Let me go down in the mud/when the river has run dry

[hawkwing_lb]

Elizabeth Bear's Worldwired arrived Friday. Cue dancing. Brilliant. Brilliant. Will say more when coherent.

Narnia. Haven't read the books in years; have only vague memory. My mother never read them at all. Consensus verdict: brilliant. Sheer brilliant. And Tilda Swinton is the White Witch. And Aslan sounds not-quite what I would have hoped when voiced by Liam Neeson. I want to see it again.

Further thoughts when actually coherent. I have the Nasty, Annoying Sick, and it is after midnight.
