Still haven't gotten my copy of The Willows. Not worried yet, but starting to miss it.
========
Spent most of yesterday reading up on quantum physics. I feel like the last panel of that Calvin and Hobbes strip; the one where Calvin's dad has explained that a point on the outside of the record completes the same number of revolutions as one closer to the center, but is actually moving much faster. And Calvin is just lying there, little icons of bafflement floating around his head.
========
Apparently the local magazine store won't be carrying Weird Tales (couldn't meet the distributor's minimum order); neither will my preferred comic book shop. A subscription is in order. (Probably the one that gets me H.P. Lovecraft's Magazine of Horror.)
(Jesus, was *everyplace* I'm moderately interested in mentioning the Dances of Vice festival? Some other year.)
========
Finished Old Man's War by John Scalzi (the fourth book (not counting one magazine) I've finished since the move; the commute to work is proving to have unexpected advantages). Very fast read, well-written. I can definitely see the Heinlein influence, although honestly I keep thinking more of Haldeman's The Forever War (given that I preferred that to Starship Troopers, this probably constitutes a compliment). Expect to read the sequel.
