*MAD LOVE* Act One of Doctor Horrible is live here.
I am learning that first song to sing to random strangers at WorldCon.
"Here I go, mumbling..."
And now, in a total moment of WTF, Lis? I have the lyrics to the Freeze Ray song all typed out:
This is the one I'd get.
Wait. I need one for WorldCon, right? RIGHT???

Google search for "Steampunk chandelier" yielded this:
Absolutely gorgeous. This Cirque du Soleil piece's theme is "Dreams of a Dying Clown". There were angels on wires and enormous helium balloons and a floating bicycle and! and! and!
The costumes... aaaaaaargle. *covet*
It was so good that the three-year-old was transfixed for the better part of a two hour show. Doesn't that just say it all?
Go. Go if you have the chance.
For... um... research purposes.
And a trip on the Titanic. Fer shure.

The Fantasy Magazine site is built around a showcase of original fiction by newer authors like Lisa Mantchev and Kelly Barnhill. The 'zine has an active book-review team, which includes some very seasoned readers indeed: Paula Guran, Victoria Strauss and Rich Horton, to name three. Tucked in among the stories and reviews are artist profiles, author and editor interviews and a lengthy round-table discussion about people of color in fantastic literature. New material is posted to the Web page on an almost daily basis, encouraging faithful readers either to check back regularly or to subscribe to the RSS feed.
That is just made of shiny, right there...
The Curtain Goes Up Spring of 2009.
Girls in beauty pageants are sometimes maligned for not having enough brains. But this year, the Phoenix Comicon is holding its inaugural Miss Zombie Beauty pageant, where the contestants are the types who like brains so much, they want to eat yours! WEIRD TALES is proud to sponsor this luscious parade of decomposing pulchritude. The two runners-up, Miss Pathogenic and Miss Congeal-iality, will each receive a copy of Weird Tales: The 21st Century, Vol. 1 and a year’s free subscription to the magazine — but that’s just the beginning! The winning Miss Zombie Beauty herself will be awarded a truly unique prize: a one-of-a-kind, handmade, zombified WEIRD TALES edition called Zombie Love, designed and created by Patricia Lee of Bookwyrms Art, and collecting Lisa Mantchev’s “Zombi” and Trent Hergenrader’s “Working Out Our Salvation” from issue #344.
Never before has there been such a WEIRD TALES artifact! Stay tuned to WeirdTalesMagazine.com for next week’s announcement of the newly crowned undead queen…
The lyrics to "Falling Slowly" are so beautiful, they hurt me. In a good way. I promise.
Edit to add: "If You Want Me" will also be in regular rotation until further notice.
I would love to get a box of stardust.
That said,

Many thanks to the people already linking to the story (Warren, this means you... your naked dancing girls are en route.)
With any luck, the end of this weekend will see our halls and tree decked, a short story made over and a new one outlined. Then back to the novel edits.
