I'm trying to get out for days and these green vines keep getting in my way

My poem "Tapping the Vine," written yesterday under enthusiastic circumstances, has been accepted by tithenai and mer_moon for their guest-edited issue of Mythic Delirium, forthcoming in the spring of 2010. Now I can get back to all the poems I owe everyone else.

If you have not already seen greygirlbeast's relaunched website, please check it out. I cannot be held responsible for any disturbance or disorientation consequent thereto.

I must now mow the lawn and somehow avoid heatstroke in the process. There will be updates of one sort or another when I get back.

I want to strangle the stars for all they promised me

Clearly our species does not deserve spaceflight.

At least the triumph of our cephalopod overlords is not far off.

I survived the lawn. Tonight, I am going to see Up (2009). And then I am tired of not writing a particular story; I think it is time to start researching again. No con report yet, but have a photograph: courtesy of ellen_datlow, me and greygirlbeast, amazingly still conscious (though a bit overexposed) on Sunday afternoon.



I have no clever caption. I'm just impressed I could still make eye contact. greygirlbeast looks good.
