I've just finished my contribution to the next mind meld. (not telling the subject--sticking out tongue).
Crawling slowly towards the homestretch of my Best Horror of the Year #1 (I've contracted for 10 stories so far); and finally finished the bio/intros for Darkness: Two Decades of Modern Horror. Now I have to tear my hair out as I attempt to write a coherent preface/intro to the whole book.
Watched Pieces of April from 2003, with Katie Holmes as the problem child attempting Thanksgiving dinner for her family, made up of Oliver Platt and Patricia Clarkson, the latter amazing as the mother dying of cancer (nominated for the Oscar in Supporting category. Was robbed by Renée Zellweger for Cold Mountain. In fact, everyone I saw was better than Zellweger that year --I didn't see Holly Hunter in Thirteen ). Alison Pill plays the younger sister and looks very young.
And four episodes of Carnivale's plus the first episode of Pushing Daisies--I'd seen a couple of shows later in the second season and was given the whole first season for my birthday.
This afternoon I went to a street fair on 23rd street (sucky as usual) and The Garage--where I picked up a couple of interesting tintypes and some pretty antique buttons.
Finally, Bookslut in Training, Colleen Mondor just reviewed Poe on Bookslut

Actually had to decline. The oldest authors I know still have their work in print! (Or what used to be out of print a decade ago is now available.)

Do you mean through my publisher? I can certainly request that they do so but I have no power to make them...

and yes, that was a particularly uninspiring street fair. the only good thing was that it sort of smelled like summer.

They mostly are these days. There's one good one in the west village every year, that still has crafts and antiques but I don't recall when it is.
