Em and I watched Moon (with Sam Rockwell) last night. It's a fantastic film. Great, true sci-fi. If you haven't, see it. Free play on Netflix right now. So, check it.
*
We also watched a documentary called "The Business of Being Born" about the state of birth in this country. It's eye-opening, and for me, pretty fucking emotional. Could be that Em and I are about to have a kid, but man, I'm telling you. There's something amazing about watching birth...maybe I just kept picturing what going down in October...OK. So, this isn't like in that fucking Health class, where you watch a birth, fucking Leone-close-up. No, this is different. I don't know. Check it if you like.

I'm trucking through The Story Thief. It's coming along. I'm over half-way with my minor revisions. Then I'll be sending it to some folks for some readings, as well as sending it out to a few publishers and agents.
*
I'm also working on revising When the Wolves Quit, and writing poetry. I'm on a roll in some regards, but the more I write, the more the project(s) build into something bigger than I expected. Don't you hate when that happens? Man, I'm done with fiction for a while (besides TST). I think I'm gonna finish a revision I'm working on, submit it, and get it out. I wanted to submit this story to Tin House, but they're doing a mysterious-submissions call (or something along those lines)...and I'm gonna end up sending in some stuff from Wolves. Hey, if you have something Mysterious...check out the sub. guidelines at Tin House.

I'm reading Lamb by Christopher Moore (It's about Jesus and his best friend Biff...it's rad so far).
I just finished With Deer by Aase Berg (a translation). It's rad, like RIGHT up my alley. Like seriously...like almost too much up my alley...
That's all for now. I should be posting on a blog called Master of Fine Eats soon. I'll put the link up when I post.
Later dudes and dudettes,
Joshua

1) Told you Moon was good.
2) Lamb sounds awesome.
3) The Miracle of Life video was so traumatizing at age 14 that it gave me a case of inverted penis which lasted for the rest of high school.
Dave, you would love Lamb. I mean I'm not that far in, but so far, you'd love it. And yes, you did tell me Moon was good, and I was gonna watch it, but I wasn't that stoked. Em really wanted to watch it, and I wanted to watch a bunch of other flicks, but half-way through she was like, "See I told you you would like it."
The miracle of life: Yes, for me too. But there was something about this flick that didn't do that to me.

Baaaaaaaaaabies. Gross.
Dude, my parents' house is like baby central right now. They now have two grandkids and are stoked. Commence the babyproofing! And yeah, Moon was totally sweet. Wish I had seen it when it was at the Pickford. Ah well.
