Thanks to all the people who voted to kill my daughter. Including all y'all who didn't vote at all.
Aw, somebody remembered his birthday

I just finished this book about the weird circumstances of #EdgarAllenPoe's death.
But the atrocious amount of tuberculosis in this time period--my god. His mother died in her early 20s. His wife died at age 24.
Today's disease-mongers just baffle me. These were not good-old-days before big ag and big pharma.

Day 18: Raven
New stickers arrived of which this is one.
The new range of stickers are all a little nihilistic/political/what’s going on in the world vibes just to warn you.
Note to self maybe get a bigger sticker if you’re gonna do fine detail - I think it still works tho!?
More spooky season posting. This time of my favorite poem, The Raven, read aloud.
In my circles there's a lot of talk about all the resources (which include a ton of erotica and porn) that are vanishing or have already vanished from the open web as pornocalypse and the general decline of independent websites take their toll.
This 404 message spotted on a blog (now defunct of course) back in '08 is apropos:

I have these short windows when my brain is open to new music, and seeks it out.
I'm in one of those right now so trying to throw as much new music at my ears as I can while it lasts.
I've been getting into Bluegrass and as always happens, I'm drawn to the strange, creepy ones.
Going to share a few with you all.

Having watched The Black Cat this weekend, I decided I wanted to read the #movie's inspiration, #EdgarAllenPoe's story of the same name.
It's a gruesome tale that bears no resemblance to the film, other than both having a black cat. They're both creepy in their own way.
The film that actually comes closer is one part of #Corman's Tales of Terror. Fortunately, it, too, isn't as gruesome as the original story, plus we get the classic contest between Vinnie & Peter Lorre. https://youtu.be/yoYmkjmplig?feature=shared
"Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door - some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door - this it is and nothing more...
Then this brown dog beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, by the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, 'Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!'
Quoth the good boy 'Nevermore.'"
Today in Writing History January 29, 1845: The Evening Mirror, in New York, published “The Raven,” by Edgar Allan Poe. It was Poe’s first publication and it made him an overnight sensation. Yet, he spent much of his life in poverty. He originally considered having an owl or parrot, rather than a raven, quote “Nevermore.”
