Wow!
Mr. Leckie walked in the door and I said, "They found the rest of Metropolis!"

And he stopped in his tracks, and said, "What?" And I said it again and he swore.

Metropolis is our Christmas tradition. We have several versions of it. The fairly recent restoration? Is lovely, they did a lot of work on it. And I actually like Moroder's. Please tell me there's going to be an edition with the newly discovered stuff restored!

They found the rest of Metropolis! Holy crap!

And speaking of holy crap. Surf over to Helix and check out Vylar Kaftan's "Breaking the Vessel."

Vy read the first half as part of a group reading at Wiscon. (The other readers were the awesome Rachel Swirsky, M K Hobson, and Jennifer Pelland.) I have been waiting for July 1 to come so I could read the whole darn story. Go, read it! There are also great stories by Tina Connoly, Samantha Henderson, Ruth Nestvold, and Jennifer Pelland, and poetry by Ada Milenkovic Brown and Jane Yolen.

Go! Read!

Thanks for the compliment! I hope the end of "Break the Vessel" satisfies you after your wait. :)

End included, that story is just made of awesome. And also of poop. Which is its own kind of awesomeness--an awesome story about poop!

I was sitting in Conference Room 2 thinking, "Of course, that's totally logical. A god in a human body has to poop, and so of course...why the hell didn't that ever occur to me, in all my pondering about gods? Because I am not Vylar Kaftan, that's why. Wow, this rocks!"

Holy crap! That, and a director's cut of Dark City? What a great time to be a film geek!
