I am all kinds of geekiness.
Pinned
Intro for newskis: I'm a Weird Old Lady and a giant nerd. I read a lot, I work in a library, I love horror and fantasy and science fiction, I knit and spin and I have approximate knowledge of many things.
(Yes, I am also the same Harmonyfb from the bird site and Livejournal. My horror is eternal.)
Last night I drank far too much champagne, and ate my weight in chocolate-covered bacon while chatting w/my best friend. That was awesome.

Also, I discovered that Manly's best friend's new wife is a huge fucking racist. That was absolutely NOT awesome. 😡

Next New Year, just me, Manly & my bestie.

We're about to head to Manly's best friend's house for our yearly New Year's Eve of eating snacks, drinking champagne, and running our mouths. Happy New Year to you all!

Tried a hair experiment where I layered my faded cherry-magenta with lavender, hoping for a Miss Havisham kind of new look.

Oh, it was new all right. Hideous pastel lavender with pink showing through, a first for me. I ran to Sally Beauty today to procure some dark purple to fix it. Dang. #HairWoes

Finally got around to watching "Weapons" today - it was really good. Not at all what I expected, and very scary. Loved that the big bad was so weirdly calm; it made the hair on my neck stand up, every time. #SpookyMovies

Thanks to everyone who recommended "Man Finds Tape" - I really enjoyed it! I do love a 'slighty-off-kilter' story that then careens wildly into WTF without explaining ANY of it to satisfaction. (Produced by the guys that did 'The Endless'; similar vibe w/more horror.) #Horrorwatch #SpookyMovies

My husband knocked it our of the park this Yule - Kaiju dress from Princess Awesome & long-wished-for Jack o’Lantern purse from La Femme en Noir. The third picture is the painting I bought for Manly Man from artist K.W. Heintz. #Yule

It's the end of the year, and time for my list of favorite reads from 2025! Bear in mind that some of them aren't published yet, as I have access to ARCs (but trust me!) I seem to have read an inordinate amount of parasite-related books this year. Huh. #Booksky #Books

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Week: #HorrorWatch!

Tonight's terror is a film I've never seen, but whose stills haunted me all through childhood. Join us for kindertrauma fun!

My fannish friends: I have come into possession of a jacket (at a thrift store, for $3) which is not my fandom, but which may be yours. Do you want it? Obviously I can’t get it to you this week, but I could send it next week. Size L (looks unisex). Give me a holler if you want it.

Bright blessings on the solstice! May the returning light shine brightly into every dark corner, burning away the festering evils there. From my lips to the ears of the Gods, hear my prayer. #WinterSolstice #Yule

Ten minutes until the pendulum swings, growing ever closer to... #HorrorWatch!

Tonight's fearsome foe is "Eyes Without a Face", a gruesome 1960 shocker about a doctor who does not give a fig for the Hippocratic Oath. Join us, or mute that hashtag!

As of right now, I am on vacation. Aw yissssss. I plan to spend the solstice baking and stuffing
my face. #Yule

Just got out of #DustBunny -omg what a weird, joyful, absolute banger of a film. Every little bit of it is fun and (if you like horror/dark fantasy) uplifting. And the cast! Uniformly great performances; no matter how small the part, they were all in. #SpookyMovies 🥰

Just over an hour till the best night of the week: #HorrorWatch! Join us (:distant whispers: join us, join us:) for the marketing cash grab that was William Castle's "Mr Sardonicus" (1961).

Stars Guy Rolfe, who was the doll-maker in "Dolls"! (& who also was in "And now the Screaming Starts!")

My first time joining in for #FolkHorrorFriday - we're watching "The White Reindeer", a Finnish folk-horror. Let the winter weirdness begin!

:flings self dramatically onto couch:

WHY am I forced to work instead of lying supine reading more books? Why must I put on grown-up clothes and go to work and TALK to PEOPLE like some kind of m-f ADULT? #LibraryLife

I'm going to go see Dust Bunny next weekend - anybody wanna go get spooked with me? #SpookyMovies

30 min left until the gates of the underworld yawn wide & release the terror known as #HorrorWatch!

Tonight's film is the 1966 "An Angel For SATAN". Alas, we can guarantee that the film will not live up to promises made in the title. BUT-it stars Barbara Steele, which will cover any shortcoming.

I snuck out tonight to pick up Manly Man's Giftmas present; I'm not going to say what it is b/c he sometimes logs in to Bsky, but just know that it made a small local vendor VERY happy indeed.

Now the challenge is to not spoil it because I am so excited to give it to him!

Trying to decide between shirts for my boychild. Can y'all help? Here are the two designs - which one is cooler? Are they both lame & my old ass just doesn't see it? I need data.

Apparently, our new tree lights have a Trans Pride setting. It has the dual purpose of supporting our friends AND making steam come out my mother’s husband’s ears. Win-Win.

Jury’s still out on whether it has Lesbian or Bi light schemes for our kids. #Xmas

Trying to summon the holiday spirit, but still yearning for the shivers of Halloween?

So for #HorrorWatch tonight, we're watching a new-ish (for certain values of new) flick with a stellar (see what I did there?) cast: "Sphere" (1998). Directed by Barry Levinson, starring Dustin Hoffman, Sharon Stone, Samuel L. Jackson, & Huey Lewis (from "Huey Lewis & the News", wtf?)

I went Xmas shopping at our local indie bookstore today, and I bought NOTHING for myself.

:bows elaborately: Thank you, you’re too kind. I credit my mother’s voice in my head, saying “We’re not here to buy for us”.
