eBay, Footsteps, and Formal Wear

Jan 19, 2012 20:54

Kind of late in the day for it, I know, but new eBay auctions are up: hardcovers of Drawing Blood and Antediluvian Tales, plus the chapbooks Stay Awake, The Seed of Lost Souls, Used Stories, and The Feast of St. Rosalie, all signed, all personalized if you wish.

Every night that I sleep at home -- and that's not as many as it should be these days -- I dream I hear footsteps coming down the hall. Weirdly (especially if you know me), it never scares me. I usually think it's Chris, but one night I thought it was Victor Pascow from Pet Sematary. Even then I didn't give a damn; I just thought, "Go away, Pascow, there might be a few people I want to kill but there's sure nobody I want to bring back to life." And he did, or the cats stopped making footstep noises (probably accompanied by little trollfaces), or whatever.

Things I have for my ball outfit: Jacket; tuxedo shirt; cummerbund; suspenders; cufflinks. Things I still need, and must acquire tomorrow: Pants; shirtfront studs; vest; bow tie. And who knows, maybe some kind of special socks or God only knows what. This is more complicated than any girl outfit I ever wore in my life.
