This morning I mixed 2 scoops of Death Wish Chocolate Hazelnut Coffee with 3 scoops of Bohemian Blend from Dancing Goats Coffee. No doubt you will think me quite mad.

Sometimes your research for a folk horror story leads to some unusual folklore...

If you’re a film noir fan, you’ll love RIPLEY. The beautiful black-and-white cinematography, the slow-burn suspense, and the understated acting of the stars (especially Dakota Fanning as the suspicious girlfriend) make this an instant noir classic on the same level as Double Indemnity or The Maltese Falcon.

A big thunderstorm in the middle of the night woke up me and the cats. This morning I see that the storm took down several branches from the big tree outside my bedroom window.

Just sent a story to a magazine I really like. I hope they buy it! I've got 3 poems and several other stories and pitches out in the aether, looking for homes. This weekend in Savannah I was able to get quite a bit of done on another work-in-progress, a story that is turning out to be darker than I originally anticipated. It's happening!

I was awakened at 1:35 am by Leonidas the Cat, asleep in bed beside me, howling like a wolf in his sleep.

Now, this afternoon, he is acting like nothing happened.

I can tell that Guy the misses his brother Lenny. Guy usually sleeps on the sofa, but last night he stayed in bed, cuddled up beside me. This morning, when I put down his breakfast bowl, he looked over at the place where Lenny‘s bowl should be. Then he looked up at me and gave a very long and plaintive . I got down on the kitchen floor and told him how much I love him.

This is me, talking about how the version of “Maurice” by that read (and from which he borrowed several major plot points for his novel “Lady Chatterley’s Lover”) is not the final version of that we have today (and even that is not the final version, because Forster wrote an epilogue that he later excluded where Maurice and Alec run off and become lumberjacks together, proving that even stuffy academics in the era had lumberjack fantasies).

Leonidas decided I needed a cat on my coaster rather than a coffee cup.
