I had to reconstruct this entire post after my e-mail ate it. So much for save-to-draft. I think it was much better written the first time around, but at least the content should be functionally the same.
1. My poem "Similes" has been accepted by Not One of Us. It is one of the few poems I've written about being happy. Next up, I insist on this, trees.
2. I am in the wrong country this month. Have some assorted articles about Derek Jarman. Dammit.
3. The original cast recording of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is out on CD this month. I want that.
4. After nine years, the Wikipedia entry for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
derspatchel's mildly surrealist interactive fiction Pick Up the Phone Booth and Die has been deleted. Which sucks on general principle, and Rob is being classy about it, but I am personally side-eyeing one of the reasons given: "Text adventures were already an obscure hobby by the mid 90's following FTL's release of Dungeon Master in 1989." Any archive that uses obscurity as its first reason for exclusion or removal seems to be failing the definition as far as I'm concerned.
5. I finished Ben Aaronovitch's Broken Homes (2013). It's spoilers from here on.
( And, having made sure everyone was paying attention to the front, Nightingale walked in through the back door. )
DooWee & Rice no longer exists, but the Teriyaki House that sprang up in its stead is serving Duy Tran's menu until the end of the week. Going by the takeout menu I got this afternoon, their regular lineup also seems to have incorporated some of his dishes, like the chicken (or steak) and rice, the crispy chicken hearts, and the several different flavors of bao, but the full former range is available through Friday, meaning among other things many different flavors of bao. I can attest to the kind made with Dominican longaniza. Lime habanero needs to happen before it's gone for good.
