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.

My opinion on the "Wuthering Heights" movie:
Have you people READ the book? It's a terrible story full of terrible, toxic people that nobody should want to spend 2 hours hanging out with. I wouldn't have finished it if I didn't have to for a class. Stop acting like it's a love story! #NoSeriously

Tried to take a selfie, realized that I look *exactly* like all the great-aunts that I disdained in my youth because of how 'ugly' they were. Ouch. #SoberingMirrorToLookInto
Sorry, Aunt Aileen. (I am better dressed, tho. My opinions of the fashions/hairstyles of the mid '70s have not changed.)

I read TWO great books today:
"But Not Too Bold" by @hachepueyo.bsky.social - so spooky! Old One that looks like a giant spider & her house staff.
"Father Gaetano's Puppet Catechism" by @mikemignola.bsky.social & Christopher Golden - Creepy puppets, some pointed religious commentary. #BookSky

Finished "The Works of Vermin" by @hironennes.bsky.social, and it was stunning. Great worldbuilding, a society based on art (in a not-so-good way), perfumes w/magical properties, hallucinatory insects, body horror, political upheaval, queer characters, hell yiss. Kick-ass fantasy. Read it! #BookSky

Watching “Tron:Ares” at work (for the library movie day). This is terrible.
What I wish I was watching? Anything else. (We just shelved “Somnium”; why can’t I show that? SIGH) #Movies #LibraryLife

1. Patron says "I spilled something on this". Me: Is that BLOOD? (Yes. She "spilled" blood. She fucking HANDED it to me.)
2. Patron returns books with liquid damage, pages stuck together, stains, and MOLD. So. Much. Mold.
Not one, but TWO surgery-prep-level scrub-downs today. 😡FML #LibraryLife

Need soothing media to keep you from spiraling?
Currently playing “Strange Horticulture” (you’re an apothecary identifying plants, making potions & solving small puzzles).
Currently watching “The Residence” - a White House murder mystery set after the current regime, very light & funny.

My elderly baby meowed until I got on the couch with her; she’s periodically opening her eyes to make *sure* I’m still sitting here. I swear, it’s like having a toddler. #Cats

Half an hour til #HorrorWatch calls you to bear witness to the weirdness that is 1978's "The Visitor". Starring a cornucopia of White Film Guys (John Huston! Sam Peckinpah! Glenn Ford!) and bad-ass actress Shelley Winters. Fake snow! Explosions! Car Crashes! Be there or mute that hashtag, baby!

I have an unexpected day off today; when I stumbled out of bed at 11 am, my cat was absolutely THRILLED. She made me sit on the couch & is now happily snoring next to me. I had things to do today. Guess they’re not getting done. 😄

Half an hour until the theater of the darned (aka #HorrorWatch) raises its curtain to reveal the face of snarky horror! Tonight's film is "Reanimator" - a bloody, sarcastic '80s romp which will imbed flippant lines so deep into your brain meat that you'll be quoting them decades from now.
