Back from Atlanta. Actually, we got home fairly early, about 1:30 a.m. On the way home, I listened to Diary of Dreams and Attrition and watched lightning over the mountains. It was a good little trip. I bought new zines (there's a good review of Wrong Things in the new Cemetery Dance), then went off to the Righteous Room on Ponce with friends. I got a little tipsy on tequila (really, not genuinely drunk, just pleasantly tipsy) and woke up this morning with bruises I can't quite explain and sore knees. We talked about all the geeky stuff we usually talk about: music, Farscape, movies, Farscape, writing, Farscape, the "old days" in Athens, and, well, Farscape. A very nice break from work, though the heat on the drive up was atrocious. And I came home to find a big box from Gothic.net waiting for me, because I'd won last month's monthly drawing for Cool Stuff. I didn't open it until this morning, because I was entirey too pooped last night to appreciate Cool Stuff. This morning I was delighted to find the box contained: one Snow Globe of the Apocalypse ("locusts"), a Gothic.net t-shirt, a Mothman Prophecies t-shirt, the From Hell DVD, a hardback copy of Ray Bradbury's From the Dust Returned (!!!), and a very cool Bela Lugosi-as-Dracula action figure. Go join Gothic.net and you too can win cool, free dren.
Anyway, now I have to work. Low Red Moon and "The Drowned Geologist." I'd rather watch Johnny Depp smoke opium and chase Jack the Ripper. But there you go.
