I just rewatched POLTERGEIST for the first time in years. All I'm going to say about it is that if you want to see a truly frightening suburban horror film watch Demián Rugna's TERRIFIED. Yes, there are subtitles. Suck it up. It's on Shudder and AMC+.

Work music for this evening: Alio Die & Zeit's album Sunja. It's brand new to me. How did I miss it for so long?

Thank you. Titan always does good work.

If you're a writer, it's more important to keep books you hate around than books you love. Books you love have already taught you what they can teach you. Keeping books you hate nearby will teach you what to avoid and can bolster your confidence. "If this crap can get published then so can I."

The axe will fall here soon. I worked for them a couple of times and they were among the cheapest, shittiest clients I ever had.

This is brutal. MTV introduced me to so many bands I would have never known about otherwise. 120 Minutes was a big part of my youth. It's where I first learned about Pere Ubu, Diamanda Galas, Wire, and on and on. And it's where I saw my first Tom Waits video. What a loss.

Sicilian Almond Cookies from Pitango Bakery. They're a small Baltimore company, but they have a website where you can get them mail order. And these cookies. I would lure you into a tub full of ice and sell your kidneys for these cookies.
