"At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines..."

First, for those just tuning in, on Wednesday night I'll be reading at KGB Bar in Manhattan, with Michael Cisco. Be there if you can. I still don't know what I'll be reading. I usually decide on the spot. I just scared the beejeesus out of Ellen Datlow to giving her the impression I thought the reading was tomorrow night, which is what I get for

Yeah, I look a lot better in the first one, but the second one shows off the peculiar yellow eye shine of my blind eye so well, I had to include it.

You have very excellent eyeshine.

Thank you for the photographs.

You have very excellent eye shine.

It almost never shows up in digital photos, but almost always in film photos.

Also, happy bullshit holiday day.

If it makes you feel any better, I still have to go to school to-night.

Nice photos.

I have to have my hair colored (grey again), and I hate having my hair colored.

Ah. Well, as I recall the grey did look pretty good on you. It could be worse--I have to go to the dentist to-morrow.

[greygirlbeast]

Ack. Okay, that's almost the worst.

Love the pictures. And I hope the reading is a smashing success!

I love reading at KGB. This will, I think, be my third time since 2000. The last time was in 2008.

Yay for getting a chance to read there again. I wish I could attend, but personal transporters haven't been invemted yet.

All the best for the reading. I hope it goes as well as previous occasions.

If Facebook just fucked off and did its own Facebook thing without usurping all these other platforms (along with any kind of privacy you might want to retian) I would be a lot less pissed off at it.

Good luck with Cherry Bomb also. Fingers crossed that this is one is fairly smooth sailing.

So far, so good.

huh. I don't think in all the years of reading the blog that I've realized you have a sister.

[greygirlbeast]

Well, there she is. I've never spoken a great deal about my family, largely out of respect for their privacy. But Facebook has sort of brought down those walls for me. The 3,058 people currently following me on FB occasionally are in on conversations between me and my family (well, a few of those 3,058 are family).

Also I have aunts, uncles, three nephews, a step sister, a vast bevy of first cousins, a mother...
