Cloudy and chilly here, overcast. No sun again. Currently, it's 53˚F, with the windchill at 51˚F. By my reckoning (and that of the Farmer's Almanac, since 1818) today is the first day of spring. I do not wait on the Vernal Equinox. So, since we are in Rhode Island, this means today is the beginning of Cold Spring.
Yesterday was a falling down day. I'm not going to list all the reasons why. There's nothing new there. But it meant I didn't write. I spent three hours working on a jigsaw puzzle of Claude Monet's La Japonaise (1876). At the kitchen sink, I washed the rest of the Murray's Superior pomade out of my hair; grease-cutting dish-washing detergent was required. I took Klonopin and dozed, trying to shut out the noise behind my eyes. I watched TV. Spooky got dinner from Pizzaria Gusto on Broadway. I ate. I endured the night until I was finally able to go to sleep about 2:30 a.m.
Today, I have to get back to work on "Untitled Psychiatrist #2," as the digest is now officially late.
If you've not yet purchased a copy of Agents of Dreamland, I ask that you do so today. Or purchase a second and send it to a friend or family member. At the moment, it's ranked 6,967th in books on Amazon. I hope it goes higher. And I have some Agents of Dreamland links:
~ A review at New York Review of Books by Barry Lee Dejasu
~ A review at Tor.com by Brit Mandelo, "On the Cosmic Scale: Agents of Dreamland by Caitlín R. Kiernan"
~ Another piece at Tor.com, discussing both Agents of Dreamland and Kij Johnson's The Dream-Quest of Vellitt Boe, "Sleeps With Monsters: Lovecraftian Cruelty and Kindness" by Liz Bourke"
And that's all I have for now. Please feel free to comment on the book here.
Also, please have a look at the current eBay auctions.
Resistance, Peace, and Compassion,
Aunt Beast

Hair product. Is tricky stuff. I have my pixie short haircut at long last, my Judi Dench hair, and it must be struggled with daily. Someday, I will crack the code.
Your post is marked 11:16 am, and it's only 10:27 am here in metro Detroit. Are you elsewhere in the time continuum, or is LJ somehow mid-Atlantic? I am voting for the shifty time.
It follows the time on my computer, which is always set to Daylight Savings Time. I've lived on DST since 2003.
Yes, I have a Kindle, and I love it, but there is nothing like a physical book, weighing down my handbag, sitting on my muffin top/book holder as I squint through my reading glasses.
thank you.
Congratulations on evicting the rest of the Murray's!
