9:48 am	Aaaand in other news: My Angry Steampunk Story is Back in Print I was pretty grateful to have my Hallowe'en themed steampunk story "Autumn Jitters" selected for the current "Best of" volume of speculative fiction stories from Raven Electrick Ink. Spec-Tacular: Fantasy Favorites is now out for all you kindle readers. And you don't have to have a kindle to read it. There are plenty of apps available to read these items on your computer, phone and other electronic devices. Here's the original press release (with a few shout outs): Spec-tacular: Fantasy Favorites from Raven Electrick Ink showcases the fiction and poetry of 26 authors who have imagined the future of sports and games, the past of motion pictures, the alternatives to history, and the myths and legends of Halloween. From sleuthing in the realm of the Pumpkin King, to sailboarding at the universe's edge, from searching for submarine ghosts, to streaming the end of the world, Spec-tacular focuses a speculative lens on our popular preoccupations and pastimes. This selection of editor and reviewer favorites from the sf, fantasy, and horror anthologies Sporty Spec (featuring a moving piece by Adam Nakama), Cinema Spec (featuring one of my stories), Retro Spec, and Jack-o'-Spec (featuring both Jason Ridler and myself) features the work of Paul Abbamondi, J. S. Bangs, Paul L. Bates, Greg Beatty, Robert Borski, Bruce Boston, Sarah Brandel, G. O. Clark, Neil Coghlan, Shannon Connor Winward, Lyn C. A. Gardner, Jude-Marie Green, Samantha Henderson, Michael M. Jones, Deborah P. Kolodji, Lisa Morton, E. C. Myers, Gregory L. Norris, Tony Pi, Daniel R. Robichaud II, Brian Rosenberger, Marge Simon, Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy, Marcie Lynn Tentchoff, Todd Wheeler, and Cliff Winnig. This entry was originally posted at http://dark-towhead/dreamwidth.org.

9:22 am	For Fans of Astronomy and . . . Justin Timberlake? While I'm not quite a fan of JT, I do like the song "SexyBack". Mostly because I'm silly. If you're unfamiliar with the song, here's a video: Whether you like the song or not, today's shirtwoot is amazing. Change the lyrics, and my heart sings for joy, joy, joy! Since I have no idea how long it'll stay up, let me ( Put the lyrics here for posterity. ) This entry was originally posted at http://dark-towhead/dreamwidth.org. Please comment there or here.

Originally posted by ragdoll at LJ: Scrapbook Changes I'm just going to put out this PSA: Livejournal Scrapbook is going away and will be replaced by the mysterious "Photo Album". Your 10GB of Paid Member space is now 2GB. If you care, there is an explanation in Russian on the Russian news page. There's also a user-submitted translation. + You will no longer have access to your Scrapbook once this goes live. + Your images will redirect to Photo Album, but the URL will be different. + Friends-only and custom security settings will default to private and have to be changed back manually. + Unable to tell what will happen to any photos you have that put you over the 2GB limit. + Back up your Scrapbook just in case. + If you want your photos transferred over now instead of waiting, let them know here.

7:13 pm	When the Thrill Goes Confession time: I'm not a huge sf/f fan anymore. Not huge on horror, either. Not huge on any particular genre. I'm part owner of at least three tons of books, and a lot of them fall into category fiction genres, but I don't feel particular allegiances, anymore. I used to, though. Time has changed my outlook. I'm not likely to pick up a book that's labeled horror or sf or mystery just because it bears those labels. I'm also not likely to pick up a mainstream work simply because it's "not genre." I have no particular hatred for genre works, I just choose to fill my reading time with things that are worthwhile. I have to actually be interested in the material, the author's style or other things if I'm going to invest the time to read. My time is hella more valuable now that it's in limited supply (thank you, year of the jobs). There used to be a time when I would finish whatever I started reading, even if it wasn't particularly interesting much less rewarding. I had this goal, this need to triumph over puerile fiction. "It won't beat me, dammit!" I watched crummy shows just to have a sense of completion. Now, I prefer not to. Does this mean I'm a grumpy grown up?
