Half an hour to the start of the October Vincent Price binge on #Monsterdon. Tonight will be House on Haunted Hill (1959). Queue it up on Tubi and join in!
Hm, slow refreshing of my instance tonight, so my #Monsterdon toots might arrive sluggishly. But I’m excited about viewing tonight’s screening: The Dunwich Horror (1970). Queue it up and join us in 15 minutes!
It’s an hour and half till tonight’s #Monsterdon screening: Journey to the Center of Time (1967). AKA Time Warp. Click it on the hour for free on Tubi and live toot along with us!
Still craving to see Giant From the Unknown (1958), so I’m going to have to watch it without the #Monsterdon crowd. Come on--a giant 500-year-old Spanish conquistador! Will report back, but here’s a taste of what you’ve abandoned: “With a big, booming and dramatic score by Albert Glasser, superb acting, and a menacing villain, Giant From the Unknown is a solid entry in the sci-fi and horror monster movies of yesteryear.” https://www.reddit.com/r/HorrorReviewed/comments/kul6hr/giant_from_the_unknown_1958_scifimonster/

Had students competing today to counter-interpret presupposition examples. I’ve used the pair of slides before, but never to such fervor. A really satisfying class session.
Rain. For the first time in over 60 days. The weather may finally be shifting into fall here.
Time to sit and think after a day of endless work email. Priceless.
In one hour the #Monsterdon screening will be Sting of Death (1966). That’s sting like jelly fish—students on spring break and a murderous jellyfish mutant! Start the film on Tubi at the top of the hour and ioin in the fun!

(Monday holiday edition)
a morning walk – outside! Cats, dog walkers, birds, flowers
a third load of laundry done
watching the funny, dark, and regionally accented How to Get to Heaven From Belfast
#Monsterdon starts in an hour and half, tonight viewing Night of the Comet (1984). An anniversary screening of the events depicted and so very 80s! But since I’ve seen it twice before, I’m going to bow out tonight and check out some Raumpatrouille Orion. See you next week, movie fans.
@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com This is a really interesting examination of the different goals of writing workshop participants. I benefited from a creative writing MA, though focused on poetry rather than fiction. (Also, Kevin Baconly, I believe at that same school I took classes from Rebecca Makkai’s father, linguist Adam Makkai.)

Followed a favorite jazz DJ from SiriusXM to KJazz, a California radio station. And from that have discovered a whole set of new hosts and great shows.
Pizza in the Breville oven. With kalamata olives and mushrooms. 👨🍳
Book club coming up this week, so I’m catching up on the selection, a cozy fantasy focused on a jam shop (The Spell Shop, by Sarah Beth Durst.)

Happy news of an accepted publication!
Four days done of a weeklong departmental event. Whew.
Floods in the morning. But clear roads on the way home!
