First, I'm late. I know it. There was death and sadness that I found really odd since I didn't know the man at all except for the characters he played but I felt sad anyway. And then there were assholes making snarky superior comments about how Robin Williams is going to hell for committing suicide,… Continue reading Mythic Monday (Sort of): Yggdrasill – If You Can Pronounce It, You May Be A Viking

Dear Anyone: IS THIS A SNAKE DEN??
I assure you, there's a hole there (rained last night). It's the size of a doughnut hole...2" across or so. Seriously, what the hell made this hole in my front garden?? Giant wasps? Ground gopher (that's what Husband says it is, by the way)? Giant Snakepider? Teeny-tiny Hellmouth (in which case I expect Buffy to come save… Continue reading Dear Anyone: IS THIS A SNAKE DEN??
Mythic Monday: Lorelie and the Siren
I have to say, I chuckle a bit to myself every time I hear this name. Lorelai/Loralie/Lorelay...doesn't it sound beautiful? It rolls of the tongue like a melody. I suppose that's fitting, considering the Lorelie is a Germanic Siren. The Siren: supernaturally gorgeous women with voices impossible to ignore, who lure men to their deaths,… Continue reading Mythic Monday: Lorelie and the Siren
Mythic Monday: Minotaur
Tonight's post is brought to you by request of a certain super awesome security dude/friend/geek extraordinaire. We're going back to Greek mythology tonight for one of the most iconic monsters ever. The Minotaur. I love this myth, because it's full of tragedy, horror, evil, physically improbable impregnation, and ultimately I can't help but root for… Continue reading Mythic Monday: Minotaur
Mythic Monday: Kelpie
Last week I talked about the tragic love stories embedded in Selkie mythology. In keeping with my current water creature theme, let's explore the dark side, shall we? I'm a fan of "monsters" in myth, particularly those whose natures reflect the darker aspects of nature. One of my favorites is the Kelpie. Sometimes called the… Continue reading Mythic Monday: Kelpie
Indeed, I’m not dead. I just feel that way.
In the past couple of weeks we've packed up all our shit, loaded two very anxious dogs into the back of the truck, and caravanned ourselves from Minnesota to Texas. Between the job I started the Monday after we got here and the living in-between-houses situation, I couldn't get my blog updated since we left.… Continue reading Indeed, I’m not dead. I just feel that way.

It’s a Stephen King Story…In Reverse
According to multiple news sources, a ghost ship full of rats is headed to shore.The Pied Piper is apparently returning his spoils. From Canada.I have nothing else to say about this except even if you're one of those people who have rats as pets, being overrun by ten bazillion small creatures of any type is… Continue reading It’s a Stephen King Story…In Reverse
SyFy’s Next Sharknado: CARNICORN!
Because who the fuck wouldn't watch a bad Saturday night movie with a flesh-eating-attack-unicorn?? People, it's goddamned genius: the ultimate symbol of innocence and purity ravaging a city with impalement carnagey death. Somebody who's not me and can actually write scripts: get on that shit.I wonder if the Snakipeder Army could defend against Carnicorn...hmm.Also, the… Continue reading SyFy’s Next Sharknado: CARNICORN!
I Scared the Legoland Clerks: Just Call me Darth Creepiness
I should not be allowed out in public. The other day I got to hold heads in the palm of my hand. Joffrey Baratheon would wet his pants!Clearly this is not a power I should possess...because after my initial snicker my first thought was "I need a bunch of these to put on toothpick spikes… Continue reading I Scared the Legoland Clerks: Just Call me Darth Creepiness
