Armed with cigarettes and innocence, you went down, down, down
My poem "Acceptable Documentation," originally published in Sycorax Journal #1, has been nominated for the 2019 Rhysling Award. I am really pleased.
I dreamed about what I don't quite want to characterize as a haunted museum, presided over by a false and baleful moon. It had a dry chalky light. I remember the sea rolling in over stone steps, but it feels too pat to say the moon had brought it. Awake, I'm just flatteningly tired; I am trying to do very little with my afternoon. It's raining outside in one of those soft grey wandering ways. There's still snow under the bushes. Couple of links.

3. I strongly suspect that I don't really want to watch all seven seasons of Once Upon a Time for the sake of this gifset, but it's surprisingly tempting.

I watched Once Upon a Time while it was airing, but I think it was around season three when I drifted away. I think about two or three seasons is the sweet spot for me with TV shows; beyond that, either I start finding it repetitive (unless it's unusually brilliant or has managed to catch my interest in a way where I'm emotionally invested enough that I don't care), or else it's just too much of a time investment to even start it. Shows that have infrequent, short installments of canon, as British/European or Netflix shows often do, are easier for me to keep up with.

Thank you!

I watched all five seasons of Babylon 5 while it was airing and a metric ton of Law & Order in re-runs. Otherwise, now that I think about it, I am not sure I have ever finished a multiple-season series as opposed to something like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Slings & Arrows, or Sapphire & Steel. There are several longer series (and a couple of shorter ones) I would like to finish, but I will actively need to make it happen.
