Fuck and God damnit! Why, I ask, why did the publisher let Zod Wallop get out of print right now? And if William Browning Spencers Résumé With Monsters is anything to go by, why letting anything of his go out of print ever? He is a delight to read, even though I was not particulary fond of the typography in RWM from the start. But it got better — after all, it’s not everye day one reads a romantic boy-meet-girl with Lovecraftian monsters.

“They had both worked at MicroMeg, where they had met and fallen in love, and where, finally, the ancient, implacable curse that his father had called the System or sometimes, Yog-Sothoth or simply the Great Old Ones, had torn them asunder. He was here now to win her back, and he knew he had to proceed with caution.”
-- William Browning Spencer,
Résumé With Monsters (paperback p13)

Oh, and by the way, not because I think somebody have tried them before, but if so, the comment system is now fully functionable.

A friend of mine — yes, I have those too, as well as friends of others — recently borrowed my Top 10-album. The trade paperback edition of the everybody in this city is a superhero comic book written by Alan “Sinister Duck” Moore. So, this meant that I couldn’t read that one.

There is a few things one can do, one of these is to pick up another comic book. And as if that wasn’t bad enough, I seem to have replaced the Excalibur issue where Chris Claremont has Cat’s Laughing as a plot device. It is supposed to be here somewhere, but alas my comic collection is for the moment sorted after the chaos principle. It was in other words time for backup plan 2b. And that is spelled s-a-n-d-m-a-n. In this case it’s Fables and Reflections, which in turn leads me to Emperor Norton I.

As he in August the 13th 1869 — a Friday by the way — abolished both of the big political parties of United states of America, does this mean that only the presidents who are legitimate are those who isn’t a democrat or republican? As far as my knowledge goes, he never reversed his decree.
