Eric Recommends: "Vellum" by Hal Duncan




Vellum . The first part of Hal Duncan's epic about a battle between angels, demons, and everything in between. Gorgeously written and amazingly complex. You really have to pay close attention while reading as the story is told in a non-linear fashion, and characters are followed through different incarnations in time and space, from ancient times to WWI, from AI landscape to versions of themselves as literal fairies and sprites. It's one of the most interesting and intense books I've read in some time. I'd love to see some of his imagery on film, but there would be no way to film this and retain the spell it casts.

Why I Am a Disgusting Bitch

Prepare to GAG at how gross I am. Seriously. You will barf all over yourself and then delete me from your computer's history.

This is my cheat day food intake for today. I started the day off with TWO doughnuts. One cherry and the other was one of those big cinnamon rolls covered in chocolate chips. If I could find a bed-sized version I'd sleep on it. Then for lunch I had Chinese. And sushi! It wasn't even good sushi. It was lazy. It was lazy sushi.

Moving on, I thought, "Hey! There's a slice of cheesecake! YUMMMMM! Daddy wants!" And Daddy got.

When supper arrived I was all about an order of bread sticks and cheese from the local pizzeria, which, by the way, has AWESOME bread sticks! I mean, I would fuck myself with these bread sticks, but then that would be wasting them because I certainly wouldn't eat them after that.

Anyway, after the bread sticks I had me one of those GORGEOUS McDonald's Frappe things AND...yes, there's an AND... a sundae. Now, in my defense, I haven't had ice cream for over a year, not being a big ice cream fan, so I thought I'd treat myself.

I think I'm through eating. Did you see a single healthy thing in that entire catalogue? Me neither. It's a good thing I'm so strict with myself the rest of the week. If I ate this carefree all the time I would need a whole new wardrobe. And I is a poor poor boy, y'all!

Bitter Queens

Stole this image from the ever reliable Maybe it's just me... Charlize Theron looks so great as the evil queen. I remember Sigourney Weaver in this role as well. She acted the hell out of that film. Tore.it.up.

Madonna - You Must Love Me

Had me a Madonna Day. All Madonna, all day. This extremely touching ballad from 1996 and the film "Evita." It won the Oscar for Best Song that year.

Appropriate Poetry

Moonburn

In the bed
He and i
Tight < wrapped like the word
One hot
Faulkner night when
Crickets gave breathing lessons
Giving voice
To humidity

Bodies rushing red
Red and pink
Like porcupine readiness

The beautiful complexity
of being vague

everything rises
wet sweat glory under glow
flushed fevered hot
increasing the flow

increasing
and increasing
and increasing the likelihood of moonburn

by Eric Arvin, from my anthology Slight Details & Random Events
