The horrible week preceeding: See car drama. x.x

See also: Wake up to find Dad in the process of moving back in. Smash glass by getting elbow stuck in while washing dishes. Almost hit stray cat on the way to work. Forget shoes and have to buy cheap substitutes which are not at all comfortable. And probably a dozen other little things that drove me insane, but those are the ones that stuck out, all of them on the one day.

Probably because that was the one day.

Random things I have meant to mention but forgotten to: Finished one book of Lovecraft, which ended with the Shadow Over Innsmouth and the Shadow Out of Time.

Innsmouth: Well. I was wondering what was going to happen, since he got out of the town of half breed horrors alive, never mind actually getting the government involved. It seemed entirely too much like a happy ending for a bit, and that just doesn't happen with Lovecraft. :P

Shadow, now... How was that supposed to be scary?! Disturbing, yes, but still - what was the guy's problem? That 'Great Race' seemed almost benevolent compared to most of Lovecraft's things. What with the usual thing being to consider humans a food source if not worse, historians are. Well. What was the man's problem?! >:P

Meanwhile, waiting for things to download that I might hear opinions and squee, and working my way through BoF IV again. :)

I actually like "The Shadow out of Time"? And no, I don't quite get it, except he had lots of Issues--esp. with anything not man-shaped. =p
Remember not to suck down too much HPL at once--or Poe, really; so much of his poetry is wintery--you want to get a scarf and overcoat, read it snuggled down in a carriage by a lake, hanging out watching the snow fall...hmm, was he a winter baby, you think?

See! I kept waiting to be scared, and except when the idiot nearly got himself killed jumping to get out of the buried library? Nada! XD I just wanted to bop the guy with something, because he was so lucky. Other people get eaten, or driven insane by things that have tried to eat them, or turn out to be related to things that tried to eat them! All he got was insanely intelligent super-beings with a penchant for collecting knowledge. Wuss :P

Actually, I checked: Edgar Allen Poe, born January 19, 1809. :o
