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.

That movie is one hell of a commercial for cannibalism.

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

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

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.
