Staring at the gray and gloomy skies, realizing that I'm still exhausted from last night's game (and I just watched it on TV!), and thinking: "BAKING TIME" Or we must have cake: rosemaryjones.blogspot.com/2016/01/glut...

And there is still Northwest Film Forum in the neighborhood! Yay for the reminder. But the three commercial theaters of my youth, all on Broadway, are now gone.

End of movie theaters in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. Understand why it had to close but a little sad.

Last time I moved, I paid professional movers. I even suggested adding an extra person to the team. They said "Nah, you have a small apartment." Then they carried all the boxes of books. By the time they unloaded at my current place, one guy told me "Lady, you own a daunting number of books."

I had a great time discussing what makes a Gothic novel at Flights of Foundry. I put my thoughts about vibe, as opposed to plot, being the defining characteristic of the Gothic in the following article: rosemaryjones.blogspot.com/2025/10/goth...

Still listening to Worldcon 2025 panels while doing boring chores. Loved the "Women Write" panel. David Hook did a follow-up blog article detailing a number of authors mentioned...and several missed. Helpful for the TBR pile. adeeplookbydavehook.wordpress.com/2025/09/04/w...

Has anyone considered “It’s a Small World…”. If that is too scary, I recommend “Bye, Bye, Bye”

If you made a horror movie, what extremely upbeat pop song would you want slowed down and creepified to play in the trailer?

If this isn't the opening line of an amazing fantasy novel, it should be. Off to research chaffer.

Drifters (1929). #SilentFilm

Intertitle from 1929 film ‘Drifters’ which reads “And the sound of the sea and the people of the sea are lost in the chatter and chaffer of a market for the world.”
