Excerpt from The Midwich Cuckoos (or maybe Day Of The Triffids, I can’t remember) by John Wyndham: “It is not uncharacteristic to encounter adults who detest riddles. A variety of reasons may lie behind their reaction but a significant one is the rejection of the adolescent belief in answers. These adults are often the same ones who say “grow up” and “face the facts.” They are offended by the incongruities of yesterday’s riddles with answers when compared to today’s riddles without.”

Slimy snail on slimy pumpkin flesh. Slime on slime. Shiny as if on fire. Our snail is headed into the light. The best day of its life. Antennae determined and erect. No other snail has made it this far before. It’s all almost over. Everything’s been leading to this very moment

Wet jack o’ lantern with sharp sinister eyes and a wide thin grin. A few small jagged teeth. Like if Nosferatu was the Joker. Soggy Halloween

Two jack o’ lanterns side by side. One done up in an agonized Quasimodo style with Frankenstein esque stitches over one eye. The other is a winking Jack Skellington. Both sitting on pieces of wood on top of a bush. Because of the lighting it looks like two pictures put together but no it is just one. Happy Halloween

Mirror selfie. I’m holding a jack o’ lantern carved in an awe inspiring Quasimodo style with a smaller pumpkin for a bulging eye. I’m a beard glasses septum piercing. You know us. My mom keeps a nice bathroom

Closeup of my left hand, palm forward, fingers splayed. Blood pooling at the bottom of my thumb from a cut just above it. Two droplets on my middle finger as well. Breakroom sink in the background

I wish I looked like this
Dakota Fanning as Jane from the Twilight saga. Strawberry blonde hair tied back. Pupils as red as hate. A neutral yet still menacing look on her face. A black ruffled robe around her shoulders and I think a black cravat with a gold chain peeking through behind it

Steve Carell looking great in Foxcatcher (2014)
The papa vampire Eli Damaskinos from Blade II with waxy pale marble skin and dark sunken eyes. Wearing a very nice purple/brown velvet robe with a black fur collar. Kind of a candid sasquatchy on set photo

Tuesday
A line of blood curving around my thumb from a cut on the other side. My hand’s in a weird position. Looking dry and awkward. Shiny blood though

Thursday
Closeup of my hand giving a peace sign. A little blood smeared between my fingers, originating from a small cut beneath the nail on my index finger. My knuckles are very dry. Embarrassing

Hmm
I tried opening a can of Sparkling Ice+ Caffeine and the tab bent and came off without piercing the seal. The can is photographed from above. I’m holding the ineffective tab next to it. Fingertips looking clean. I’m glad I just clipped my nails the other day

A plastic fork on a woodgrain tiled floor with its tines severed and lying askew but still about where they should be. As if someone stepped on it and just left it there. There’s also a conical hole in the handle. I think it’s some sort of eco friendly plastic

Friday
Rudimentary smiley face dotted in blood on the back of my bandaged thumb. The eyes are full droplets and have yet to soak in. Background is blurry styrofoam bits and screws. It’s Friday

Hope this helps
Google answer: “Strangely enough, despite the disgust factor, no specific medical illnesses are associated with accidentally ingesting fruit flies or eating food that they have touched. Spoiled food and rotting produce can make people sick for several reasons, but not because of little insects.” Closeup picture of a fruit fly in the top right corner

You gotta be kidding me
“Completed” 3,000 piece Beatles themed jigsaw puzzle with two pieces missing in the middle. Animated Where’s Waldo style busyness depicting scenes from Beatles songs

Underwater image of a bigfin squid. Body like a battle axe. Tentacles too long. Looks like a giant spider doing a ribbon dance. Like a mechanical parasite. I hate it. Some blurry text in the top left corner

Lit up jack o lantern. Cheshire cat esque. Large blocky mischievous eyes, triangular nose and sinister smile that looks like a croissant or a bendy straw

What’s up with Tilda Swinton’s outfit in Constantine. Like bondage pants for horse girls. Hot Topic for pirates
Behind the scenes pic of Tilda Swinton as Gabriel in Constantine (2005). She’s crouched wearing flip flops, a white shirt, and crazy pants. Three crew members in the background looking tired and unsure

Sometimes my questions have answers
Brown leaf-looking bug with three legs and long antennae crawling on what looks to be a gray marble countertop, maybe concrete. “Three legged bug - Anasa tristis -“

Realizing one of my favorite pieces of art is technically a bored ape and stabbing myself in the neck with a big shard of glass

(Moebius)
Cover of Heavy Metal magazine from June 1977 by Moebius (Jean Giraud). Closeup of a simian fighter pilot’s face with an insouciant stare—all through a gun scope. Very detailed and colorful helmet with Seussian tubes, nodes, lights, and other circuit-like gizmos. A few other fighter planes way in the background. The title HEAVY METAL in that signature sloping style, bold and yellow. Absolutely mesmerizing.

Language was a mistake
Google answer: Use nonetheless when you mean “in contrast to something that happened or in spite of something said,” and use nevertheless when you mean “in spite of facts or time.”
