I was going to bitch about my frelling knee and not being in Rhode Island, but, on second thought, the less said the better. So never mind.
I owe Bill Schafer at Subterranean Press a short story, so I suppose that's what's next. I sat at the iBook all yesterday afternoon waiting for the Right Idea, but it still hasn't come. Perhaps I will find it today. Perhaps it will find me. And I have to get back to the Threshold screenplay, because certain people have shown me an enormous amount of patience, waiting while I finished Murder of Angels a month late and all that. And blah, blah, blah.
Last night, Spooky and I watched the first Larry Fessenden film, No Telling, which was highly peculiar and a little clunky, over-acted at times, looking for a script at others, but still very disquieting in the end. We followed that with Equilibrium, which neither of us had seen before. A curious sort of film, part Fahrenheit 451, part 1984, part The Matrix, and really very little that was it's own, and yet it was still compelling. I did like the idea of the Grammaton clerics, though the whole thing felt a little rushed and shallow, as if the filmmakers were afraid of alienating their male target audience by looking very deeply into the complex world they had created (and Christian Bale was much better in Reign of Fire). I fell asleep to The Island of the Burning Doomed, which is a shame, because I love that film.
I think we're going to acquire pumpkins today.
Meanwhile, the eBay auctions are running again.
And a reminder: if you still haven't tried LunarCycles on Live365, well, what the hezmanna are you waiting for? An engraved invitation? (That's something my mother says. "What are you waiting for? An engraved invitation?" I think engraved invitations must be more important than the usual sort.) Kat and Shannon play the best of the best, dark electronica, goth, darkwave, industrial, you-name-it-and-they-play-it spooky goodness. So, don't be a fekkik. Tune in at 8 p.m.. And if you are waiting for an engraved invitation, give it up, silly.
