Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

My LA interview is being rescheduled. I'll try to angle for the following weekend (Nov. 16th) but anybody holding their calendar or planning around it (Ple!) should hold off until I get the new date nailed down.

I will be in LA Nov 14-17, so I encourage you to angle for the following weekend. I promise to wear something lowcut :)

Didn't get the job I interviewed for yesterday - they thought I was "wonderful", but went with the person who had a smidge more technical skills. But! I have different interview on Thursday - 3 hours worth of a different interview! Eeeep!

I have a job interview tomorrow afternoon for a job I applied for in June. Any vibes would be appreciated, though I still have my current job which is fine. A change of boss would be nice though!

Just heard from my brother in Moscow. One of his coworker's daughters is among the hostages in the theatre that was overrun by (probably) Chechen terrorists the other night. Vibes please, for all involved.

I feel kinda shallow posting this after the last few messages in Beep me, but ...

I did *really* well on my interview today, and was told I'm the leading candidate for the position. They make a decision tomorrow, and Oh! am I hoping it's in my favor. Job vibes will be muchly appreciated!

New, fully poseable Author!Knut.

Hey, y'all. I'm alive. I just can't natter like I used to, back in the old days. Why, when I was young, we'd natter all night long, and all day on the weekends.

Oh, wait, that wasn't nattering.

My point, and I may or may not have one, is that I am thinking of you all, and watching television in solidarity with you all. But I am very busy with work and writing and trying to get a life. I will try to keep you all updated on that last bit.

If anyone is attending the World Fantasy Con next week, email me, 'cause I'll be there.

Hugs to all that need 'em, and gropes to the rest.

Love,

Knut

Ann, that's a ferret.

Are there any Buffistas in the Miami, FL area up for a F2F early in the evening on Monday, 11/11?

I'll be in town that night on a short business trip and can meet.
