4th Street Fantasy, writing update and sundries

[catherineldf]

Last week's adventures included going to the MN Orchestra for a Pride concert featuring classical music by queer composers (quite good), going to see acclaimed Kenyan lesbian romance file Rafiki at the MPS Film Society (still there for a few more days), one 14 hour work day at the day job, seeing Captain Marvel a second time (it still rocks), going to the Midtown Farmer's Market and Rain Taxi's Print Matters mini book fest, and catching the visually striking The Vikings Begin show at the American Swedish Institute. Also, several migraines, one mangled knee, a completed short story submitted for American Monsters: Volume 2 (really hoping this one gets accepted!), work of various kinds on Queen of Swords Press and my new forthcoming collection, Unfinished Business: Tales of the Dark Fantastic and planting edible things in the yard. The latter include cherry tomatoes, chives, more raspberry bushes, a service berry bush and kale.

This week is the beginnings of furnace replacement, including asbestos abatement and the breaking up of the old furnace. Next week is removal of the old furnace and installation of the new one.

In between those is 4th Street Fantasy, which I'll be at this weekend. I'll be on the "Monster Mash and Smash" panel on Saturday at 2PM and otherwise hanging out a bit on Friday night and all day Saturday. Sunday will likely have to be a "catch up on other things" day, but we'll see how that goes. And now back to work.
