I took an improv class with Bob in 1985; he was sweet, acidic and very cute. I would've hit on him if I'd been gay then.

Oh, what a shame, they played in London recently - or maybe they're scheduled to play? Anyway, I have got some Embryo on my mp3 player, so can listen to them today - I'm at my mum's this weekend. RIP Christian.(xp)

I suppose I should feel guilty for it."

aw RIP Mary Lee Berners Lee and Bob Wakelin (only just seen that post)
as a child I studied the Rainbow Islands box art in great detail and decided that, since Taito was a Japanese company and the colourful big-eyed box art seemed vaguely like the Euro-Japanese coproduction cartoons imported to mid/late-80s CBBC for my daily viewing, the signed name "Wakelin" must clearly be Japanese, pronounced wa-ké-lin
it took many years to realise that this was quite a silly thought

All the times I linked to her blog saying m/l "you won't believe who's still around and still blogging", and now I can't believe she isn't.
Thanks for all the books (still so many more I haven't read, too), new ways of thinking for teenage me about fantasy and SF and gender - and the blog posts and cat pics too...
― a passing spacecadet, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 22:34 (eight years ago)
yeah, what a hero. earthsea books, with the amazing Tehanu reprise, were formative for me. Left Hand of Darkness and Lathe of Heaven also, later on. RIP. wonderful writer.
