"Sometimes, I take a great notion..."
Sunny today, and a wide, carnivorous sky, and the temperature is a paltry 59˚F.
I left the house yesterday, despite the nip in the constant breeze. We drove over the river to Wickenden Street and spent an hour or so browsing through the bins at Round Again Records. I spent ten bucks I probably shouldn't have and came away with Songs of Leonard Cohen (1967) and Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run (1975).

Back home, I lay on the floor in the front parlour and listened to them, trying not to hate this decade.
I feel as if all I'm really doing these days is watching movies. Last night we had a proper Kindernachct and watched DreamWorks' How to Train Your Dragon 2 (2014), followed by Disney's Big Hero 6 (2014). The former was very enjoyable, but pales in comparison to the latter. I have a feeling that neither Hubero nor Selwyn will be called anything but "hairy baby" for some time to come. Night before last we watched three horror films, starting with Adam Green's mockumentary Digging Up the Marrow (2014), which was fun, mostly thanks to Ray Wise and decent enough creature effects. The second feature was Conor McMahon's From the Dark (2014), an extremely effective Irish vampire film. This one I strongly recommend. I would go as far as to declare it creepy as hell. Niamh Algar plays Sarah, a beleaguered protagonist of whom Ellen Ripley would be proud. The last of the three films was Eduardo Sánchez' Exists (2014), which proves you can make a pretty scary movie about Bigfoot, even if it's populated with insufferable twenty somethings.
That's all I have for now, except I would ask that you please have a look at the current eBay auctions. Thanks.
Later Tots,
Aunt Beast
