\nI mentioned back in aught-five<\/a> that I like Kage Baker. It’s hit or miss finding her on the library and bookstore shelves, though. For this reason, I put her stuff on my wishlist and grab it when I get the chance. I’ve had Kage Baker’s Rude Mechanicals<\/a> on my Wish List<\/a> for nearly a year. Somehow I just haven’t gotten around to buying it or adding it to an order to push it over the limit for free shipping. I don’t know why I haven’t splurged. I guess I’m trying to be a bit more frugal with the online purchases.<\/p>\n

When I spotted Rude Mechnicals on my “you might like” suggestion list, I kept looking at the cover curiously. The guy in the illustration looked familiar, but I knew I hadn’t seen him in anything in the mass media. I’ve got a good eye for “hey, it’s that guy” actors. I just filed it away as him having one of those faces.<\/p>\n

Yesterday a voice from the past friended me on Facebook. Looking through his photos, it turns out he’s<\/i> the guy on the cover. It’s the first guy I dated in high school. Now that I know that, I can see it very clearly. Obviously, it’s him. He looks exactly the same.<\/p>\n

The internet is amazing – it’s just kept me from having that niggling feeling of can’t-quite-place-it recognition in the back of my mind for the next 20 years. Whew.<\/p>\n

Probably I shouldn’t refer to him just as “that guy.” He’s got some irons in the fire online<\/a>, including some bits which might interest the horror\/fantasy types among you. C’mon, the guy dated me, you knew he’d have to be off-kilter somehow.<\/p>\n
