I remember how they took you down

[sovay]

I need to start writing things down again. I seem to have slid back into the state where I consider all my thought processes pointless. I am curious to try—not Twittering, but posting more of the stray ideas that cross my mind, writings that strike me, meme-answers that I owe friends from months back, just to see what I have at the end of the day. I'm sure a substantial amount of trivia, but probably not as much as I believe. Meanwhile, I am off to watch another batch of Avatar. This post brought to you by the thoughts Can anyone recommend novels by Charles Williams?, What I wouldn't have given to see Ernest Thesiger play Andrew Ketterley, and My God, I just cut my tongue on a cough drop.

I've read a couple of Williams' novels - used to have a housemate who was a Williams obsessive, indeed - but that was a long time ago, and I'm not even sure which ones they were. They were powerful, but left a rather strange taste in the mouth. Quite apart from the issues with women, etc. (see Lewis's That Hideous Strength for a Williams-saturated novel that has even more of those, but which I quite like), he seemed almost too, how I shall I put it, wholehearted in his depictions of evil. Suck it and see, but don't be surprised if it cuts your tongue.

I think you just won this post.

Thank you.
