'Over The Garden Wall' Is The Only Thing Keeping Me Sane Right Now

 ...and that is why I am going to edit together the episodes I have on my computer into one single entity (so as to avoid clicking through them while I game) and do some fun Halloween stuff to it. Mostly this means adding in a fake/strange commercial at the end of each episode so as to simulate the experience of watching it on actual television, albeit a haunted creepypasta television. It'll be a fun Halloween feature, and if not watched with my roommates, then hopefully with a good friend who lives abroad. I've already blasted through it three or four times and it will not stop there.

These are the sorts of projects occupying my time right now. Others are fandom gift exchanges I have joined in an effort to stave off the madness, as well as a few movie watching projects for my Letterboxd (which, I have a Letterboxd now). I'm glad to find my login for this blog intact, as I have a feeling I will be slinking in here quite a bit. I have to yap about Coyote vs. Acme at some point, which I saw in cinema in a scrabbling attempt to make myself feel better about a shitty week. It was very good, you should go see it.

I'll also probably pop in on Halloween proper as well as Christmas, with some cooking or crafts related things. 

This year has been strangely long, events I think happened in 2025 will bear the date of only a few months back. I have sent a lot of emails, I'll tell you that much.

Perceval Landon Wrote One of the Best Ghost Stories Ever and Then Dipped

There is something very satisfying about having a favourite ghost story. Bonus points if the only way to acquire it is either in a volume of other ghost stories, or through Project Gutenberg ( Australia ). Which, sidebar, there was no way to download that text from Project Gutenberg Australia so the only way to assure it fell into my hands for all eternity was to copy and paste it into Ellipsus, edit the atrocious typos ( Project Gutenberg Australia what happened girl) and finally save it as PDF. Thurnley Abbey by Perceval Landon. Edited version of one of the only covers I could find. Originally made known to me in a book I do not remember actually putting inside my home ( Classic   Victorian & Edwardian Ghost Stories by Someone Who Picked Them Very Badly), Thurnley Abbey is kind of my platonic ideal of a ghost story. It follows our first narrator on board a mail-boat bound for "the East". Here he meets a man, Alastair Colvin, whom he initially writes off as your ru...

Things I Need To Remember to Take on My Daytrip

Image
This is essentially me glorifying my inventory because I absolutely will forget to equip it. For you see tomorrow (plans willing) me and the house + friend troop to the Iziko South African Museum (the one by the Company's Garden ) for a day of being massive fucking nerds. Last time we went I entirely forgot to bring my glasses, so now I have been seized by anxiety's quieter cousin. And seeing as I have nothing else to write of today, let's have a silly one. Items as follow: Glasses  bog standard. helps me see the plaques and the squirrels. Jewellery  a recent development, but now i feel naked without it. besides, good to fidget with. Binoculars  gifted to me on my birthday. in case we do take a turn about the Gardens, or if the fossils are particularly high up. Birding Book  just in case. Notebook + Pen  old ass notebook and pen i got for christmas. i'm gonna miss this thing when it kicks the bucket. I.D.  locals get in cheaper hehe. you are not getting a ...

A Quick One for Monday

Image
I'm in the process of reading through some Lovecraft stories I've neglected to take up throughout the years. This was supposed to be the subject for today's post, but I started far too late and swiftly realized it was going to warrant a bit more brainpower than could be harnessed in 2-3 hours. Today was another strange haze of half-productivity, rendered at least pleasant by the mere fact that it was significantly colder than the last. One of my neighbours did emerge to scream in the street for about twenty minutes, which was alarming, but else the day passed without incident.  The rest of the Monday is going to pass in this fashion. Reading, some writing if lucky, Minecraft with the boys and then Cadfael to close the evening. If I'm lucky I'll clean my room, and it's pretty gross in there so I do think I will. two little dishtowels napping <3 (they are fully enclosed)
