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.

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

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.
