Into the light and out of the dark, to be with his red-haired lady

[sovay]

1. I am pleased to see that there is now an award named after the childhood author I had to keep describing to people, because rushthatspeaks is the only other person I've met who's read her. Apparently I was just in the wrong country. Maybe now I'll be able to find a copy of Devil on My Back (1984).

2. I am sad that my first week as a thirty-year-old has been mixed at best and all my plans for this weekend have disintegrated. Fortunately, I will be able to console myself on Sunday with Case Histories—Peter Pan (2003) reminded me that I do not have enough Jason Isaacs in my life. I was also reminded by Dreamchild (1984) that I've never written about that film, but it won't be happening this afternoon.

3. Have an interview with Tilda Swinton.

I'll be proofreading.

If you want a hardback, I can get it for you. You need but say.

Argh. Decision freeze.

Pfft. I see your freeze and raise you a thaw. Reprint, ex-library: it's allegedly in good nick, and it's costing me pennies. I've ordered it. It's a present, birthday girl.

If it arrives before Sunday next, it'll come to CA with me and I'll be nagging you for a snailmail address (assuming you're not coming to WFC?). If not, we'll get it to you later.

Okay; wow. Thank you so much!

(I wish I were coming to World Fantasy, but I am poor. Have a wonderful time!)
