New Alienskin is online, and I'm late!
The new Alienskin mag has been up for a while, and I have been remiss in not mentioning this before. I blame the weather. There really hasn't been much of it lately. At this time of year, the skies over Dume Swamp are light-grey all night, and the rain has been sparse, lightning nonexistent. It is a most mediocre time of year. It never gets properly dark and my eyes are starting to hurt from overuse.
I rubbed them with liniment so I could read the second part of Sergeant Shelsky's UFO article and... argh! There's a part three! Part two is complete in itself but I want it all in one piece. Part two is very interesting indeed though. Well worth a read.
Lady Blade has an article about fantasy women. If your wife asks what you're reading, never, ever say 'a website about fantasy women' unless you're the type who enjoys being pinned down, having a funnel stuck in your ear and your head filled with bleach. It smarts for hours. The mind bleach never works but it's best to pretend it does, or she might move on to the wire brush and power drill. Oh, and best not get caught looking at Lady Blade's picture either. That can be painful too.
My own efforts concern the zombies, a subject I return to once in a while because, well, I like zombies. They never speak and they never attempt to fill your head with anything. Quite the reverse, in fact.
Now, I intend to darken the room as best I can against the terrible glow of the night sky, and read some of the stories.
Perhaps I should wear dark glasses too, in case of accidental brightness.
