Into the earth I trampled it down

Colder again today, but knowing that spring is near helps.

Here's a nice little write up from "The Agony Column" regarding the forthcoming third edition of Tales of Pain and Wonder. The piece was posted way back on November 11th, but I only just saw it yesterday. Obviously, I don't agree with its take on the cover of the Meisha-Merlin edition, but

I have the Meisha Merlin version of Tales of Pain and Wonder, which my husband got me for my 24th birthday. It has been read by many people and looks appropriately loved and used. Of course, I also think I'm the only one who's read it who hasn't been completely ooked out entirely. Just a bit here and there. ;) There's something about freakshow attractions in trailers that gets to me.

It pains me that my financial situation is such that I cannot help you with your medical costs (since I'm still working on helping my husband pay his off) or purchase any of the new releases of your books. For all that you've given me, in the way of fantasy and escape and inspiration, it seems rather cheap of me not to be able to give anything back. For that, I'm so very sorry. But I'm over here cheering for you and wishing you the best.

Well, it's good to know some good came of that abomination. ;-)

Cheering is good and much appreciated. Thank you.

Doggie!

Um. That is perhaps the least substantive comment I have ever made in your journal.

However:

Doggie!

Doggie!

Doggie, indeed. :-)

*rolls eyes in self-bemusement* Owl and I can be driving along and having some deep conversation, and then we'll see a dog and turn into 3-year-olds.

'Christianity owes a lot to Paganism for its iconography as well as its - Ooo! Doggie!'
'Fluffy foofy doggie!'
'...yeah, so anyway, Paganism...'

Will either "The Drowned Geologist (1898)" or "From Cabinet 34, Drawer 6" be included in the sf collection? Either way, I'm excited for this one! Any idea when it may come out?

So glad we helped with the medical bills! If/when you need us again, just shout :]

Nope. These will be strictly sf tales. And no shared world.

Any idea when it may come out?

Not yet, but I'll post as soon as I know.

do feel better!

Good to hear you're on the mend and feeling better, so to speak.
Just knowing that you have friends that support you and do what they can goes a long way towards your well being. Burdens lifted will give you less stress all around, and less stress means breathing easier. And that's something that makes everybody feel better
That said, I've made a minor report on this weekend's outing to the Dances of Vice Festival which can be found at The Minor Mishaps of Skusting Dagger. You guys would have loved it! I felt like I was in New Babbage in the flesh!

Oh, I forget to mention... I feel, and can quite share your pain when it comes to dental woes. My own teeth are so sensitive, that I cannot even go in for a normal cleaning without at least six shots of novocain!
