Not quite mid-week ramble...
Jan. 12th, 2010 11:57 amWe did catch The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus the other night. I found it to be an amazing mess and not in a good way. It's basically the same storyline as Gilliam's Baron Munchausen, which I enjoyed, but minus the charming points and moments of coherence of the later. The humor in Imaginarium attempts to be Pythonesque but ends up running the gamut from coming across as racist and transphobic to just plain pointless. And it goes on...and on...and on. Not recommended.
Got my contrib copies of Best New Erotica Volume 9 yesterday. Edit Maxim Jakubowski picked my story "Just Another Girl on the Train" from Dirty Girls for this one. The volume is the usual allstar lineup; he always gets an interesting range of stories.
John Rezmerski, poet extraordinaire, will be reading his work at DreamHaven Books and Comics on 38th Street in Minneapolis on Friday, Jan. 15 at 6:30. This is highly recommended (and not just because he officiated at our wedding). Rez writes terrific poetry, much of it sf/f themed and he's always fun to listen to.
Almost done with the drafts for the new anthology call and will announce that officially soon. I also finished the draft of my wedding post, due next week and have been poking at both Silver Moon and ongoing fiction. Hoping to get in a big burst of writing energy over the upcoming three day weekend. In the meantime, mostly wishing I hurt less and that day job was less hectic, but can't have everything I suppose.
