Dark black background with a mystic Inuit totem pole. Cover for the urban fantasy book, Sisters of the Pale Claw. Text reads: because some magic answers to strength. Some answer to blood. And some demand a love powerful enough to challenge the gods themselves.

It did, and I would miss Alan β€œI am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar” Tudyk. I read more than a few times that at least one sequel to the movie was discussed.

Been my story the last few days. Sit down to read, read a page, then pick up my phone and start doom scrolling

I read "Thank You, Jeeves" and agree. Wooster was a complete fool and would never have amounted to much in a meritocracy

You remind me of my neighbor. One winter's day, he was standing by his garage door in shorts and a t-shirt smoking (his wife wouldn't let him smoke in the house).

Me: man, I'm cold just looking at you.

Him: Cold? Ya call this cold? I'm from New York. This is like a Spring day back there.

overflowing bookshelves

I was never a big fantasy fan growing up. There's less than one shelf devoted to fantasy on my bookshelves, but I regret not reading him sooner.

Read it recently and it didn't age well. There were too many anachronisms for this day and age, let alone for 2082. Using a TYPEWRITER, hunting down a newspaper rack and dropping coins in it to find out the latest news, sitting down with a pen and paper to write a letter to be mailed, etc.

It's been a while since I watched it, but "dame" was probably used as well as "bull" for cop, "take a powder" for running away, "duck soup" for easy, "shamus" for private detective, etc. Dialogue you would expect from Humphry Bogart. It was definitely a fun watch.

Love noir. One of my favorite movies is Rian Johnson's Brick. In it, a high school kid investigates his ex-girlfriend's murder. Johnson peppers the movie with the anachronistic dialogue and slang of old 1940's movies.
