Whedonistas: much more interesting than my screwed up neurology
Last night was Lovecraftian: unspeakable, abyssal, and possibly squamous. Maybe batrachian. Not so much with the eldritch, though.
The RLS teamed up with my insomnia, so I was uselessly awake until four. I hate the fact that all the drugs and supplements and everything else have really been able to do is make the RLS unpredictable. So I don't have it every night--which is great, don't get me wrong. That part I have no quarrel with. But when I do get it, I have no idea why. Why last night? Why not Saturday night? Or last Thursday night?
*ahem* Obviously, I'm just a tad bit cranky today. Move along, nothing to see here. We are a hedge.
And, in fact, I have something shiny and distracting to offer:
Mad Norwegian Press has announced the full list of contributors and the table of contents for Whedonistas, which is slated for publication March 15, 2011. My essay, "The Kindness of Monsters," is about the struggle of monsters in Whedon's various worlds to learn to be human, and why the finale of Angel made me cry.
(If you'd rather not deal with a .pdf, the table of contents is here below the cut:

Lots of cool women, including![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
coffeeem, matociquala, yuki_onna, rm, priscellie, seanan_mcguire (whose essay is online here at Tor.com), and many others whose LJ handles I do not know.* And, ne plus ultra, rarelylynne.)
I, personally, am geeked beyond words about the Juliet Landau interview.
