Fossilized spider webs of Pacific Northwestern orb weavers on porcelain.
Thanks, Wren!

Evil Landscape
Sands of old bones—the rattling wave’s
Dead-march, bursting noise on noise
Pale swamps where the moon consumes
Enormous worms to pass the night.
Dead-march, bursting noise on noise
Pale swamps where the moon consumes
Enormous worms to pass the night.
Stillness of pestilence; simmering
Of fever; the will-o’-the-wisp
Languishes. Fetid herbiage, the hare
A timid sorcerer, fleeing there.
The white Laundress lays outspread
The dirty linens of the dead
In the wolves’ sunlight…sorrowful
Little singers now, the toads,
Poison, with colic of their own,
The mushrooms that they sit upon.
- Tristan Corbiere
The Gift Of Pine
Pinecones, that is. Edible mini pinecones. It's a thing. I received a jar from my brother for Christmas.
As a man who has lamented that the world should offer pine flavored ice cream, it's pretty exciting to discover that a human being won't die from eating pinecones. And they taste just like you'd imagine: like tiny, sweet pinecones.
Really perfect for a cheese board.

Romulan Ale
Kirk:
Romulan Ale. Why, Bones, you know this is illegal.
McCoy:
I only use it for medicinal purposes.
I finally had the chance to try some Romulan Ale. My brother got these sweet gifts for Christmas. The lighter one is a fine vodka while the darker is a really pleasant rye whiskey. Wasn't expecting something this gimmicky to be that nice. And of course, the bottles are just an added extra.
Semi-related note: I shaved my sideburns into points like Kirk up there when I was in high school. They'll never go out of style, I said.

Misfits Take New Jersey
Saw this house while in Lambertville, NJ the week before Halloween. Such an incredible night with so many amazing houses. Will definitely get those photos up on the blog soon.

Now Playing: Extradimension
Sphäre Sechs (Martin Stürtzer & Christian Stritzel) returns with Extradimension, an evocative journey through dark space and otherworldly soundscapes. Recorded live using a Theremin alongside a collection of analog and digital instruments, Extradimension captures a raw and expressive energy, invoking the spirit of performance and creativity of these two musicians, who have been working together since 2001.
Really loving this entire album.

A Witch's Chant
Then here's for trouble, and here's for smart,
And here's for the pang that seeks the heart;
Here's for madness, and here's for thrall,
And here's for conscience, the worst of all!
James Hogg
Taking-Down-Christmas-Decorations Music
Pretty neat Halloween III music soundscape that's just perfect for undecorating.

Mummers
Mumming is an ancient tradition that is all but faded from the general population's memory and seasonal customs. It predates the tradition of putting on a costume for Halloween and other parties, and probably is the forerunner to our modern-day custom of trick-or-treating. If one is to look up the term "mummer" on Google, one would find mostly a mummer being described as a person who dresses up and puts on seasonal plays. But a mummer was so much more.
A mummer, according to Celtic and Nordic folk traditions, is not only someone who disguises himself to perform in seasonal plays, but he is also a being that walks between the worlds - between the mundane and the spiritual. This is why in old Scottish traditions the mummers on Hogmanay (New Year's) would travel to loved ones' homes and perform an old custom of what is believed to have been driving away evil spirits.
