Last night took it out of me

[cornerofmadness]

Just as I was getting ready to go to bed at 130 AM the storm did something that scared me. You know how your lights flicker off and on because the power lines are galloping? It did it for about three minutes before failing. I was afraid something might have overloaded and caught fire (it didn't). Now it's too hot to sleep but raining too hard to open a window and my blood sugar is being stupid so I have to pee 4 times between bed time and 6 AM when the power finally turns on.

I said today can you believe it was the last week of class and several said 'thank god.' I know the feeling but on the other hand it stings.

my Indian cowoker brought in a curried egg dish and coconut rice filled with cardamon and cinnamon and so I had to have elevensies. I don't make the rules.

I came home to one story rejection but also one story accepted so I'm taking that as a win.


I'm too exhausted to think of anything for Tuesday's fannish 50. I am looking for thoughts, thinking of doing yet another con panel at a pop culture. I was thinking about the history of women writing horror. Would that be interesting? Maybe link it up with women mangaka/animators because surely there have to be some.

"You Will Hear The Voice Of The Dead" by Sachiko Uguisu & "Mieruko-Chan" by Tomoko Izumi (neither of them have I read/watched though, they're just suggestions)

[cornerofmadness]

thanks. I don't know either

[suzume]

Ha ha, yeah, me either. ^_^;

When I think of horror manga I generally just think "oh, Junji Ito."

[cornerofmadness]

Yes and while he'd have to be included I don't want to linger. It's a bit male gaze oriented

[suzume]

Yeah, I agree with you.

So it's not my favorite but he is prolific
