who wants to write SF?

writing about pirates is not something i expect to be doing again anytime soon. in fact, i'm beginning to wonder what sort of thing i *really* want to be writing.

that story, reading M. John Harrison and my debate with zoneseek re: PKD over on his message board (currently dubbed Bookjunkies, but it's changed enough times that i'd expect anything) had me thinking a lot about the whole 'sci-fi/fantasy' vs. 'spec fic' thing over the weekend, what 'sci-fi' should do and why 'spec fic' seems iffy to me and all that thinking brought me to some rather unsavory, probably antiprogressive ideas on the genre that i thought i might talk about here.

only i don't really feel like getting into it right now.

so, instead, here's Brittany Murphy (and, er, Paul Oakenfold):

she scores points not just for actually being able to sing, but for being uber-hot in Sin City. and yes, i do dig the song.
