I haven't been working on The Collection these past couple of weeks, because I was 'sick' (I got a pill stuck in my throat and hacked and coughed for hours, which really wore me out), attended a convention, enjoyed the last warm-ish days for biking, and worked on reviving my personal website.

Urgh. I burped while swallowing my meds this morning, and one got caught in my throat and has been irritating it ever since. I've been coughing so much, my teeth hurt, and I just stayed in and slept from late afternoon until late evening.

I've been making progress on updating and improving my Hypnosis in Media blog site, setting up the caching system, culling the plugins and themes, and deleting old pages and rewriting others. I hope to start blogging there next week.

In my defense, I was left unsupervised, which is always a problem when I walk into a book store.

In other words, just about every over early MC Stories entry.

When I put this book into the catalog of The Collection, I decided to write about it. As it turned out, I already did.

This was one of my first blog posts, so its understandable that I more-or-less forgot it.

I have not been maintaining my Hypnosis in Media blog, and its developed a serious system error. It can still show the blog posts, but parts of the dashboard (like the plugin list) crash and halt, and the Pages other than the front page error out almost immediately. Not sure how to proceed.

I am looking over the books and stuff I want to write about, and some will need more indepth research and writing than what I would do here, so I am faced with dusting off my old blog. My last sporadic entries (with one exception) were from 2021.

Hey, look what I found!

I was going through a binder in the bookcase, and found the one "Give Me One Evening" ads with the female hypnotist. Granted, its not a very good image, and not the best source: its probably from a comic book from the 1960s.

"Love and Passion Under Hypnosis" from Playgirl Magazine, circa 1956-1957

It promises a lot but does not deliver. The enclosed articles on hypnosis and purported pictures of hypnotized women are both pretty generic, and the layout and production is low quality.

"The Two Ronnies Sketchbook" (1978)

My thanks to WTTW (PBS Chicago channel 11), who would show Doctor Who on Sunday night, preceeded by three British comedy shows: Monty Python, Dave Allen, and The Two Ronnies, and my parents, who got cable TV so they could watch the Cubs play on WGN (channel 9).

Ed Fitch "Castle of Deception" (1983)

Part of (and maybe the only one of) the Llewellyn Magical Fantasy Series, this is a pagan-intense medieval fantasy, with the central character being a witch-warrior tasked with cleansing evil from a mystical site.

It wasn't easy, and therein lies the tale.

Dunninger "What's On Your Mind?" (1944)

Joseph Dunninger (1892-1975) was a prominent stage magician / mentalist / hypnotist, creator of the "Hypno-Glasses", movie consultant, and debunker of fraudlent mediums, so I originally thought this was a compilation of stage mentalism routines.

I was wrong.

I have a pile of books beside or behind me that I plan to discuss here, then figure out where to put them, since the bookcase is overloaded already. Fiction and non-fiction, new or old, tangential or direct, they all have something that should be mentioned.
