So that all the mangroves' mud and sand could never bury me

[sovay]

I consider it unreasonable in the extreme to have anxiety nightmares about something that already happened, but that's how I started my day. I worked until my brain hit a wall and then I lay under a cat and did nothing except stare at TCM and then fall asleep, which I hope was good for me.

muccamukk is looking for recommendations for Jewish vampire fiction. I've named all the ones I can think of and am now feeling more than vaguely as though I should contribute to the literature myself.

forestofglory is recommending Jewish SFF in general. I want credit for stuffing Tiny Wittgenstein into a desk drawer and mentioning myself in comments.

Good grief, there's a picture of me in the Slovenian news. That'd be the Ig Nobels.

Wow, the Slovenian news!

I wrote a novel about a vampire Sylvia Plath (still unpublished, alas), but it doesn't have a particularly Jewish sensibility, I think. You should definitely write some Jewish vampire fiction!

I hope you get pleasant sleep with lots of friendly purring cats, either in or out of the dreams.

Famous in Slovenia?

I can think of worse place to be famous in! :o)

Mrph. I hate anxiety dreams like that. Sorry to hear you have those type too.

(Me, my dream last night was a mashup of some Chinese poems I was trying to translate and Roman imperial succession politics. Not fun.)

Was there a Slovenian winner? Or does the Slovenian news just have a good sense of humor and interest in odd science?

I went charging over there to recommend Leigh Ann Hussey's "Blood Libel" and found you'd beaten me to it. Man oh man, that was a good story.
