Just learned about Leigh Brackett. Amazing. Not only adapted The Big Sleep with William Faulkner, but also started The Empire Strikes Back with Lucas, until her death.

Started this over the weekend, really interesting concept. Vaguely reminds me of The Raw Shark Texts in its approach to memory.

I second everything John said here. I already knew Greg Ketter from DreamHaven Books was a good person so this really isn’t surprising, but at 70 he shouldn’t have to be walking through tear gas on a Minneapolis street to try to protect his neighbors. Abolish Ice.

Picked this up yesterday, and love it! Super fun, and love how the navigation computer is singularly unprepared for monsters, as well as the feuds with other computer systems over perceived slights.

Liking it more now. It only took 10 chapters for me to notice that there are 3 symbols which can appear before each chapter, letting us know where the story takes place.

I wish I liked Strength of the Few (book 2) as much. It's doing more, narratively, and I understand the reasons, I'm just not enjoying it as much. Yet, at least. Plugging away at it.

Ham's favorite game - chasing the bouncing ball in the front hallway. He makes some of the best hopjumps I've seen.

A friend's dad grew up with turkeys. A rain barrel was in their pen. One day, a turkey jumped up to the lip. A 2nd, wanting to see what was there, jumped up and knocked #1 into the water. Repeat until barrel full of drowned turkeys. Happy Thanksgiving!

After a bit of mulling, I think it's because 'fell' (down) contrasts with 'erupted' (up) even though I doubt I could come up with this if I were writing it.

Found this old magazine interview with Cocteau Twins, circa Blue Bell Knoll, by Paul Trynka. International Musician & Recording World Nov 88. If anyone wants to know some of the tech they used, it's in there.
