNR
-photographer Trevor Paglen - (person I never heard of article) photographs 'secret' govt. stuff. Interesting. Obsessed with drones.
-story - skipped. Why would I want to read about someone killing a barnful of cats???

I must have read the rest of October because I they aren't in the pile, but they aren't written up here, I've noticed...... in any case, I am almost finished with Oct 15

I swear I did read some of it, but I can't remember a single thing!!!! I did at least read the cartoons and poems, I always do that. And I know it was another story I had no interest in reading...... NYer burnout!

oh well, turns out it was crammed into my bag, not quite finished. The only thing I really read was the George Saunders story which was odd but entertaining.

- article about little boy football players - this sort of thing nonplusses me. I know some kids are remarkably gifted ..... but......
