I was the nerdiest of nerds. Me in my homemade deerstalker hat playing a detective in the school play. (Because if I was a detective, then I was CLEARLY Sherlock Holmes.)

A scene from the scintillating musical "Tracers of Lost Parts of Speech", with me in the pivotal role as the Detective, wearing a coat, tie, and a homemade deerstalker hat because if I was a detective, then CLEARLY I was meant to be Sherlock. I was in 6th grade, and the Queen of the Nerds for the entire county.

Got to my meeting an hour ahead of time; you will all suffer for my boredom:

A poorly-drawn ice cream cone ghost, with the caption “You skreem, I skreem, this is a skreeming ice cream.”

Dr Quest and Race Bannon having some quality family time with the boys. Wanna know why Gen Jones/Gen X is so steeped in subtext? This was our childhood cartoon. Even WE knew those two guys were married.

I have to work tomorrow. Yes, I'm serious. To say that I am NOT PLEASED is an understatement. (City Hall employees get a 3-day weekend. Library doesn't, because we're apparently the red-headed stepchild of the City.) #Dammit

There used to be a brand of wine (it was actually called 'Pescevino', or similar) that came in a fish-shaped bottle, maybe this was for that? (Yes! found a picture.)

An empty bottle of "Pescevino" - Italian white wine in a fish-shaped bottle. Pretty tasty, if memory serves.

Been 17 years since my dad died. He was infuriating, but instilled a love of reading in me. He was a blowhard, but he taught me to stand up for myself and not back down. He was conservative, but encouraged me to read *everything*, and question *everything*. I have complicated feelings. #FathersDay

My dad, circa 1945, a rootin', tootin' cowboy.

We went out for our fancy anniversary dinner, and I am now addicted to this dish: Short ribs, house made fat noodles, peas , crispy Brussels Sprouts, lemon, mint, & a bit of cheese.) I dang near made myself sick. :happy yummy noises:

Braised short ribs with house-made wide noodles, peas with lemon & mint, covered in crispy Brussels sprouts and lightly shredded cheese. Unbelievably good.

38 years ago today, I married my amazing Manly Man. I would do it again in a New York minute; we are perfectly suited for one another. Happy Anniversary, sweetie!

Manly Man and I in our salad days enjoying a dip-and-kiss moment, roughly 4 years before we would enter into wedded bliss.

Step one of learning a new hobby; draw crappy designs, carve terrible lines, print horribly inconsistently - Success! #NailedIt #CraftFail

Poorly drawn & carved linocut block, featuring Dogwood flowers, a 70’s mushroom & a kitty face. First attempt, just as bad as you’re imagining.

First attempt at block printing from my poorly-carved block. Ink application & transfer is commensurate with the carving skill.

Sign from my local park featuring an illustration of an alligator. It reads: "DANGER - DO NOT FEED OR MOLEST. Gators cannot be tamed and feeding them can result in them mistaking a hand for a handout! Florida law prohibits the feeding or molesting of alligators."

So beautiful and dream-like, not a frame wasted, slowly becomes dread-inducing, plus eerie time-travel element. Mattie Do is a freaking genius of a director.

The first album that I bought with my own money was - no lie - Shel Silverstein's "Songs and Stories". Every place I look says it came out in '78, but I was in high school in '78. I bought this in Middle School (and then spent several years hoping like hell my mother wouldn't listen to it, lol.)

Cover of "Shel Silverstein's Songs and Stories" album, featuring the musician bare-chested in bed with his guitar.

Me, screaming impotently at the madness of the universe.

Tiny (life-size, hand for scale) Viperfish, jaws agape with needle teeth, sitting in someone's hand. Such a disappointment to find that this fish is actually canned-sardine size.

I may have gone a little hog-wild & pig-crazy at Independent Bookstore Day. #Books

Stack of new books just waiting for my attention:
“The Language of Liars” by S.L. Huang
“Bodies of Work” by Clay McCleod Chapman
“The Mean Ones “ by Tatiana Schlote-Bonne
“Notes from a Regicide “ by Isaac Fellman
And “Cabaret in Flames “ by Hache Pueyo

Half an hour 'til the doors of the club open for "Rockula!" Join #HorrorWatch for the most ridiculous horror-adjacent comedy you've ever seen - starring Dean Cameron, Toni Basil, and Thomas Dolby. Be there or be square!

Still is of a singer belting out a tune, arms outstretched so you can see the word "Rockula" spelt out on his t-shirt and bat-wing jacket. Dean Cameron plays a virgin vampire still living with his mother (Toni Basil) and living out his own little rock & roll fantasies in the film "Rockula" (1990).

May I offer a small rebuttal? :gestures in old punk lady:

My favorite moment from The Simpsons; cracks me up every time:

From the Simpsons Treehouse of Terror alien election episode; Bob Dole getting abducted by a metal claw, and saying "Bob Dole doesn't need this".

My childhood Horror Host was "Sir Cecil Creape"; loved that show.

Day-drinking, for a multitude of reasons. #BeerOClock

Golden isles Porter, dark and delicious, helping blur the panic attacks

Harmonyfb@harmonyfb· Feb 25

From a Simpson's Treehouse of Terror episode, cartoon Bob Dole getting pinched & lifted by a giant metal claw, whereupon he says "Bob Dole Doesn't Need This". (Originally airing right after Bob Dole talked about himself in the third person in public, this was one of the biggest laughs the Simpsons ever surprised out of me. I still giggle every time I see it.)

Drop your favorite foreign language horror films: (from the past decade or so; there are too many to start at the beginning.)

The poster for the 2014 film "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night" (Persian) It features a red background with woman's stylized face (white eyes and red, red lips) looming out of a stylized black silhouette.

Poster for the 2022 film "Moloch" (Netherlands). It features a house in the fog with a red light shining from the attic, surrounded by seven females figures in the fog.

Poster for the 2019 film "The Long Walk" (Laos). It features a young boy running up a sandy road; behind him in the distance, a man and woman walk the same road through a forest.

The poster for the 2021 film "Vampir" (Serbian). It features a black background, with indistinct red figures at the bottom. The main focus of the poster is the head of a vampire, pale, with a bald head and bloodstained mouth, hanging upside down like a bat.

Look what my sweet Manly Man got me for Valentine’s Day! He knows me so well. #TruWuv

Gold-tone necklace with two hands touching an Ouija planchette, decorated with an eye, a crystal, and the word “Goodbye”. Came from the shop “Little Rooms”

That shot of her marked face, mouth open, reminds me strongly of the cover for Brain Salad Surgery. I wonder if Geiger was inspired by it? #HorrorWatch

Cover for the Emerson, Lake and Palmer album "Brain Salad Surgery". Artist H. R. Geiger designed it.

Two. One nobody outside TN will have heard of (which is why there are two). A. "Nashville Babylon" by The White Animals B. "Chronic Town" by REM Goddam, my college years had some great music.
