And speaking of movies…

On Saturday, the lovely photog and my chum C. and I went to go see the delightful movie, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.

I cannot recommend this movie more highly. It’s a sweet, intelligent movie, that glitters and sparkles like the gewgaws in a raven’s baffled nest, as well as having a wicked sense of humor. This is probably the best movie I’ve seen so far this year.

Go. See.

Genre and its red-headed step-children

I cannot recommend The Mumpsimus strongly enough. Back there he’s all about writing about genre and its related problems (opportunities). This dovetails nicely with that Lethem link from yesterday and also a conversation that i and I are having over at the squublog, where he also linked to some (loosely) genre-related otherwritings. It’s funny how these serendipitous things turn up.

(Squuby and I seem to have this strange habit of reading the same books at around the same time. We don’t coordinate; it seems to be a random thing. And some of the books are quite obscure… It’s a funny thing. I think THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHTTIME makes number 5.)
