We've enough mouths to feed as it is

1. I just got back from being shown Antonia Bird's Ravenous (1999) by teenybuffalo. It was terrific. I want to double-feature it with Neil Jordan's Byzantium (2012).

2. My Pussy Grabs Back T-shirt arrived today in the mail. I will wear it when I vote.

3. For everyone who was commiserating with me last year about the general unavailability of Dorothy J. Heydt's Cynthia stories, good news! semy_of_pearls contacted me tonight: Heydt's long out-of-print novel The Interior Life (1990) is now available for download as an e-book from her website and The Witch of Syracuse is due out next in the spring. In the meantime, check out The Interior Life and kick in via PayPal so that she can keep doing this! I am delighted.

I got a "Nasty Women Vote" shirt. Heh.

Perhaps someone could combine the slogans! "Nasty pussies"?

Not sure if it'll arrive in time for Nov 3, my birthday, when I plan to walk down my write-in ballot.

As I just said in email, the world is very tiny.

Excellent T-shirt. More of a Nasty Woman, myself.

Thank you for the link to Heydt's e-books news—I am likewise delighted!

You're welcome! I was glad to see that james_nicoll has already informed everybody in comments at papersky's Tor review.

I should be getting used to it by now!

That movie is one hell of a commercial for cannibalism.

While I'm thinking of it, most of the soundtrack is on YouTube:

The track with banjo and whooping was hard for me to find (that's what I initially went looking for) but it's just called "RUN."

And here's the plaintive "Ashokan Farewell"-like air on accordion and strings that has remained stuck in my head since last night. It feels like it should have words.

At just the low, low price of your ability to regard other people as people rather than sooner or later fuel . . .

I actually found a copy online! It just took forever to download, because our supposedly high-speed internet from Verizon is really, really not. I can try to send it to you at some future date when I have access to less molasses internet.

Mm, yes, and I always overestimate my capacity for antisocial violence and murder. It's easy when the prize is having a healing factor like Wolverine, inhuman strength, mental well-being and the ability to absorb bullets and travel via serial-killer jump cuts and swooshes across the camera. But I don't have it in me, in the long run.

(Though none of this could stop Boyd from having nightmares, so evidently it can't remodel my entire conscience. "One's entire conscience." One's. Not mine.)

I would flippin' love the soundtrack. No deadline on that, just let me know when it becomes possible. Thanks in advance.
