It's Perfectly Fine To Sleep In a Chair From Monday to Saturday

ITEM THE FIRST: Alice Sola Kim is one of my favorite writers. She has a mind-bendy new story about obsession, euthanasia, and body-stealing over at Strange Horizons. Go read We Love Deena.

ITEM THE SECOND: The above is an example of a plug. On Friday I asked y'all to plug your work, and a few of you did. Not many, though, so I'm asking you again. Go to that post and tell me what you've got that we should all be picking up and/or waiting for with bated breath.

ITEM THE THIRD: Irony lives! After voting for the front-runner in Dr. L's poll (see sidebar), I am now reading two-count-'em-two books about vampires: Mr. Westerfeld's Peeps and Sergei Lukyanenko's Nightwatch. Two very different approaches, and I'm enjoying them both.

ITEM THE FOURTH: I miss the sun. It's me vs. February, and February is winning. Next year at this time I think I'm going to try to get out of this hemisphere. Maybe Argentina, maybe Kenya. Maybe I'm dreaming and I can't afford either. It's nice to think about, though.

No, THANK YOU. I love that story :-)

I am seriously thinking about it, although I probably seriously think about it every year at this time. As in, "February sucks. I should go somewhere far, far away next February. Like, for the whole stinkin' month." And then it doesn't happen.

However, COCAINE STAND!!! That is genius. Southern Hemisphere, here I come! (Well, either that or Maximum Security Penitentiary.)
