Comments, kittens?

Only about five hours sleep last night. It's not the way I meant to begin the new year.

So, finally, a list of my favorite films of 2012. All but Cloud Atlas appear on the list in a more or less random order. I have placed Cloud Atlas at the top because, I believe, it genuinely is the best and most important film of 2012:

Here's to 2013 being what you need both personally and professionally. I'm looking forward to more new work from you (and K Tierney).

Listening here.

I'm still hand-selling THE DROWNING GIRL to a slice of those who cross my bookstore threshold. My numbers may seem miniscule compared to the megastores and the online retailers, but they're part of the picture regardless.

I want financial success for you, and will keep doing my part in getting it for you.

I also enjoyed JOHN CARTER all out of proportion to the critical reception. We couldn't get out to LM, but Santa brought the DVD of the 10th Anniversary Dream Cast, and that was a joy to see again.

You mentioned something a bit back about getting some drawings up and out there. I have a couple extra copies of the signed/limited of CONFESSIONS OF A FIVE-CHAMBERED HEART that need a little plussing; any interest in a small joint eBay project?

In turn, as always, I appreciate your brutal honesty, Aunt Beast. And offer my hope that many things in 2013 are less of a trial for all of us. In the spirit of your musings on the subject: we don't have to be happy but it would be nice if we could be a tad less miserable.

There's always a siren

the temptations and the distractions that veer us off course are many, we need to cover our ears and trust our lodestones and stars.
