“We live in anxious but oddly well-lit times.” – Emperor Cupcake on Letterboxd Is it deeply strange or merely apropos to be having the Outer Dark Symposium on the Greater Weird in the midst of all this? [gestures around at everything] Whichever it is, that’s what’s happening. The Symposium was…

“If it can happen to the gerenuk, it can happen to you.” In case you were concerned that I was abandoning my core brand with all this recent talk about Dungeons & Dragons and board games, I lately learned that there was a 1962 episode of the show Route 66…

It’s hard to believe that it’s August 2nd already, as I write this. The pandemic – and with it the rest of the garbage fire that is 2020 – has been … having an effect on my overall life and output, to be sure, and rarely an altogether positive one.…

So, it’s been a minute. (Approximately 28,800 of them, actually.) What have I been doing with myself during quarantine? Not what I would have expected, necessarily. For example, unlike a great many people, I haven’t been watching a lot more movies or television, though, like, I gather, a great many…

No one knows where he comes from or where he’ll show up next, but apparently he’s been around for a long time and is to blame for all manner of trouble and problems. Attempts to capture or kill him have been unsuccessful, so he remains on the loose and…
