Coffee at my excellent local horror bookstore @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social !

A backyard patio, a red metal cafe table with an orange cup of frothy coffee on it. In front of the cup, a pair of dark rectangular sunglasses. In the background, more red metal tables & chairs, and the legs & torso of a giant twelve foot tall skeleton model.

Happy Gotcha Day to the most wonderful of cats, Miss Arlington Ricochet Behemoth Mountain Priest Fantastico the Third.

A black cat snoozes comfortably (in the way only cats can) under a grey blanket. She is the image of peaceful slumber. To her right, a book by Haruki Murikami (the title of which cannot be seen) and to her left, a white coffee mug with the words TODAY IS THE DAY written on it. She is absurdly loved.

The early evening light in my bedroom is often pretty excellent.

Warm sunlight falls right to left across a dark wood cabinet. The sunlight is broken up by shadow, both organic and industrial looking, and the sunlight falls across a few lengths of rope, in various red and brown tones, coiled neatly and hanging from a metal clip.

Early this morning:

A poem titled When The Person You Love Has A Hard Time Sleeping (2):

I am a stone arm
I am a hand on a hip
I am a slow breathing listener
Wincing at hallway sounds
And the clunk of a mug replaced after untimely sipped
( but ever thankful for white noise )
The marvel of you back to sleep makes me watchful and protective
A guardian against my own disruptions
This bed's grotesque
Spending my stillness on your even breathing
and wondering how my swallowing could be so loud
If I stretch
Or breathe
Too deeply
The cracking of these chisel-carved limbs would raise you
And isn't love worth my being stone for a morning

Also: happy Pride month.

A fresh tattoo on the back of a lower leg. It shows a black & white drawing of a guillotine, with a banner weaving through the guillotine below the blade that says FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE. The tattoo was done by Emma James, at Tuff Cat Tattoo in Toronto, Canada.

Enjoying the hell out of both my new xteink X4 and my subsequent re-read of the Parker novels, by Donald Westlake ( writing as Richard Stark ), some of the best and favourite noir crime fiction.

A black and white photo of a small e-ink reading device, showing an image of the cover of THE SEVENTH, a book by Richard Stark.

Face reveal, wrong answers only

A cropped still from the 1987 movie HELLRAISER, written & directed by Clive Barker: a humanoid figure in black leather, lit starkly from the top, whose face is a twisted eyeless mass of skin and scar tissue, and whose mouth is held open in a lipless bloody grin by thin wires stretching from the back of its head. The figure stands against a dirty brick wall, with black chains hanging from the ceiling. This is the Chatterer Cenobite, and absolutely my favourite character from the film.

Bring your coffee back to bed

A tattooed hand resting on a black duvet holds a glass cup of frothy coffee. The cup is lit from the back with cold morning light, and from the front by a dim warm glow. The photo is both cold and cozy.

Did some bookshelf reorganizing today and it was made clear just how much The Pandemic really got me collecting in a more serious way. Games and ( not pictured ) physical media.

A bookshelf filled mostly with many many many tabletop roleplaying game books, too many different titles to list here.

For four more days.

Implements.

A long rattan cane with a wrapped black handle and loop.
A studded leather strap, shorter than the cane, with a wrist loop at one end.
A pale beige hardcover book, slightly stained, titled THE HORSE.
All resting on a pale rumpled bedsheet, shot from above, patiently waiting.

Convalescent hot chocolates ( Camp Enzo coffee and chocolate, thanks to @somachocolatemaker.bsky.social ) with my love @laurenjane.bsky.social

Two hands ( one large and tattooed, one smaller and delicate ) hold cups of hot chocolate on top of a waffle-textured grey blanket ( and other blankets because you can never have too many blankets )

It's Capricorn Season.

A day late, but 'tis still the season: watching John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN with my love @laurenjane.bsky.social as is only right and correct.

