It was not long before we began doing experiments together in Chemistry

Readercon continues apace. So does the rest of my life, which is why I am reading slush.

1. I mean to post this a week ago, but it's been that kind of week: The Moment of Change has been very well reviewed at Weird Fiction Review. I am pleased to be name-checked, but even more pleased with the review as a whole. Rose Lemberg should edit more anthologies.

2. A friend of a college friend of mine has a son in this show: Pink Milk: A Magic Tragedy. I suspect I'd disagree with some of its directions of "loosely based" (Alan did like to watch Christopher play the piano, but they bonded over astronomy, chemistry and maths), but I like the fact of more Turing art out there. I like this image. Anyone in New York City, want to give me a review?

3. All right, I've been convinced to see Hitchcock's The Lodger (1927). I don't suppose I can get it on DVD in this country?

The trackpad on this machine is still broken. I suspect it is back to the Apple store today. Again. Knock it off, computer. You are not a metaphor.

Heh. Always reminds me of the Onion's take on the Titanic:
'WORLD'S BIGGEST METAPHOR SUNK BY ICEBERG.'

'WORLD'S BIGGEST METAPHOR SUNK BY ICEBERG.'

I think that's my favorite headline of theirs, although "Hitler Neutralizes Polish Menace" runs it a close second.

(To be strictly honest, it runs it a close second in the slight paraphrase in which the headline was first relayed to me: "Germany Squashes Polish Menace." It's just a funnier verb.)

'WORLD'S BIGGEST METAPHOR SUNK BY ICEBERG.'

Somehow I'd missed that one. I like it very much. Thank you!
