leahbobetA lot of my days are spent revising things right now (well, the parts that aren't spent working the Dayjob). Yesterday was primarily devoted to revising a new episode of Shadow Unit, which debuts next week, I think; the default position is revising Above.
Today, though, was Word on the Street.
It was a really good day for it: sunny and cool and bright. The whole thing felt a little smaller than last year, and my haul was proportionally smaller:
Words Written Backwards, Gemma Files
Temporary Monsters and The Ash Angels, Ian Rogers
Greentopia: Towards a Sustainable Toronto, Alana Wilcox, Christina Palassio, and Jonny Dovercourt, eds.
HTO: Toronto's Water from Lake Iroquois to Lost Rivers to Low-flow Toilets, Wayne Reeves and Christina Palassio, eds.
Your Secrets Sleep With Me, Darren O'Donnell
Stroll: Psychogeographic Walking Tours of Toronto, Shawn Micallef
Witness to a City, David Miller and Douglas Arrowsmith
Those last two are signed. The mayor of Toronto said I have a lovely smile while he signed my book. Squee.
Saw a lot of the usual crowd: the CZP peoples, Merril peoples, Stephen Geigen-Miller and Greg Beettam,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cszego, delta_november, davidnickle, Claude Lalumiere, Madeline Ashby, horror writers, etc. and et al. I stayed most of the afternoon, and walked home as it was starting to cloud over.
Tonight has been for using up the farmshare. The radio's on, there are cabbage rolls in the oven and potato-leek soup on the stove, and the rest will go into some red curry tomorrow. Dr. My Roommate has made cranberry-honey sauce and beef stew. We're chipping away at a bottle of apple cider.
I went outside earlier to take out the (massive quantities of) organic waste and recycle that happen when we get into cooking fits, and there's the smallest bite of winter in the air.
I think I'll leave it there. There's a massive satisfaction to the sharpness of that smell, and the double handful of leaves already underfoot.
