1) Well then.
Yesterday's entry certainly set my inbox on fire.
2) Speaking of inboxes, if you've direct-messaged me here on LJ recently and I didn't reply, you will probably want to check and make sure that you don't have the privacy option enabled, which means that I
can't send you a message back.
3) If you were interested in
Melissa's Harry, A History signing at NYCC, I double-checked, and you will be able buy the book while you're there.
4) I was reading
"The Great God Pan" last night, and then I reread Stephen King's story "N.," and he mentions in the afterword/notes that most horror writers (of which I consider myself one, to some extent) end up taking on the theme of the world being "thin" in places, places thin enough to glimpse unspeakable horrors. After a little thought, I realized that this idea doesn't actually appeal to me all that much, and that I tend to think of reality as a very
thick place, actually--so thick and gnarled and crannied, like an old house or a hollow tree, that you never quite know what might be lurking in the corners. But I still think of it all as being on the same plane, just full of... nooks.
5) I had a really weird dream this morning that involved people having a party
invading spilling into my backyard, and then a frontal assault from a bunch of schoolchildren in the front yard who all had to go to the bathroom and their teacher-nuns (long grey dresses. I don't know) let them into my house (which was suddenly a mansion) without asking me, and I was really, REALLY concerned that they were going to steal all my jewelry. Apparently I have boundary issues at this time.
6) Today's Snack Deathmatch:
honey roasted peanuts vs. salted cashews. I'm more of an almond/hazelnut girl myself, but my stepfather is definitely a cashew man.
