Death comes for us all (a melodramatic haiku of retirement)
Alas! this blog is
no longer where it is at.
Onwards! (Back to home.)



guts and garters

It's all fun and games until someone loses molecular cohesion.

Search of the day: goblin
Results:
Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) - Goblin Market: Morning and evening/Maids heard the goblins cry/"Come buy our orchard fruits/Come buy, come buy." Fantastic and inspiring opening right there. I recall the author's name from another time, and I rummage through my poetry notebook until I find the source of my memory: "Remember" by the same author, finishing with the more traditionally soul-stirring: Better by far you should forget and smile/Than that you should remember and be sad.
Orange Goblin: The marginally psychedelic site of a British band whose members are... well... "five ardent fans of Doom Rock and Metal [who] got together to play their music the way it should be played.... under the influence!!!" I'll say no more.
Goblin Shark, Mitsukurina owstoni: Large and scary fish-type things. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water... It's a pretty colour, though.
