"The study of mythology need no longer be looked on as an escape from reality into the fantasies of primitive peoples, but as a search for the deeper understanding of the human mind. In reaching out to explore the distant hills where the gods dwell and the deeps where the monsters are lurking, we are perhaps discovering the way home."
–H. R. Ellis Davidson (GODS AND MYTHS OF NORTHERN EUROPE, P.22)
We're watching a very nerd-focused gameshow. The question is which of the things on the screen is NOT a Lovecraftian Mythos being.
Contestants and my husband: ...???
Me (howling with laughter): "Ble'Maer'Tybach" isn't an eldritch being! That's just asking where the bathroom is in Welsh with apostrophes moved around!
No one is putting points into that skill except whomever wrote the question and me.
I got the divination kit I supported on Kickstarter that is created by two people whose work I love and I'm excited that they worked together!
Also, I'm at a point in explaining how I read with playing cards that is moving past learning card meanings and into practice. I'll probably be talking about dice sooner than I expected.
I have successfully knitted my first sweater! Same techniques as one a human would wear, just a lot fewer stitches. #CoSoKnitting
#CoSoBooks The book I was trying to remember was "The Coelura"! I think I had just read "The Ship Who Searched ", so I picked up "The Coelura" when I saw it in the store.
#CoSoBooks , please help me remember the title of a book I read in the early 90s. SciFi/Fantasy novel. Pretty short for novels then. Paperback copy had a blue cover, and the title was in fancy iridescent letters. I think the story was about some kind of sentient iridescent cloth fabric.
The things I mishear give us great entertainment, though! The combination of obstructed hearing and delayed auditory processing often does that. It happens more often when hearing disappears on one side.
I still don't know what was said in a commercial last night, but it probably wasn't what I heard. "Chicken balls falling apart."
I periodically lose my hearing in my right ear because of other things going on in the right side of my body. It lasts for a few days, then I wake up one day and can hear again. It lasted for two weeks last time, though. Hearing disappeared on that side two days ago and I already want it back this time.
Just can't get to sleep tonight, so I took my ukulele to the gym. I don't want to wake anybody else up, and sound doesn't carry through the house from the gym.
I'm relaxing and my hands are just doing what they do with little thought from my brain. I've been playing "Margaritaville" I don't know how long, and there's a weird feeling. Why am I messing up these chords? I snap back into the physical present... there's a cat rubbing his head along the neck of the ukulele!
