Oh hey, it's September. This is your reminder to locate your copy of A Night in the Lonesome October for next month. And if you don't have one, clock's ticking... Zelazny's last book, each chapter is a day, and I always like to read it that way. Also, it's narrated by a dog, what else do you need?
Jon (@phyrkrakr.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh! And it's September now! I need to figure out where I put my copy of A Night in the Lonesome October so that I'm ready for next month!
Jon (@phyrkrakr.bsky.social) reply parent
Man, I still love that book. I need to reread it and the Chronicles of Amber again

What was Oi in the DARK TOWER books? I can't remember if he was a real animal or a fantasy animal

Lol, Guy Pearce playing Merry AND Pippin at the same time. But not like one of those Peter Sellers movies where he changes makeup for different characters, just looking the same the whole time for both parts

Man, De Havilland really didn't build a bad plane, did they?

Yeah, we got a roomette on the Empire Builder last year to Portland OR and it included three squares a day. Damn tasty, too Scalzi's not wrong about the length, tho. We just treated it as part of the vacation though. I packed a bunch of books and watched the scenery from the observation car

That does raise a question though. If I buy a tin of anchovies/sardines/herring, what do I do with them? Like, is that something that needs to be cooked, or is it already cured/can be eaten raw, like canned tuna?
