20 minute overhaul for structural integrity... I will not die a novel death.
I will not.
Niggles and Mr. Nobody Fade Away
'Niggles and Mr. Nobody were my childhood imaginary friends. Niggles is the two-headed bird; Mr. Nobody is the irritated-looking man in the crown. He is angry because I grew up and forgot him, and now, he is almost gone. Niggles faces the same fate, but because he's only a bird, he doesn't have to know about it.'
I feel i may have posted this before but hell, it's so damn lovely it demands a second posting.
Live By The Sword, Die By The Sword
‘Suddenly in the midst of the sepulchral silence the iron lid of the coffin sprang open with a jarring noise, and the dead witch stood up. She was this time still more terrible in aspect than at first. Her teeth chattered loudly and her lips, through which poured a stream of dreadful curses, moved convulsively. A whirlwind arose in the church; the icons of the saints fell on the ground, together with the broken window-panes. The door was wrenched from its hinges, and a huge mass of monstrous creatures rushed into the church, which became filled with the noise of beating wings and scratching claws.’

'The telephone is threatening suicide,
Weeping shrill
As a jilted bride,
Trilling, I will, I will.
When has it ever lied?
Its black umbilical slinks
Into the wall,
It's listening in. It thinks,
Nudging towards the brinks,
We never call.
It wails in its cradle, look,
What we forsook,
Angry as cancer.
And we will never be off the hook,
And there's no answer.'
Hangup
When you wake up with your favourite Pearl Jam song in your head...
My third dutch oven loaf:
My first doughy disaster.
Just look at that crust.
It's perfect.
...
And i scalped it.*
A tip: if it looks as though your dough is going to stick to the bottom of the pan, don't lob it in anyway because "surely nothing bad will happen... right?"
...
Denial is not your friend when baking bread.
But.
Definitely.
It's obscenely good and so easy to make that not even i can fuck it up.
Taste-wise that is.
Aesthetically i'm a pro fucker-upper.
P R O.
See here for more bready endeavours.
*its doughy undercarriage isn't featured because it now resides inside mine and my family's carb-rabid bellies.

Tarantino gets all the glory for musical finds but it's the Coen Brothers that really have a direct line to the most fine of tuneage.
Now if only Shakey Graves would make his cover of O Death available i'll be able to take a minute to figure out what the balls was happening this week in Fargo.
Because what the hell?
Sunless Down
'Fairy tales are full of impossible tasks:
Gather the chin hairs of a man-eating goat,
Or cross a sulphuric lake in a leaky boat,
Select the prince from a row of identical masks,
Tiptoe up to a dragon where it basks
And snatch its bone; count dust specks, mote by mote,
Or learn the phone directory by rote.
Always it’s impossible what someone asks— You have to fight magic with magic. You have to believe
That you have something impossible up your sleeve,
The language of snakes, perhaps, an invisible cloak,
An army of ants at your beck, or a lethal joke,
The will to do whatever must be done:
Marry a monster. Hand over your firstborn son.'
