Captain, art thou sleeping there below?
Achievement of the day: walking a nine-month-old niece to sleep with a combination of "Tommy's Lot," "Bath Time," "Midnight Feast," "Fine Horseman," "Some Old Salty," George Mackay Brown's "John Barleycorn," "Drake's Drum," and "Three Fishers." (I scrambled the genders on that last one. Even Leslie Howard doesn't believe men must work and women must weep.) By that point we were on the bike path. We were almost home when my brother came by to collect her in his truck whose muffler just died and she recognized the sound instantly and woke up. It is amazing how much more of a person my niece is even than the last time I saw her. She is crawling now, and standing if she has something to hang on to, and she sticks her arms out to be picked up and then climbs. I had to tuck my necklace inside my shirt because she goes for it just like one of the cats. She has silvery strawberry-fair hair and her eyes are grey-blue with a dark, dark outer ring. Curiously, very much like ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
derspatchel's. He will look related to her when I don't. She didn't want to leave without waving to me.
The collected print edition of the first year of Mythic Delirium is now officially a thing. It reprints my poem "Cuneiform Toast" (afterelisem's earrings of the same name), it got a starred review from Publishers Weekly, and I really like the cover. Available by World Fantasy in November!
Speaking of snakes and gaze, check outsairaali's "Gorgon Girls." I've been waiting for this poem to go live; it amazes me.
Unrelatedly to any of the above, this gifset is the cutest outtake I have seen from any Harry Potter film.
Today, actually, pleasingly: not bad.
[edit] And I got home to find an erotic Man Ray postcard mailed from Berlin (thank you, Saira!) and Rob and I just made fettuccine alfredo from scratch with fresh lemon-basil pasta, prosciutto, and diced hard-boiled egg, and now we're watching the latest Doctor Who. So, yeah.

The internet's great, but my heart is still with print and ink. I will be happy to shelve this volume alongside all the little 'zine issues of Mythic Delirium over the years.
