I like putting words together, vocally and on paper. Scary stuff is my jam. Dad and husband and also just me. He/him.

Saw some leaves in a place where there shouldn’t be any, immediately thought of The Good House by @tananarivedue.bsky.social . Sometimes the stories just stick with you.

Leah would think of you being here if it mattered to her at all. Studiously ignoring you? Or totally unaware? Who can say? I have my guess, though.

Sometimes I’m scared to look, as Halo, my merkwürdige cat, has so aptly demonstrated with this benign blue plastic container.

Cobweb with Lizzy Caplan and Antony Starr was a creepy dark fairy tale worthy of the un-sanitized Grimm with a lot of unexpected twists. A fantastic look to the surroundings made everything scarier. Coraline adjacent but more gore. Fantastic trip.
Movie still from Cobweb with Lizzy Caplan as the Mother standing in the hallway outside her son’s room in the dark. Her hands are splayed out, her eyes are glowing, and she has a wolf’s grin as she stares at him.

Here’s a little blep from your neighborhood black cat on this Eve of Halloween. See how her hair is red? See how she soaks up the sun? See how she plans to exact her revenge?

I…I…I think something short-circuited…I keep shaking my head in denial, but I saw the ad, and I think this is a cosmic horror I might not recover from.
Two-panel comic from KC Green that shows a dog sitting at a table with a cup of coffee while the room is on fire all around him. In the second panel, he says, “This is fine.” When of course it’s not.

What do you mean you’re on the toilet, what does that have to do with the affection I require at this very moment?

Leah stops your protestations with a glance. No words will win her grace. All discussion is over. The best you can do is to slink away into the night and hope for the morning.

Pretty sure Leah is an alien. Just glad I was wearing my tinfoil hat that day.
Leah, black cat, stares at the camera with her eyes and mouth open. The eyes reflect the flash and are bright, yellow and gold, well, the pink of tongue shines in her open mouth. It’s a little uncanny valley.

Watched a little bit of the 90s miniseries version of It. Tim Curry ate that role up like Pennywise ate up little kids. 5-star performance, would recommend.
Tim Curry as Pennywise the Clown from the miniseries based on Stephen King’s It. Dark blood red lipstick and a smile on a white painted face with a red nose and black eye makeup and eyebrows. A ruffled collar, white gloves, and a giant mane of red poofy hair. The eyes stare straight at the camera, and seem to contemplate what YOU, dear reader, might taste like.

I couldn’t get the detail on the face because of how bright it was, but here’s a snapshot of the super blue moon last night.
The moon, so bright in the night sky it looks like a miniature sun, sits above a tree line in shadow, framed by a few wisps of cloud.

So I was looking into glucose syrup for cooking, and came across this lesser known use. Trust me, it’s worth the ride.
An Amazon review: Best Glucose for people who have trouble sleeping. This is the best product for the money I use a lot of this as I have trouble sleeping so I rub some glucose on my toes and it helps me go to bed faster I go through a lot of buckets fast so this is perfect for me great product I just wish it was a little bit more thicker because I want it to stay on my toes longer through the night but it slowly slides off for the cats to lock off my bed sheets. overall great product.
