Every battle heads toward surrender on both sides

[sovay]

Today was so failmade, discovering the Mountain Goats' "Lovecraft in Brooklyn" was almost its only redemption. A friend did send me some tentacle porn, however, and I have just received spam whose subject header reads "The Bachelor's Roseless Conclusion"—I'm sure it's a stolen pop headline, but I think it might still be the best title ever. At least a song by the Decemberists or David Bowie. When I am feeling a little less scraped out, I need to mention Milk (2008), Spirited Away (2001), and Fearless (1993), all of which I saw this week, and something about Edith Sitwell.

the Mountain Goats' "Lovecraft in Brooklyn"

Oooo, thankies!

Yes.

Sorry about the failness.

Fearless was an amazing movie, wasn't it? And Spirited Away, too. I haven't yet seen Milk.

"Lovecraft in Brooklyn" is good. Jonathan Coulton should write "Lethem in R'lyeh" for contrast.

I love them! Have you heard Thank You Mario, But Our Princess Is In Another Castle? It's amazing.

I'm sorry to hear about the failness.

I hope it's a better day for you today.

I've not seen the other two, but Spirited Away was lovely, I thought.

Yes, yes you do need to mention Spirited Away.
