Deux anniversaires.

I better number this one. Well, after I mention an extraordinarily weird dream I had last night involving a secret society of women who were capable of accomplishing mind transference, and so, once a year, traded bodies. And I was being asked to join. But it wasn't this me, it was some other version of me. The the whole affair was far more sinister

Here's to getting closer to things to be thankful for, including your and Spooky's vacation coming up.

And since laughing is always good, I can very heartily recommend the new film The Muppets. I saw it last night, laughed a lot, and Kermit-flailed more than once. You'll likely like it.

Though we do plan to see The Muppets, laughing is horribly overrated.

Why so?

(John Scalzi could join the "really long time blogger" club - 1999, I believe?)

If he goes that far back, he beats me and Neil both.

As it should be.

Given the utter absence of objectivity in art, there's no other option.

This sounds like something Val Lewton should have filmed.

I think it has nothing to do with the readers, and everything to do with the characters. Time dilates, essentially, when the POV character is paying attention.

So you may gloss over the 45 minutes they spend on breakfast and ablutions without even acknowledging they happened, but that important conversation is detailed exactly.
