Jonathan Strahan has taken "Mongoose" as well plus Pat Cadigan's "Truth and Bone" from Poe

Bad movies! and one great one.
Aighhhh. I watched two awful movies last night: Elephant Walk with Elizabeth Taylor, Peter Finch, and Dana Andrews.

And....I have a kitten!
Not the one from Kittykind-ahem--for some weird reason they rejected me without even having called my references....very strange.
But Ellie and I went to BARC, a shelter in Brooklyn and I found a very sweet, little girl tabby with some white on her--four white paws, and some white on her face (not as much as her sister). She's adventurous--exploring the kitchen as soon as I took her out of the box. She likes playing and loves the laser pointer (something she has in common with Bella--once the...
