Can I please go home now?

Snow as far as the eye can see, which isn't very far, not if you're me. Oh, look. I made a rhyme. Anyway, more snow on the way, flurries. A world made of ice.

Especially wretched dreams this morning, and I'm still trying to shake them off.

Yesterday, I wrote 1,701 words on Chapter 5 of The Drowning Girl: A Memoir. Most of it was a letter from 1897, which is always fun. I inadvertently learned a lot about the history of postcards.

Last night, there was rp in Insilico. These days, rp pretty much always consists of me and one other, maybe two others, hidden away in a nook where we'll not be bothered by the scuttlefish. Later, Spooky and I watched Robert Schwentke's Red. It was fun. And no, I haven't read the graphic novel, and the first person who tells me it was so much better than the movie gets an unpleasant visit from a platypus brandishing red-hot weenie tongs.

Over and over and over,
Aunt Beast

Do you enjoy the research?

Do you enjoy the research?

Sometimes. Sometimes much more than the actual writing.

I can't comment on the film itself, as I've not seen it, but it looks fun.

That it looks "fun" implies sufficient basal difference from the graphic novel that an evaluation of adaptation decay would be rendered largely meaningless.

Yep.

But if the book really IS better than the movie, than Nerdlese, the God of Comic Books, will take the weenie tongs from your hands. I think it's the comic aficionado's equivalent of a witch test.

It might try. Even the fingers of gods may be broken.

I always thought they were all thumbs.

I assume by "unpleasant" you mean the tongs will be used for a purpose they were never intended to perform, Aunt Beast? Because I was just thinking I need a pair of weenie tongs to roast...something. Maybe something evil yet edible, such as a hot dog.

Of course.

I love the word "scuttlefish." An Uncle Harlan original, isn't it?

I'm pretty sure it is, yep.

I understand we have something called the Greenland Block to blame for the relentless cold and snow. Please send your platypus brandishing red-hot weenie tongs north to defeat the climate foe. Please.

Red is on my list. It will be a pleasure watching Helen Mirren go kick-ass.

he doesn't do weather. He's such a bloody fickle beast.
