Con crud.

DO NOT WANT.

The same applies to the house centipede lurking along the ceiling in the bedroom. Also to the doctor's appointment I have this afternoon. (Which is unrelated to the con crud. Checkup, Annual: see above re: Boring Health Problems.)

Therefore, if you have something good or interesting or fun you want to tell me about (this includes general burbling about Fourth Street, if a person felt like it), the comments to this post would be a superlatively appropriate place.



And I found something interesting on my own even! A nifty article about the intelligence of octopuses, via jaylake.

Also, dd_b's snapshots of Fourth Street.

Proof that on other days I'm smarter than I am today

Charles A. Tan did a short interview with me about The Bone Key to help promote the Shirley Jackson Awards. I believe he's interviewing all of the nominees.

There are also excerpts from my Locus interview online.

Jeff VanderMeer includes me in his list of his current favorite fantasists working in short form. Thank you, Jeff!
