stakebaitConfession: I don't know what Slipstream is, and apparently it's dead already. I don't know what the New Weird is, either. (Did we have an Old Weird? 'Cause I missed that too.) I occasionally read stories that are classified as either, but I've yet to deduce what they have in common with each other that's different from the rest of SF and Associated Industries. I think I must be Movement-impaired. Anyone want to attempt a definition? I would be your best friend and bake you imaginary cookies.

So it would be a dumb idea to try and buy a brownstone in Brooklyn, right? I'd have to go further to work, and stop taking cabs, and I don't really need more space. I've just always wanted a brownstone. And I have this crazy idea that if I worked the numbers just right, I could live in one floor, rent out the rest for income, and stay home and write. Except for my lowering conviction that I would instead stay home and NOT write, just slump about the house in frowsy sweats and unwashed hair waiting for my friends to get home from work and play with me -- and then kvetch when they didn't want to come out to Brooklyn.
