Why in the world would I waste my time on football when TCM ran a marathon of 1950′s SF movies, all in beautiful condition? including both Red Planet Mars and Destination Moon, it from the sublime to the . . . well, paranoid. Lots of fun.

This gave me something better to do today than point to the scary spider bite on my posterior, point to it and ask my husband “is this looking any worse?”

I’m holding off on reading the serialization, as I understand myself well enough to know that I’ll just be frustrated that I can’t read more of the book after I’ve finished the portion that SubPress is posting. Besides, anticipation is half the fun – that ‘two days before Christmas when you’re 8 years old’ feeling….

I’m not familiar with Ms. Bear’s work, but: Wow! Alt.history, vampires, detectives, colonial/imperial intrigue, and a murder mystery. I think I’ll have to buy this one :)

Thanks for the rec, John!

Pig sooie! Go hogs!

After being blown away by the Hammered trilogy, I’ve been hoping that another Elizabeth Bear story would come along to grab me the same way.

The characters seem really interesting here, and I’m hopeful for the rest of the story.

Too bad they’re all on in the middle of the night and I have to be up early.

Not to slight Elizabeth Bear, of course, who I have been told is quality, and will eventually get around to checking out.
