1. My poem "Domovoi, I Came Back!", after the pendant of the same name by Elise Matthesen, has been accepted by Stone Telling. This is going to be some inaugural issue.
2. Bob Colby, B. Diane Martin, David Shaw, and Eric M. Van have been nominated for a World Fantasy Award for Readercon. As much as I loved Kit Whitfield's In Great Waters, I would by far prefer to see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
greygirlbeast take the award for The Red Tree. I wouldn't mind if Miyazaki won for Ponyo, either.
3. I seem to have had a vacation. It was lovely. There will be a synopsis tomorrow.
(I climbed Mount Hancock. The pleasing part is that even in its current state, my body is capable of a four-thousand footer. The impressive part is thatschreibergasse and his brother are still speaking to me.)
4. And when I got back to Boston, Viking Zen showed me Jane Campion's The Piano (1993), which I loved. This I had expected; its cast alone was enough to compel my attention (Holly Hunter, Harvey Keitel, Anna Paquin, Sam Neill) and I had been very impressed with Bright Star, with which it shares a nineteenth-century setting and a concern with voices. No one warned me, however, that it would be as fetishistic about music as The Pillow Book is about text. No wonder Michael Nyman did the soundtrack. I approve.
5. Happy birthday,fleurdelis28! Happy birthday, rushthatspeaks!
6. My God, have I got a lot of e-mail to answer.
