That waterspout grind y’all.
I want to read my book.
I dread what will happen in my book so I’m not reading it.
Being a horror fan is complicated sometimes.

Reading M.R. James is like falling asleep in a warm cozy sunlit library and waking up to find someone being beaten to death in the chair next to you.

One more thing about my apocalyptic dream: All the destruction was silent.
I think that may have been the worst part?

The specifics of the dream scenario are not important, but the upshot was that everything was in the process of being destroyed, and my only salvation was… Ozzy Osbourne??
Also Dream-Ozzy had a small but well appointed kitchen specifically for shellfish.

YouTube correctly determined that I love the “Book of the New Sun” by Gene Wolfe and threw deep dive videos at me.
I’m now I’m considering re-buying in ebook (I have the softcovers), throwing them on my old Kindle, and doing a slooooooow annotated reread.

“Has anyone spoken to Gondor lately?”

“…did anyone get that reference?
…No, no you didn’t. Okay.”

I think thrillers might not be For Me.
An Imaginary cookie to anyone who can guess the book.
Side note: why can I add significantly more characters in alt text then I can of my post??

Why have y’all been holding out on me?? As usual Mike Brown comes through with the good stuff.

The Childe saw this on my phone as I was scrolling and started asking questions about it. Long story short they want me to read the King in Yellow (it’s been in my queue for a while) to see if we can read it together.

Is this it? Is this how I get cosmic horrored?

It’s not a problem as long as you have room to store it.
Anyway about my knee boot problem…

I have 5.5 weeks to squeeze in six more books because waiting until the last minute and weaponizing my FOMO are my only time tested productivity tactics.

12:00 am - “I swear tonight I’m going to bed at 12:30”.
1:00 am - But they were all of them deceived, for another bedtime was made.

I just remembered that I can vent my brain into the ether and not feel gross about it.
Nice.

A moment in my brain:
“Ooh that’s a pretty sweater, sure is cold toda… MAKE A THE VVITCH THEMED HOLIDAY SWEATER. PLANNING STAGE STARTS NOW”.

The Computer Gone Wrong story is our modern iteration of the cautionary Djinn/Fae tale.
In this essay I will…

It’s a little after midnight and the wind has terrifyingly caught and slammed the screen door a few times just now.
While that was all very easily explained I would still like to put on record that I do not have ANYONE’S golden arm. #themeattenderizerisnamedbeatrice #wheresmygoldenarm
