M is for Monday

Sirenia Digest #6 went out late yesterday afternoon and last night (thank you, Spooky), so everyone should have it by now. I've received some very positive comments on "The Black Alphabet," which is reassuring. Note, though, that this piece will not be reprinted in Tales from the Woeful Platypus, as the collection only covers issues #1-#6

Iman was much appreciated, though there was too little of her.

That was the one where they cast her because she could turn into a cat rather than on acting skills, yes ?

I read Sirenia this morning, and it gave me great pleasure. Writing to the alphabet has always struck me as a gimmick, a disaster in most writers' hands and best suited in good hands for dark-humorous things like Gorey's. But "The Black Alphabet" is amazing

I loved the Black Alphabet a lot, and I can't wait for the other letters.
Nothing better than Sirenia Digest to read in the morning...

and I kept singing the Kim Cattrall song from MST3K

I remember that. They were watching City Limits. I remember Dr. Forester saying it featured "James Earl Jones at a low point in his career and Kim Cattrall at a high one."

Of course, that was before Sex and the City. Catrall was the only thing I liked about that show. She was so wonderfully over the top.

I was baffled by Michael Dorn's appearance in the film (as ST:TNG had already established him as Worf)

He was supposed to be Worf's father (or grandfather, I forget which). Tuvok from Voyager can be seen on Sulu's ship (there's an episode of Voyager about it). And the Dax onboard the Enterprise is possibly an early appearance of DS9's Dax symbiote.

I feel my adolescence was well spent.

Ahhhhhh.

I wondered about that. I adored Dax.

I adored Dax.

Me too. This is in spite of the fact that I wasn't physically attracted to the Terry Farrell, which I even now am at a loss to explain. I loved sheheit's character, and the idea of herheit. I always wished there were more Dax episodes.

I sort of think she might have been my first alien crush.
