I picked up The Mammoth Book of Extreme Science Fiction at the Barnes and Noble in the marina before watching Lady in the Water last week. So far the stories have been great. I hope to someday write something as delightful as an alternate history caused by an impossible quirk of geometry that makes the pacific ifinitely large. Or possibly a story set SO far in the future that humanity has gained the power to stave off life destroying cosmic events... only to be thwarted when a component is stolen to be used as a doomsday weapon in a galactic war between divergent aspects of humanity. My mind is spinning from having read this stuff.

My mind is also spinning from having actually done some writing again this week. The particular concept I've been playing around with may not be either totally original or even interesting in and of itself, but it's most definitely one more arrow in my literary quiver.

all for now.
