“To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair.”
“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power.
“Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

Care for a tale about zombie scouts? By yours truly?
I penned this little tale about ravenous zombie children a decade ago — and the really nice people over at Tales of the Zombie War published it. Since so many of you guys are being so cool about getting into the Halloween spirit, I thought I’d contribute what I could. 🙂
The Tales of the Zombie War website appears to be going through some minor formatting issues with its text. (As someone who writes this informal blog, I can vouch for how easily that can happen.) But I think that the story is still easy to read.
Enjoy “The Siege of Fort Buzzard.” And aim for the head!

“Felix the Ghost Breaker” (1923)
I don’t know why I love antique cartoons the way I do. They’re just sort of an odd little peek into the past and they have this strange, inimitable charm.
Anyway, enjoy “Felix the Ghostbreaker” (1923). Thanks to TheVideoCellar for the upload.

“The Old Man and Death,” László Mednyánszky, circa 1895
“Poems do not last as objects, but as presences.”
“Poems do not last as objects, but as presences. When you read something worth remembering, you release a human voice: you give back to the world a fellow spirit.
“I read poems to hear that voice. I write to speak to those whom I have listened. ”

Tempus losingit?
I keep politely asking people about their weekend.
It is Thursday and I am an imbecile.
