* RIP, John Neville, OBE (1925-2011). He was Sherlock Holmes in A Study in Terror, Baron Munchausen in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and the Well-Manicured Man in The X-Files, to name but a few of his many roles.

* In happier news, Smart Pop Books is running a new promotion: Sign up for Smart Pop's mailing list, and get free excerpts from Smart Pop books! Two of the books from which you can get excerpts are collections that include essays of mine, namely Nyx in the House of Night and Fringe Science.


Last but not least, given the season, this seemed appropriate!

Besides the autumn poets sing,
A few prosaic days
A little this side of the snow
And that side of the haze.

A few incisive mornings,
A few ascetic eves, -
Gone Mr. Bryant's golden-rod,
And Mr. Thomson's sheaves.
- Emily Dickinson, "Nature: XLIX"

That's what I love about Emily D. She tells it like it is!

So true!

Hello, m'dear! Since our friendship, this particular season and holiday have had such a different feel for me, and in fact, I don't celebrate it at all beyond a general sense of being thankful for my dear friends, unrelated to the history. In fact, I was watching The Daily Show from the 17th on my computer and have decided that commemorating Evacuation Day would be far more appropriate. :P

Appropriate indeed! :P I love it.
