The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

We wanted to do something different on New Year's Eve, something special, something we almost never, ever do.

So we went to see a movie in a movie theatre.

And, because I'm oddly helpless before Terry Gilliam and both of us are fools for fables and forlorn hopes (and because we didn't want to wait on line for blockbusters every review has fingered

Friday...Friday...Can't wait. I already have my day planned. I'm glad the four-Tonies decision worked out.

Ha! Know where you got your icon from. I used to blog as Butterfly Minds and had that old Vogue illustration up along with some others. Ellen contacted me and said it looked shockingly like you. I've just set up a new blog after being rather neglectful with the old one, and thought I'd add you as well as Ellen this time. And lo and behold, the image I have at the top of my new blog is the same as your new icon! Anyway, I think I once commented on your blog a couple of years or so ago about a story of yours I absolutely loved - set in Elizabethan England and featuring a cross dressing fairy. I love gender ambigious stories, and thought you handled the language like a native of that period. I think the version I saw was reprinted in The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror. Otherwise, I'm adding you. Hope that's okay. If not, let me know and I'll unadd you as it were. Best wishes for the New Year.

Welcome! I'm flattered you friended me. And am delighted to be able to thank you for the icon I love so much. I'm also glad you liked "The Fairy Cony-Catcher," and am particularly pleased you liked the language. It is the legacy of many years in graduate school, studying Tudor prose and Non-Shakespearean Renaissance Drama (and everything else in that period that stood still long enough). I'd never do a whole book in it, but it was fun for a couple of stories.
