Sundown
Things I Love Thursday, October 22nd
Gas masks; abandoned houses; cemeteries at night; cryptozoology; tiny sailboats against a stormy backdrop; foxfire; reconstructed dolls; snagging a rad black dress for $1; skulls; creative jack-o-lanterns; clunky doorknockers; cocoa butter; the sunset reflected in a window; pinstripes; the sound of coyotes howling in the field next door; Hunter S. Thompson’s photography; fairy tale retellings (“Snow, Glass, Apples” by Neil Gaiman is a favorite); black boots; hot chocolate; surprise food in the mail; laughing at the costume selection in Wal-Mart and wandering the aisles in what I think was an ogre mask; chipped nail polish; BLT sandwiches; sweet iced tea; new neighbors.

Inside Out
Dusting off the cobwebs and applying a new coat of paint. I’m still not happy with it, but a four month absence is three months and three weeks too long and I needed to do something, anything, to take my mind off things.

Never fails to make me smile
• Scientologists banned from editing Wikipedia entries. The funniest part? Wikicourt.
• Tweet the Meat is my new favorite twitterzine.
• Ten of the greatest moments from Leno’s run on the Tonight Show.
Old news, new post.
The shot above was taken on our trip down Three-Legged Lady Road in Columbus, Mississippi. Locals claim to have seen a tractor cruising through the woods in the dead of night and a disheveled woman with three legs who runs alongside your car until you reach a set of train tracks. I saw none of these things, tracks included, but I did see a lot of standing water and graffiti. Oh, and one squirrel.
Entertaining links from the past couple of weeks:
• Rain in Spain shows traces of cocaine.
• The Icarus Project is an organization of 8,000 individuals living with and embracing mental illness. I love the accompanying artwork.
• Burglars flee from woman wielding a bowl of chili and a broom.
• American Idol finale reaction videos: 1, 2, 3, 4. ‘Course, nothing will ever beat last year’s.
