Last night I had dinner at Planet Hollywood before the festivities with Gardner and Susan, Michael Swanwick, Gordon Van Gelder, Rick Bowes,and Ricky Kagan (who we picked up in the lobby since he was there early). The music was awful and loud, the food ok. After going up and down several times ...

I did it I did it. Yesterday I went to Best Buy and bought the Sony e-reader (pocket edition). That's the one I bought because it's the only e-reader (so far) that will (I hope) download word files from my computer instantaneously. I knew that I wasn't ready to open the package yesterday, being ...

I think this came in as a google alert while I was in San Jose so I forgot to post it. It's a very nice review of Best Horror of the Year, volume one from Innsmouth Free Press. Thanks Adam, for reminding me).

Last night was KGB with Sarah Micklem and Alisa Kwitney (the latter, Bob Sheckley's daughter, someone I've known since she was 14 --although I can't remember, she says we met then). Both readers were excellent and the audience was appreciative--photos as soon as I get a few last ids sorted. I'll ...

Yes; I'm still in Florida with my folks. Not doing much but hanging out, going out to meals and reading for Best Horror #2. Helped my mom get onto facebook, which means I need to be discreet (hi mom!) in case she actually reads it. The dial up is better than previously. I hope that by the time ...

(not really, but going to Florida to see the folks, where it's still summer but the internet connection (dial up) sucks. So no messages please. Back online the 18th.)

I was too sick to watch movies last night but did so tonight. Kathryn Bigelow's Point Break with Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, and Gary Busey. About 15 minutes too long, some gorgeous shots of surfing, interesting (but someone predictable) plot. It was not a bad way to spend almost two hours. ...

Today, after sleeping on and off for 1 1/2 days, I woke up feeling almost human. I don't believe it was any kind of flu just a really awful, fast-moving cold. I'm still coughing (trying to get up the stuff that's too far down for comfort)and it hurts every time I cough--ribs, etc caused BY the ...

within hours of returning home I was hit smack bang with a hacking(cough), sneezing, nose running cold. At least that's what I'm assuming as I've got no temperature or aches and pains or nausea, etc. I hope I didn't give it to the Locus crowd, with whom I visited Tuesday (no symptoms then)... I ...