A movie frame from John Carpenter's 1978 classic horror film HALLOWEEN. A girl in a white dress shirt leans against a wall in a hallway, dimly lit by blue light. She is crying in fear. To her right is an open doorway, into an unlit room. Looming just at the edge of the doorway, emerging from the darkness, a Shape stares at her, the only part of it visible an emotionless white mask. A caption on the bottom of the screen says "Michael breathing heavily".

8. Two chairs, guarding a field. Thursday October 16, in Dartmouth, NS, Canada. #collectedchairs

Two tall grey plastic-backed chairs, with darker grey arms and legs, side by side on the edge of a sidewalk. Behind them, a field full of autumn-dried foliage. There is a lens flare glow above the two chairs. The sidewalk has a few scattered orange leaves.

7. Chair, tilted. Friday October 10, in Parkdale, Toronto, Canada. #collectedchairs

A wooden chair, mostly comprised of curves, with blue seat cushion and back rest. It sits on a lawn, sloping down towards the sidewalk. The seat cushion is a little worn but the chair is in generally decent shape.

The actor Chow Yun-fat looking cool as hell:

6. Chair, with suboptimal seat. Tuesday September 24, in Parkdale, Toronto, Canada. #collectedchairs

A brown wooden chair sits on the sidewalk beside a lamp post. There is some ornateness to the legs and back posts of the chair, as well as on the top rail, the mid rail, and apron. In place of a seat, there is an oversized wooden board, perhaps plywood, scuffed and scratched with marks and stains. The board is noticeably wider than the body of the chair, sticking out on each side. Behind the chair, a garden front lawn, with a shock of red flowers.

Even my nerdery involves good lighting. #lego #lightmybricks

A Lego version of a Japanese Red Maple sits on a white bedspread, lit from below by four warm LED lights built into the base of the tree. The room behind the tree is dark, and the tree itself is lovely.

5. Chairs, stacked, with cushion. Thursday September 18, Queen Street in Parkdale, Toronto, Canada. #collectedchairs

On the sidewalk, three white plastic chairs stacked on top of each other. The topmost chair has collected water & dirt on the seat. The second chair has a purple cushion on the seat, only visible by the ties on the back post holding it in place. The third & bottommost chair is a mystery. The chairs are stacked beside a light post & in front of a boring grey minivan. The photo is rather monochromatic, which makes the purple of the cushion ties stand out.

4. Chair, with additional burger. Tuesday September 16, Harbord St, Toronto, Canada. #collectedchairs

A black leather armless chair, slightly scuffed, sits in the corner of a transit stop shelter, against a glass wall. Behind it, on a glowing advertisement poster, a hand holds up a tall overly stacked cheeseburger.

3. Monday September 15, High Park, Toronto, Canada. #collectedchairs

A grey chair, upholstered in a velour-type fabric, sits on an unmowed lawn. Three of the chair's (presumably) four legs are visible, narrow and of dark wood. Behind the chair to the left is the trunk of a narrow tree, and further behind a house and some shrubbery can be seen.

Happy this is streaming but I do also require it in 4k. Who knows this film?

A TV screen showing four evil looking but brightly coloured clowns standing in a doorway. One of them seems to be emerging from a pizza box and is firing some sort of twisting pink beam out of a comical ray gun towards the viewer.

2. Friday September 12, Toronto, Canada. #collectedchairs

A brown wood chair faces away from the camera, on the corner of a patch of grass. The morning sun casts long shadows, and the grass lawn is cornered by long beams of pale wood.

A collection of chairs, photographed in the wild. 1. Monday September 8, Toronto, Canada. #collectedchairs

An ornate white chair, its cushions a little tattered, sits just off the sidewalk beside a yellow fire hydrant. The light is coming from the right hand side of the photograph, and the chair casts a dark shadow to the left.

Yesterday was too warm and too humid and I cannot wait for this season to be over.

A black and white high-contrast photo of a bald man with a white beard, wearing shades and a black t-shirt and standing on a staircase. Some sort of phone holster in on a strap across his chest. He looks overheated and very displeased.

It had been too long, and this was so so needed. With ( & shot by ) my love @laurenjane.bsky.social
