Rabbit, rabbit.
Inspired by Jason Wilson and Dave Swarbrick's Lion Rampant (2014) and the ever-increasing tinniness of the sound on my laptop, I dug out my old speakers from New Haven. I'd forgotten they'd survived until my mother reminded me. The sound is a little hissy and crackly—they weren't new speakers when they were boxed up—but I can play music in stereo off my computer for the first time in nine years. It's wonderful. There are albums I have never heard on anything but my laptop speakers and I am playing them properly for the first time. At the moment it is weirding the cats out slightly, such that they're circling warily and peering into my office from the doorway, but I trust they will get used to it and eventually resume sleeping on my lap while I type, because I find their presence incredibly reassuring and I am the warmest thing in the room outside of the radiator. At least so far it's keeping them from eviscerating the new and exciting tangle of wires. [edit] We have Autolycus! Cat on my lap and music. Success.
Because it is February, I am reading again for Strange Horizons. Send me your poems! I'm editor on duty until the end of March.
It is amazing how much happier being able to hear music normally makes me.
