impending doom . . .
i had arthoscopic surgery on my knee friday. it's healing up nicely. i was actually able to drive to the book store today to feed my latest obsession - H. P. Lovecraft. they didn't have as big a selection as i would have liked but i was able to find a book entirely of nothing but his stories, which is difficult to find believe it or not. it's always lovecraft "and others", or "2 stories by lovecraft and 18 by some other guys who claim to have known him." none of which are ever as good. except for robert bloch. it's interesting how you can tell in their stories that he and lovecraft actually knew and had a fondness for one another.
i didn't even look at teh cover of the book i found. i read teh back, saw that it was entirely lovecraft and walked to the register with it. when i got to my car i sat down and started to read the introduction, which was an abbreviated biography of lovecraft, and when i got about halfway through i closed it and noticed that the cover of the book was a rendition of my very favorite painting - sadak and the waters of oblivian. i like it when things like that happen. i tend to take it as a sign from the universe that i've made a correct choice, reassurance that i've taken another step down the correct path. Lord knows the universe swatted me on my nose with a rolled up newspaper quite a few times this weekend. maybe i should start paying closer attention to the signs.
