Hello, spooky season! Pub day for The Cold House: 7 October, a respectable stop on the way to Halloween.

Pre-order physical manifestation, ebook and/or audiobook titanbooks.com/72446-the-co... Oz, we get a paperback first (lend this one with glee), then hardcover later (don't lend).

As proofreader for @lightspeedmagazine.com I get a sneak peak at what's coming up next month. You really don't want to miss @mcflycahill90.bsky.social 's "At the Bottom of the Bonfire." Heartbreaking and thought-provoking and beautifully crafted and disturbing.

And started the movie portion of the challenge with seeing Jaws on the big screen over Labor Day weekend (50th anniversary re-release, so 1975 is covered). Which had inspired me to reread the novel for the first time since high school.

I started two weeks ago with rereading Philip Jose Farmer's Time's Last Gift (my favorite time travel novel, although not my favorite Farmer book), which was first published in 1972.

Only hard rule: no repeating authors or directors across multiple years.

I started a little project 2 weeks ago as a way to celebrate turning 60 next year: read 1 book published in, and watch 1 movie first released in, each year since I was born. I'm allowing myself a mix of rereads/rewatches and stuff I've never seen or read before.

And yeah, I could again in an hour, but driving for 8 hours today has drained me. At least I stopped several times on the way and did 1 mile worth of walking at each rest area.

Oh yes I will be writing an essay about how the SNW episode “Four and a Half Vulcans” is wildly offensive and normalizing race science that was mainstream and popular in United States in the 1850s

Like Disco called this shit terrorism

What the fuck is this regressive bullshit

Proof I'm not the same person I was 6 months ago: I'm actually annoyed that my hotel only has 1 working treadmill and it's occupied.

(Yes, I could get on the Peleton bike, but I'm not a cycler, I'm a walker.)

My colon cancer diagnosis was 20 years ago today, which means I'm almost 20 years cancer-free.

That time has flown by. But today always makes me think of the loved ones who had the same cancer I did, and didn't survive it. I kiss my cousin Frank and my friend Jay every day.

Apparently today is National Read A Book Day. Or as we call it in my house, A Day Ending In Y.
