rozk tells us they're killing queers in Iraq.
More happily, though, I got to talk to Roz -in-London on Skype that night. I'm a Skype near-virgin, and had that Near Tech Experience unaparalleled since Mr. Graham wanted Mr. Watson. OMIGOD!!! I shrieked to Delia. IT'S ROZ! HER VOICE IS COMING OUT OF MY COMPUTER!
It was a thrill, I can tell you. Especially as it was sitting on my lap.

The August edition of Mythic Passages is just out and you'll love it: art by Charles Vess, articles by Phil Cousineau (Pilgrimage), Terri Windling (Cinderella), Brenda Sutton (Mt Fuji), Wm. Doty (Neil Gaiman's "1602"), Thomas Fortson ("Trading the Center of the World:Dante's Inferno
and the Underworld Journey of September 11th"), etc ad gloriam.
For anyone who has ever wondered why packing to move is quite as bad as it really is, I recommend my wonderful Cousin Els' lateset, Notes from the Malevolent Heart of Packing, including such pearls (and commentary on them) as "1) IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PACK AND LIVE AT THE SAME TIME." and "4) PACKING IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO PREDICT WHAT YOUR LIFE WILL BE LIKE AFTER YOUR MOVE. WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS YOU ARE PSYCHIC."
(If anyone has a library job in Vancouver they'd like to offer her, please do! Also, check out her kidlit reviewzine, bookbookbook.)
