Yet it is not Dionysos who by himself has devised the game like a cruel child

My poem "Tapping the Vine" appears to have placed second in the 2011 Dwarf Stars Award. Thanks to lesser_celery for the heads-up.

One of the rides at EPCOT Center which I have remembered most vividly for the last twenty-plus years (I was three-ish the first time my parents took me, eight the second and last time; I remember insisting I was tall enough for Space Mountain at Disney World and then being convinced we were going to smash into something in the dark and die) was the now-defunct Horizons, which I didn't realize was defunct until derspatchel told me. This afternoon I found the script and had sort of a simultaneous attack of nostalgia and Weltschmerz. I wanted that kelp-forest future.

I am running a fever. Today could have been a lot better.

Congratulations!

I'm sorry it's gone.

We went to Disney World once, when I was maybe two or three. I dimly remember a ride with large teacups, and a hotel room with my parents and sister. I don't remember wondering where my aunt and the dolphins were, so I take it I must have understood that there was more than one amusement park in the world, rather than all of them being the same place, because I think I remember before then going to a park she worked at.

I'm very sorry for your fever, and I hope you'll be feeling better soon.
