Would you believe:

That could possibly be the absolute BEST "non-Tom Petty" Tom Petty song I have ever heard. Imagining TP & the Heartbreakers covering it is bittersweet.

I present figure skater Jenny Sand... Upside down!

Heh heh.

I'll see you and raise you:

Hahaha

I just now happened to zoom in on the contents of Chef's laboratory bottle.

You were another one whose posts I enjoyed and  thought may be gone for good when you quit posting. Did you know that your last post for quite awhile was almost exactly 9 years to the second of your registration?

I had assumed that was purposely done and that you would not break your almost perfect time stamps. In the end, you either decided that 11 seconds was not close enough to perfect, or you have proven Noory to be wrong. Perhaps there are, indeed, coincidences. Hell, your second last post at that time was  one ominous word- "CLOSED".

Realizing I could never get my hands on an Inverted Jenny, I pursued a different type of ultimate stamp.

Heh heh.

Some needed levity in a grim/sobering topic. I hate it he went out that way.

And I just now saw IO already mentioned plutonium.

My slowness.

Though he was a heavy smoker for years, he believes he developed throat cancer from a metal guitar pick he used to frequently hold in his mouth more than 20 years ago.“

To be fair, it was a plutonium guitar pick.

And very heavy - for desired attack and clipped harmonic squeals.

I haven’t seen it since it first came out but remember being somewhat impressed with it as a cautionary tale that almost no one will heed.

I agree. The relationship dynamics seemed accurate and believable IMO.  But for some reason the film went under the general public's radar. I mean, I do not recall even a temporary spike of curiosity.

It by no means sucked. Just lacking cinematically I think.

Explain.

Premise: had potential
Script: lacking
Acting: mixed
Flow: erratic

(Now, I may just be saying what I believe Alexa wants to hear. She is a harsh and jealous mistress. Heinlein's moon has nothing on her; Heinlein's story conceit positioned at the catbird seat of a gravity well not withstanding.)

Yep. Liked some of it. As a whole, not so much.

Basically, everyone who attempts the talking cure falls in love with their therapist. Freud said that our natural oedipal complex is transferred to the object of the therapist in this process. Now you have to go through the process of realizing that and gradually separating those feelings from reality. I’m surprised this wasn’t ever brought up in your sessions. You may not want to hear this but many believe that the goal of this sort of therapy is just to take someone from an out of control hysteria to a manageable everyday common unhappiness.

Whew. What a relief. I don't need to feel guilty about wanting to have passionate sexual intercourse with Amazon's Alexa.

My typewriters are manual and many need drawbands.  I need to get busy, especially on my 1926 Remington Noiseless desktop.

Speaking of low noise.

Robert Heinlein's typewriter with opened noise suppression case.

His wife referred to it as the baby coffin.

Back on August 26, I watched a documentary that kept the beast at bay throughout September.

I had never seen so many goddamned glorious typewriters on the screen.

Very much recommended for anyone sharing my sickness passion.

I guess Jack Torrance's Adler from The Shining won't be satiating then...

Every little bit helps.

Any QWERTY fix to hold onto my sanity until the next Selectric Sighting recharges my soul's battery.

I have to believe.

Going through a dry patch right now, but I know they are out there.

They have to be.

I dislike Selectric sightings air bubbles in the hydraulic brake lines of my nostalgia.

Desperation setting in. Rough counting under-miked stenotype machines in Perry Mason episodes. The court reporter resembles a nursery ant delicately tending to a larva.

Every so often, Mason requests something to be stricken from the larva.

I'm losin' it, I tell ya.

I can't go on living in a world without Selectrics.

And tonight... Groceries!

That is my favorite Robbins novel. His be(a)st IMO, though many cite ECGTBlues as the top.

You read Still Life, odds are high you're going to break some synchronistic beams. Not so much with Cowgirls.

Not just a fortune, but lucky numbers.

But that's not the only extra.

Learn Chinese?!?!

Words and accompanying ideograms!!!

I am so - how do the young people say?

So gelatin.

This revelation alone - micro language lessons - justifies the creation of this topic.

You're right.

I'm acutely aware of when the herd is about to turn and attack.

I've escaped sixteen cults.

Which I started.

I tend to think she was...but that could just be wishful thinking.

My private correspondence with LV was one of my favorites to materialize via bellgab. Mabuse's and Eddie Coyle's missives also rank high.

LV fed my writer's ego. The stranger, more overly textured I described some esoteric setup/adventure, the more she enjoyed it, while, I'm sure, other Bellnauts were wishing I would just STFU.  Haha

It's out.

I had a massive dolly. 12" balloon tires and as wide as the freezer. But because of the size of the tires it makes you lean it way back so that you pull horizontal up the stairs instead of lift. And the "P" handle makes it so that it will not slide if you push from the bottom. That said, if you ever require a full size fridge delivered to a beach party, I have the equipment.

I put the freezer on a car ramp balanced on a moving dolly and pushed it onto the second stair up. Then managed to "roll" it up the stairs. Yes, I balanced a freezer on a rubber car ramp balanced on a small 4 wheel moving dolly. I'm sure that there is a special injury reserved for people like me...

The freezer was hiding a bottle of Merlot behind it. I should be drunk posting within the hour...*

*Damn it! 2007 Shiraz! That is really not meant to age- but I will drink the rather boring, flat, uninspired bottle.

Well, we finally have indisputable proof of how those pesky pyramids were constructed.

Except for the as yet to be invented wheels of the dolly...

Perhaps the Egyptians used a modified  Dyson Dung Beetle Ball.

So, I guess I have to see this one huh? K.

Absolutely!

That moment when you discover that a lot of other people had the same idea to come as Sleestak to the Halloween party.

Interesting.  Apparently your freezer life form made it to Svengoolie tonight.

https://svengoolie.com/blog/we-kick-off-halloween-month-with-peter-cushing-trapped-with-deadly-man-made-creatures-on-the-island-of-terror

This film disturbed me as a child and I tuned in to Svengoolie tonight.

Unlike many married couples, I am still in love with this movie after all these years.

I still cringe during the amputation scene, and am shocked at the freefall attacks via tree and skylight.

A remake would be fun, to make the monsters' locomotion more believable.

I would want Giger-styled updates to the silicates using both big budget CGI and analog practical effects.

It would be a blockbuster.

Easily.
