Hmm. This feels odd, this writing things down into a computer thing. Sadly, or not so sadly most likely, I have no pictures of echidnas I feel the need to post in order to placate my own mild obsessions. Nope, just a few sparse details and updates. What have I been listening to? Strangely, an awful lot of metal still. Of the Viking, Amon Amarth type, or to get really goofy, a french metal band called Gojira's album all about global warming and how all the whales are from outer space and can fly and maybe will be headed From Mars to Sirius? So it's been oscillating between brutal, heavy, gutturally sung music or not nearly so angry acoustic stuff, such as Fire on Fire . And for some reason the internets have been showing me a few metal oriented things today such as this and an article at the well regarded online publication that Lane is now an editorial assistant at, Strange Horizons. Oh, speaking of Lane and I also have a new nephew:
And here's Baker Cleveland Bowen with his folks and a mustachioed Pete visiting from the Czech Republic.
