Woohoo! Spooky season is upon us, and I am starting my yearly watch of horror movies a bit early, with a film that is maybe a bit on the nose with its metaphors but I loved it all the same. Intentional or not, it's in fascinating dialogue with a 2003 Ray Wise Lin Shaye film. #spookyfilmfest #1

A picture of three young adults at the side of a car. One is leaning against the hood at the far side of the frame. Closer to the viewer, one is standing on the running board leaning against an open drivers side door. Closest to the viewer another is leaning out of the back seat window. They are looking at something offscreen to the left. The whole picture is tilted on its side. The title (It Ends) is in the middle.

Well, I had a sort of a whirlwind trip to NYC to look at the New Yorker Records at NYPL. Not to be maudlin, but I remember visiting the lions as a child and thinking, "wouldn't it be great to study here." Mission accomplished!

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Seriously, everyone, listen. Librarians and archive workers are a gift from some idea of something like heaven. I have personally recently made the lives of a couple of archival librarians harder, just by me being tunnel-focused on my things and being selfishly unaware. All hail the librarians.

Walking around Dublin feels like a nightmare today. Also, to the fucking asshole who tried to get into my backpack at the stop light, joke's on you. There's nothing in there but cheap fountain pens, printed conference papers, and used tissues.
