    Ethical Aspects of Animal Husbandry
    by Craig Terlson

    A collection of short stories where the humour runs dark and the slipstream bubbles up.

     

    ...imagine if Raymond Carver called up George Saunders and Joe Lansdale, and they all went drinking with Neil Gaiman.

    “… it's clear that Terlson is way ahead of the curve in terms of crafting an engaging premise that reaches for elevated territory and reinvents enduring archetypes of action and suspense.”  J. Schoenfelder


    "Sometimes brutal, often demanding and always complex, this novel will repay the reader who likes their assumptions challenged and is happy to walk away from a book with minor questions unanswered but the big ones definitely dealt with! It’s likely to satisfy those who enjoy Hammet and/or Philip K Dick and who like their fiction very noir indeed."   Kay Sexton

     

    "I love a novel that you can't put down, and this is one of them."  L. Cihlar

Get out my gown!

Time for the Oscars, and my annual picks. Now, I do admit, I have one the pool the last three years in a row - much to the grumpy chagrins of my fellow party goers. And I enjoy the coffee money, and the 15 minutes of fame.

But will this be the year for a four-pete? Quad-pete? Forpete?

We will see.

Here's my picks as I recall them - 

 

Best Pic: Argo 

Director: Spielberg

Actor: Day Lewis (duh)

Actress: Lawrence (double-duh)

Supporting Actor: Tommy Lee Jones (this one is tight, Waltz might get it)

Supporting Actress: Hathaway (triple-duh... seems like there are a lot of faves this year)

Adapted Screenplay: Argo

Original Screenplay: Tarantino for Django (but Moonrise Kingdom should have got it)

Film Editing: Argo (I actually really like this category - best pic often wins it, too)

Foreign: Amour (I mean, what else)

Animated: Wreck-it-Ralph (tough to call - could be Brave, but I liked Ralph better)

The guess categories:

Documentary Long: Sugarman (heard it is amazing... still have not seen it)

Doc Short: Open Heart (a guess... with help of Huffington post, I admit)

Cinematography: Life of Pi

Soundrack: Pi

Song: Skyfall (pretty cool song by that Adele woman... I heard she is good)

Short Film Animated: Paperman (only one I saw)

Short Film Live: Curfew (total guess - but help from Huffington)

Production Design: Les Mis

Costume: Anna Karenina

Makeup - Hobbit

Special Effects - Pi

Sound Mixing - Les Mis

Sound Editing - Argo

 

So tune in tomorrow - I'll let you know how I did. Most of my guesses go along with Huffington Post predictions, but as said, this year there seems to be a lot of sure bets. I'd love some upsets.
