It occurs to me that my garden would be perfect for aceofkittens. It's inhabited by snails, frogs and the neighborhood cats, and there's plenty of room at the bottom to grow potatoes in.

In other news, I found a used copy of McKillip's The Cygnet and the Firebird the other day; this is one of those cases where I far prefer the sequel to the original, so I was very pleased.

And now, as we still have sunshine, I might go enjoy it a little.

Yes, it would be perfect!! It would be! Oh happy! I want to come live there in your garden. I don't need a lot of space, either.

When can I move in?!!

I miss you!!!

In a week, we'll be on the same continent. On the same coast of the same continent. That's got to count for something!

Christ, I have a lot of packing to do!

Peculiar. I liked the first book much better than the second one. Had a heck a time finding a used copy of it too, but bought The Cygnet and the Firebird as a brand spanking new hardback. I've fallen behind on what McKillip's written the last couple of years. Wish she'd write something else like Fool's Run.

The Sorceress and the Cygnet confused me greatly, although I did like it. I picked up a used copy last spring (currently in a box in my parents basement) and re-read it and was still confused. Perhaps on a third read I'llo care enough to make sense of it.

McKillip isn't writing science fiction, if that's what you mean, but I have other thoughts on what she is writing here and here. If you care. Suddenly, I feel overly self-absorbed.
