This has been a good week for contributor's copies: Mythic Delirium #15 ("Atthis in Boston," "Carne Vale") arrived over the weekend, and Electric Velocipede #11 ("Bar Golem") yesterday. These in company of Theodora Goss, Constance Cooper, Erzebet YellowBoy, Matt Cheney, Jeffrey Ford, Catherynne M. Valente, Liz Williams, and others always worth reading. Go thou forth and subscribe! Your dreams will thank you afterward.
According to the spam I received this afternoon alone, the friends I've lost touch with ("hi, it's . . .") are Frieda Holloway, Nelda Miner, Grimes Alfred, Ryan Maldonado, Lorna Avila, Gabriel Hickey, Kory Fleming, Mai Cramer, Jordan Kerns, and Branden Stringer. I think I liked it better when they were named things like Flushing Q. Remonstrance.*
The Prestige not only held up well on second viewing—I went on Saturday with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gaudior, rushthatspeaks, and the boy, who was in town: we had great discussion (and Tibetan curry) afterward—there were certain aspects I could appreciate only this time around, and I may be even more impressed with the film now than I was last week. Also, did I mention that Andy Serkis has a wonderful face? As the inventor's assistant, with a top hat and his sleeves rolled up, he looks like a slightly disreputable faun: I want to see him in more roles where he's visible as himself.
It is cold, and raw, and foggily dark. I am going to make hot chocolate.
*As I typed this, another e-mail arrived: from Leto Cleveland. That's not bad. Even if all she wanted was to sell me stock options.
