Your former glories and all the stories dragged and washed with eager hands

Three different people this afternoon sent me this article about the drowned and dredged intaglios from the fort of Uxelodunum: "Ancient Romans Dropped Their Bling Down the Drain, Too."

Just now, I discovered that Garbage had lent their glitchy wall of sound to a cover of Siouxsie & The Banshees' "Cities in Dust," easily my favorite song about the excavation of Pompeii.

They pair nicely.

This one about Carter's arc in season 3 of Person of Interest. There's a lot I would change if I made it now, but I still like parts of it.

(I never looked up the lyrics, so I didn't realize what I was hearing as 'liar's shrine' was 'Lares' shrine')
