Woolgathering day
I was up until 3:30am last night, being interviewed by Gardner
Dozois and cracking bad puns, so I'm slightly incoherent today.
At left is something I stumbled across on Warren Ellis's blog,
which in turn he scraped off Reverse Cowgirl. As
amputee wedding fashion shots are thin on the ground and I get
mean when I'm the only person in the house who's feeling
disturbed I figured I'd share it with you.
Meanwhile, I've been grovelling around
on the floor, disturbing five-year-old dustbunnies and
unwiring my study. The score so far: three repo'd mains
extension blocks with a total of 14 sockets, about ten metres
of obsolete thin ethernet cable, various strange odds and
ends, and an insanely rare soap-on-a-rope connection cable
with Macintosh serial plug for the no-longer-made Psion Series
3a palmtop.
In between fretting I've been reading "Tank", by Patrick Wright --
a social history of the main battle tank -- and was somewhat perturbed
to discover that Major General J. F. C. Fuller (tactical genius of
the Tank Corps during the First World War, inventor of blitzkrieg, and
sometime member of the British Union of Fascists) was also an acolyte
of Aleister Crowley before the war, an initiate of the Argentum Astrum,
and left behind in his papers the incomplete manuscript of a novel titled
"The Hidden Wisdom of the Illuminati".
If you put this sort of thing in a novel nobody would believe
you ...
