"...attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion."
A sunny, chilly autumn day. Black Friday, and I spent not one red cent. Our high was 63F.
It's not that The Night Watchers has stalled or anything. It grows ever weirder. I just haven't felt like talking about it. Maybe tomorrow.
This afternoon's film was Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982), the "Final Cut" (2007). When I first saw this film, on opening night here in Birmingham, I was eigteen years old, just out of high school. It was an early evening screening at the long defunct and sadly demolished Eastwood Mall theater in Irondale. That, of course, was the sadly wonky "Theatrical Cut," but even with the warts, I had never before seen such a brilliant science-fiction film, and it was love at first sight.
Fuck, I'm tired. I got up a little before five a.m., than kept falling asleep in my office chair all morning.
Note that PS Publishing is offering, for a limited time I assume, a bundle of their trade paperback eiditions of four of my short-fiction collections. Just £19, + p&h. Don't know how that would work for people outside the UK. Also, Ellen Datlow asks taht I spread the word that the ebook version of Haunted Legends is on sale for $1.99.
Also, of coursem there's Dreaming Squid Sundries.
Last night, we celebrated Thanksgiving with a very scaled down version of the traditional meal, then watched John Hughes' Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987), one of those rare Thanksgiving films.
