Blurred Line

I tend to prattle on every now and again about how everyone should read short stories (well, come on, you should). Anyhow, I just wanted to bring to everyone's attention a holiday special being offered by Sybil's Garage. If you've never heard of it, Sybil's Garage is an amazing little mag (not only are the stories great, but it looks great, too), that's perfect for those of you who prefer their science fiction with a big helping of literary-ness instead of...umm...science-ness. Anyway, go buy a copy - with the special, issue #3 is five bucks, plus you get a free PDF download of issue #2.

Speaking of the holidays, I just have to bring up what my mother wants for Christmas. Stuff for the house? Nope. Clothes? Not even close. Cheap little trinkets that express true feelings of love? Well, getting warmer.

My Mom, for Christmas, sent me a questionnaire (along with an SASE, by the way - she'd fit right in here in the writing world). There's a lot of "favourite" questions on there, but the important ones have to do with stuff that happened during the year - what was my most embarassing moment, what was my biggest accomplishment, etc. Now, for those of you who don't know, my brother and I live in Ontario, while my Mom lives back in Alberta (for those of you in the States who don't know their Canadian geography, think New York to Montana). We talk about once a week, but only get to see each other once every two years or so. So, you know, get your Mom something nice for Christmas.

Maybe some Sybil's Garage?
