He doesn't just sleep with his own sex, his lovers always look like him

Things to catch up on—

My poem "The Windfalls" (written for and dedicated to nineweaving) has been accepted by Lone Star Stories for their April issue. Thanks in part to this sale, and to a conjunction of several most welcome discounts at the local Barnes & Noble, I have been able to purchase the Criterion DVD of A Canterbury Tale for a price that did not leave me bankrupt. I shall dedicate its first viewing to ericmarin.

The last several days have been consumed with writing, but the end result is that my story "A Voice in Caves" will appear shortly in Sirenia Digest #14, so for the love of God, if you haven't already, subscribe. greygirlbeast has extended her not-to-be-missed offer until January 31st—a free signed copy of the trade paperback of Silk to each new subscriber—and for those of you who don't get enough gay male weird erotica in your everyday lives, this issue should be a particular enticement.

Our Powell-and-Pressburger-fest continues, now with more rushthatspeaks. On Wednesday, we watched Black Narcissus, and are set for The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) or The Tales of Hoffmann (1951) next. ( All pretenses to chronological order have since been abandoned. )
