Organize!

Two big things happened this last weekend. First is Bunny and I met with a mortgage broker. Looks like we are in a place we can afford a house. Now the hunt begins. My good friend gave me the name of a realtor to help us find that house. So if anyone knows of a house with a basement, a loft, and a few bedrooms for sell. Let us know about it. Second is my room was rearranged. My spatial ability is not that good, so I asked bunny how to arrange my room to do what I needed it to do. He did it and I'm so happy! The big thing is I now have a place I can read and listen to music in comfort. It's been too long since I could do that. I finished reading "Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath" by Lovecraft. Great story, but a bit dense at times. I really enjoyed it but I hate books that describe things in terms that are unimaginable. I personally can not see a temple whose shape is such that only unholy things could be practiced there. I can picture an evil temple, but nothing like what Lovecraft can say.

I actually find that to be some of the charm of Lovecraft's stories. Whereas Stephen King and Anne Rice describe things in such detail that you can't help but picture precisely what they picture, Lovecraft's open-ended descriptions let your imagination go wild.

If the author describes something scary in detail that just doesn't scare you, then it doesn't work. But if the author lets your imagination fill in something that does scare you, then it will work.

I helped out on making a animated version of "Dream Quest of the Unknown Kadath" and have a copy of the film on DVD if you would like to borrow it.

Glad to hear that you have your space re-aligned to suit you. I desperately need to do that to my basement and a good chunk of the rst of the house :( Maybe I will get to some of it this weekend.
