lovecraftian alien threesome

Well, I got Journalist. Which is okay, but I really wanted Cardsharp. So now I’m going to have to do it again until I figure which answers will get me the result I want. Because what else are personality tests for if not to tell me what I want to hear about myself?

As a librarian (some of the time), can I please just echo the ‘no we don’t want your national geographics/old textbooks/outdated editions of Encyclopedia Britannica circa 1978’. What do you think happens to the after you give them to me? Straight into the recycle. So, you know, feel free to cut out the middle man.

Am with you on that. From way back before the Internet and everything.

I really should read more comments before posting, as I just posted this.

It was a first date. He said he loved horror films. Cool, so did I!

I grew up by the beach in Australia and we were told to look out for blue ringed octopuses when fossicking around rock pools, and ‘don’t step on them if you see one’.

Oh my. I hadn’t heard she died. She was one of my writing heroes and helped define for me the kind of dark rich fiction I’ve always aimed to write.

God yes. This. My partner’s a wedding videographer/photographer. The number of “you can alter that in post, can’t you?” comments he gets is gobsmacking.

Have to say, when I saw the title, I immediately thought: Carter, Bettleheim, Zipes. So glad to find those three one after the other on the list.

Oh god I’d forgotten this even existed. I’m trying to tell myself the sheer dumbness is part of its charm, but, um, it is *very* dumb

The first Discworld I read was Equal Rites back when it was newly published. I think I was around 14 and I adored it. Pratchett quickly became the only author I’d buy any new book from without even reading the back of the cover, because I knew I’d love it regardless.

I know Kevin Morgan, I interviewed him and wrote a couple of articles about this case as a student. Its an amazing/awful tale of trial by media, failed policing and the ultimate miscarriage of justice. Kevin’s book - Gun Alley: Murder, Lies and Failure of Justice - is definitely worth a read.

The writings of CEW Bean are an interesting study. In Australia, our whole concept of national identity can in a large way be traced back to his descriptions of the ANZAC soldiers, but there’s some evidence that he was myth-making right from the beginning and his war diaries were as much propaganda as reality.

I like dark and brooding. I like so-powerful-is-practically-a-god stories. I like crazed-out-and-conflicted vigilante stories. Hey, I even like Ben Affleck.

Oh god, now I can't stop thinking that from Chewie's point of view, Han is like a faithful old Labrador

Sometimes I hate living in Australia... just sometimes... *sigh*

I saw this as a ‘first date’ movie. Hey, he said he liked horror and I took him seriously on that when choosing the film. The fact he came out of the cinema looking green while I had a grand time watching it was probably an indicator that relationship was never going to work, heh...

I watched Snowpiercer on my laptop with headphones in while my 3 year old watched Dinosaur Train episodes on the TV. Talk about a weird disconnect every time I looked up from one screen to another.

Agree on this - I haven't even seen the latest ep yet, but it was clear from the cliffhanger ending of the previous that a reset was going to happen. You have an episode in which several very big story-changer events happen - Barry & Iris kiss, Barry reveals to Iris he's the Flash, Wells is exposed, and Cisco, one of…
