HURRY UP, OCTOBER

The eagerly awaited sequel to Larklight has been delivered. Sinister mind-controlling hats are taking over the Solar System and it’s up to Art, Myrtle and Jack to stop them in this hilarious and utterly unique adventure from the tour de force of literary fantasy.

...

SINISTER MIND-CONTROLLING HATS? FUCK YES.

All of you who are as yet unwise to the joys of giant spiders, Victorian hijinks and SPACE PIRATES (not to mention the true and hilarious love of Captain Jack Havock and Miss Myrtle Mumby) should really do something about this unfortunate and profound gap in your world. Before October. ETA: My original flailing pimp-post is here.

And maybe I will write that fic about the wedding.

Before October.

look what I can do

Christ, my eyes, I am never volunteering to be the subject in a perception experiment ever again. (Actually, let the record show that I did not volunteer, but the other two people in my group have corrected vision and so they nominated me.) Three hours of fixating on a glob of blu-tac and indicating the orientation of stimuli in my periphery. And then an hour and a half of anatomy study. I have a real bugger of a headache.

Two hours until choir - looks like I'll be sitting here listening to a parasitology lecture recording and attempting to convince my eyeballs not to explode. Or melt. Or mutiny.

Unless anyone is around and wants to distract me or something. HINT HINT.
