“...disease and danger, wrapped in darkness and silence.” (176)

A sunny day. The sky too blue, but it's better than clouds. Our high was only 50˚F.

I tried not to think about Geoffrey today, but thought of little else. A line, something he wrote, from our last email exchange:

So I wish I were healthy and wealthy, because then I’d come find you, because I’m probably lost with you, but I’m definitely lost without you.

The world subtracts the people we care about, and it leaves behind holes.

Anyway...

Today's Poe was "The Gold Bug." The afternoon's movie was J.J. Abrams' Star Trek (2009).

Last night we watched the first two episodes of The Last of Us, and, honestly, I'm sick of the Zombie Apocalypse. There is such tremendous laziness, coughing this same exhausted story up over and over and over, thinking that tweaking this or that amounts to any difference that matters. It's was nice seeing Anna Torv, but now her character's dead, I was annoyed by the especially lousy science, and I can find better things to watch. On the other hand, we saw the first episode of 1923, and I liked it quite a lot. Also, I see there's a new season of Mayor of Kingstown out; I loved Season One.

Please have a look at the Dreaming Squid Sundries shop. Thank you.

Later Tater Beans,
Aunt Beast
