"The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed, And the crack in the teacup opens A lane to the land of the dead."

-W.H. Auden

I'm still despondent over the loss of my dog, so this week's post is simply a list of the best* Led Zeppelin songs.

1. Four Sticks
2. When the Levee Breaks
3. The Immigrant Song
4. Achilles Last Stand
5. Hots On For Nowhere
6. Ramble On
7. The Wanton Song
8. In My Time Of Dying
9. In The Evening
10. Gallows Pole

*Subject to change at a whim
Feel free to argue amongst yourselves.

Rumor has it that my Internet will be returning next week, so Goddess willing, I will be back here, being weird and creepy again before too long.

We'll see.

R.I.P. Bambi, The Goodest Of Good Girls

Bambi taking me for a walk.
After many years of loyal and faithful service as a good girl, our beloved friend Bambi passed away this week after a sudden illness.

She's finally escaped that leash at last.

The world seems so much darker without her.

For Old Time's Sake...

...and to celebrate the most blog posts I've ever made in a single year, here's a picture of the abandoned McCabe-Carruth Funeral home in Victoria, Texas, circa 2003.

It's since been restored and made into offices, which - last I heard - no one will rent for long, because, well...you know.

You may not want to look too closely at those windows, by the way. No telling what might be looking back.

Feathers and Leaves

Just the usual, wandering downtown, watching the wind blow feathers and leaves on a cloudy afternoon.
