Your designer heart still beats with common blood

My poem "The Chymical Marriage" is now online at Strange Horizons. Its inspirations were Elsa Lanchester, Boris Karloff, Ernest Thesiger, and teenybuffalo; it was one of the seven poems I wrote in April. From some angles, it's science fiction.

As enthusiastically as I have proselytized about Terry Pratchett's Going Postal (2004) for the last several years—I now find myself telling people that it's my favorite Discworld novel—I was still somewhat surprised to discover that there is an adaptation of it in the works. I'm not disappointed, I'm just not used to anyone having the same favorite anything as me. But unless I hear reason otherwise, I am really going to look forward to it. IMDb tells me that its con-man protagonist, Moist von Lipwig, is going be played by Richard Coyle. Otherwise known (at least to me) as Jeff, from Coupling. And that really has the potential to be awesome.
