Bloody Bookslam Jam

[dotinthesky]

I've made a bet with Kevin: whoever gets a short story published first this year wins a book from the other one. He has been gentlemanly enough to send me a link to a Canadian Horror Story submission request. But I don't think I write horror anymore: nobody is horrified enough.

I quit sugar yesterday. Then I had a dream with a lollypop. How Freudian?

Bookslam event at the Cherry Jam tonight. Last time I went there, years ago, I saw Franz Ferdinand perform (when they were still unsigned). The theme for tonight seems to be afro-latino literature, with DJs in the mix. Not my cup of tea but I'm up for it.

1. Yep, you got a point. People nowadays are not scared for anything... I'm not scared for anything. Besides mirror-me, of course.
2. Ollie, you did quit sugar. That lollypop was sugar-free :)
3. Love FF.
4. I'll quit numbers on my comments, they're actually annoying me.
