I say, old chap

Capital!

Temporal Sledgehammer

Tomorrow it's September.

Ninth month on the calendar.

Yep.

It's about now that many retail stores start the Xmas countdown (some have already started).

Goddamn this year is going by quickly.

Oooh... shiny

I woke up strangely alert this morning. I'm usually still half-asleep by the time I make it into the office.

Good times?

Now the soul-crushing realization that it's only Monday hits.

I weep.

R&R

This has been a family-centric weekend, for the most part. For all that, it's been quite enjoyable. I'm fortunate in that I actually enjoy spending time with my immediate family.

They entertain me. They are often entertained by me. They understand me just well enough for life to be good.

They keep me grounded (and not in a "you're not going out for a month, young man" kind of way).

Good fun.

I'm otherwise halfway through watching LoveDeath.

To say this film is messed-up doesn't quite capture the essence of how deeply off this film is. Needless to say, I love it.

the weird

Dear Internet,

Thank you very much for this morning's offering of weird. I do realize you're not to blame for the sickening news of the abominable behavior of some monsters spawned by the human race.

This morning's perusals have shown some lighter, more entertaining bits of weird:

- this guy's home/bike
- a logical progression for furries
- fancy outfits

The eccentricity and humor does act as Pepto Bismol for the soul.

Thank you for allowing these lighter examples of weird to enter my day.

Sincerely,

me

What. The. F...

Okay... first we have the Austrian psycho who keeps his daughter in a high-tech basement dungeon, rapes her, and has multiple kids by her. He even incinerates one. He may have raped his grandkids too. Oh, and he might have had poison gas ready in the vents of his evil dungeon.

Then we have that psycho in Germany who kept a girl in a secret cubby-dungeon, also for his sick jollies.

Time passes and Jaycee Dugard resurfaces, having been held by batshit-crazy Phillip Craig Garrido in a compound near Antioch. He apparently raped her and had two girls by her. There's even suspicion that Garrido may have molested them. Oh, and Garrido? Convicted rapist on parole. Apparently he has conversations with God and thinks he's founding a chuch.

What.

The.

FUCK????

I feel nauseous.

This is just... neat!

Saw this on Neatorama.

I love stuff like this. It restores a bit of wonder to the world.
