That is not it, at all

1. A postcard arrived for me from Venice and Paris, from [livejournal.com profile] hylomorphist. It requests that I write the sender a short story based on Max Ernst's La Toilette de la mariée (1940):



We'll see how that goes, then.

2. Successfully dredged from the depths of Google search strings, [livejournal.com profile] cucumberseed has posted his brilliant crossover of Star Wars and T.S. Eliot, "The Lovesong of Admiral Piett." I would request this for Strange Horizons if I didn't think the estate of George Lucas would decapitate me.

3. Dora Goss took a photo of the Naked City reading at Porter Square Books on Thursday in which [livejournal.com profile] gaudior, [livejournal.com profile] rushthatspeaks, and I are all visible in the audience. We have those expressions because a man in the first row has just asked a Teutonically complicated question about semiotics and message that had absolutely nothing to do with any of the stories, much less with cities. It was kind of awesome.

I should write about both Julian Schnabel's Basquiat (1996) and Richard Hughes' In Hazard (1938), but I think Rush and I are going to collapse on the futon and watch something first.

....Well, you could. It's like the Arnolfini Marriage on succubi.
