Some snow storm. Weathermen should get fired over this kind of senseless and false hype ( Read more... )

Yes, I still exist in the blogosphere. I've been so out of spirits lately that I just haven't had the drive to fully express myself beyond the 140-character tweet. Nothing much to report, to be honest.

My home-based responsibilities are well taken care of (oddly enough) at the moment. Money things are finally, blessedly in order--and I'm ( Read more... )

Several movies in the rumour mill, but I just learned of this one from trilogyqueen:

Indy 5

But, of course, because I'm still stuck at the mountains of madness, "secret past" makes me think of starfish-headed tentacle aliens in a labyrinthine city ... And then Professor ( Read more... )

I appreciate HPL's painstaking attention to detail. I really do. It takes a lot of passion and dogged research to be so damned detailed with [relative to the time] scientific accuracy and realistic fallacies ( Read more... )

Finished reading "The Dunwich Horror" finally. Moving onto "At the Mountains of Madness". The end notes for "Mountains" make me feel sort of sorry for Lovecraft. The unknown quality of Antarctica and the expeditions to that continent were obviously subjects near and dear to him (perhaps reaching a Sterne-esque hobby-horse, actually), and it seems ( Read more... )
