First of all: I have a new article up over at Strange Horizons. This one isn't quite as "general interest" as the Halloween article; the title is: "Strange Bedfellows: Eugenics, Attraction, and Aversion in the Works of Octavia E. Butler". So if you've never read any Butler . . . well, actually, if you've never read any Butler and would still like to read my article, I'd love to hear from you on what you thought. Of course, if you've read Butler and read this article, I'd like to know what you think of it - all opinions, comments, etc. are welcome. I suppose I should mention that there are spoilers for just about every series she's written, but I really don't think I'm going to ruin any of her books for you - I stay pretty focused on my topic and Butler's stuff is engrossing no matter what.

Ah, and the second thing was going to be a run-down of the weekend, but I'm running out of time this morning. Perhaps later. Have a good day!

Exercise log:

Lifted weights Friday -- back and biceps. Did some abs. On Saturday I danced: two waltzes and a "semi-sedate" polka at the Dickens Faire. Yesterday, I gardened -- trimmed the honeysuckle and Mexican sage back, pulled up stuff, planted bulbs.
