wrap your heel in bones of steel, turn the leg, a twist of color

I think it's a quasi-paradoxical intent, thinking that maybe I can write about these times when I am unable to write. It's hard to miss the contradiction. Never mind that I mostly hate writing about writing, which means I must probably loathe writing about not-writing. But. When it happens, the not-writing, the weather within these walls seems to

"Assorted tropical flavours" tends to mean "different levels of vaguely fruity chalk."

Indeed.

"Is reason itself reliable?"

Oh, that's a good one.

It's a question upon which I seem doomed to waffle. One moment, I'm reason's bitch and the next I wouldn't trust her to cut cards...

If you've never seen them, you might enjoy Frogs and Day of the Animals. The latter features a scenery-chewing incarnation of Leslie Nielson, going mano a oso with a righteously unhappy grizzly.

Ah, I've seen them both of course. In fact, Day of the Animals shares a director with Grizzly. I don't know if Spooky has ever seen Frogs, or if it's available on DVD...

Hmm, that would make sense. One of these days I will go down to Eden State Park and see the Home of the Killer Frogs. In the same vein, one day I will have to re-view Night of the Lepus. As a kid it didn't thrill me so much, but now I rather like the idea of giant rabbits running amok, batting SUVs left and right...

And yet, quasi-paradoxically, here I am writing about not writing, and it's the best thing I've written in more than a goddamn month.

"The air becomes laced with unseen piano wires" is a beautiful line.

Wasn't Grizzly the movie that included a scene where a bear tosses a person in a sleeping bag into a tree and the sleeping bag "exploded" in down? I remember seeing that and having nightmares for weeks...

Nope. That was Prophecy (1979).
