Critical Hauntology

Bookshelf marked with the label "oddities"

I'm home.

Stacks and shelves of used books, a wonderland.

*giggles*

I'm in danger.

An unaccommodating commode, as it were.

You don't have to repost anything that bonehead Thiel has to say. It's okay.

WIZARDS (1977, Ralph Bakshi)

You can admit that the MRI has sicker beats.

My friend @jtreppel.bsky.social played this one for me yesterday. Kind of a mixed bag but some really great stuff.

Chilaquiles, machaca, fried eggs and refried beans. Cafe de olla not pictured but enjoyed.

Breakfast posting returns.

@zoedrayson.bsky.social one for you

There's a frontage road, a concrete barrier, then the fury and splendor of the 5 north.

Street in Burbank that ends in freeway on/off roadlets. You feel unsafe.

Love me some un-places

Is there a word for when you're worried about fakeness, but that feeling itself is fake?

I'm good for a laugh. Just ask anyone.

Temu Revolution Gear

Should probably be trying to sleep but after today I'm gonna be up late thinking about fallibility and frailty and unfairness.

I don't think anyone saw the importance of the forced-air inflatable novelty costume as a symbol of resistance coming.

The cover of Samuel Z Arkoff's biography.

Front page of the same book, bearing Arkoff's signature. This book was touched by Arkoff's himself. His energy still resides here.

One of today's big finds.

Shot and chaser.

What.

I fear having to stand up in 13 minutes.

I am just visiting and this void has adopted me (for the moment.)

A black cat sitting on a lap.

The Void has found me. The Void is my friend.

The original Night of the Living Dead has surprisingly little gore but might be a tad intense.

I liked Vertigo. I loved the Vertigo books before they were labeled such. This feels like putting Qwisp back on cereal boxes. Time doesn't go backwards.

If I get in my car now, I can be there Tuesday. You want plain water or flavored?

Folks talked a lot more into that movie than was there. Agreed that it works better as a fairytale and the modern trappings are what makes it fall down, for me anyways.

Confederacy of Dorks

Which are far more deranged than I remembered, having just read a bunch in the Hellblazer omnibus. A delight!

Praise the Maker!
