ateolfYesterday wrapped up the nice super-long holiday weekend. We also happened to wrap up eating all the Thanksgiving food as well. So job well done, us. At night we broke out Snow Tails for the first time. It's a board game based on the Iditarod. It was fun and like many games, seems complicated at first but then when you get into it, it isn't. Then after that we did watch Je Tu Il Elle and it was really good. The first part where it's all in one small room was probably my favorite but I liked all of it.
Mary Beth also read to me a story from a speculative fiction anthology and she also read me another one the other day. I don't know what they were but I'm making a note that I should look that up to mark down for posterity 'cuz they were good. Also I forgot to mention how we were outside looking at the sky on Saturday night and it was cloudy but the moon shone through the clouds. But then we could see this giant corona taking up about a quarter of the sky, it was a faint circle of light encircling the moon but with a huge radius. I don't think I'd ever seen anything like it before and it was cool to see.

Hm. (That one stumbled in my lap which is part of why I might be wary; it's as if someone heard my felt-lonely Picard rants and either wants to help me or pigeonhole-punish me, Idon'tknowwhat)
And Tristan's anthology of trans and genderqueer erotica (both by and for) definitely made my holiday season much better. Felt vaguely like a (temporary?) homecoming back to old comfortable friends. Tbh feels good to revisit the kind of reader I felt like vividly pre-Memphis and whatever else.
