Interviewer: What difference in usage would you point out in these three languages [Russian, English, French], these three instruments?

Nabokov: Nuances. If you take framboise in French, for example, it's a scarlet color, a very red color. In English, the word raspberry is rather dull, with perhaps a little brown or violet. A rather cold color. In Russian it's a burst of light, malinovoe; the word has associations of brilliance, of gaiety, of ringing bells. How can you translate that?

- Vladimir Nabokov, Think, Write, Speak: Uncollected Essays, Reviews, Interviews and Letters to the Editor. Bryan Boyd and Anastasia Tolstoy, Eds.

we had to have my cat Fluffernutter put down this evening. She was eighteen, which means she’s been around for literally half of my life. She was such a sweet girl.

My biggest problem with finishing things I write is an extreme love of world building. There was a fantasy story I started ten years ago, for which I no longer remember the majority of the characters, but I have a complex guild system and ideas about how they view textiles and grave goods.

The amount of shitty news coming out this week made me feel like this needed to be said, so.

For all the boys and young men currently afraid that being male means some kind of moral death sentence: the same world that produced Neil Gaiman and Donald Trump also produced Levar Burton, Steve from Blues Clues, and my (step)dad, who isn't famous but did look at a deeply traumatized child with a bunch of mental health issues and said "is anybody going to support that?" and then didn't wait for an answer. There are good men out there doing good work in ways both big and small. Choose to use your strength to help rather than hurt, your voice to speak for those who must be silent, and you can be one of them.

Be the man Mister Rogers knew you could be. He wasn't wrong very often, and he believed you could do wonderful things. I do too.

(Anyone clowning on here will summarily get their ass kicked and their blog blocked. Pain is pain and I know there are a lot of scared teenagers right now.)

Peter Cushing Hammer Horror movies are wild because it's always called something like The Hideous House of Blood Will Kill You and Peter Cushing plays a doctor in a sickeningly well-tailored three-piece suit and an even nicer coat, and he says things like "this creature is an entity of great evil" (pronounced ee-vil), and then Christopher Lee shows up in makeup and homoerotically chokes Cushing for a bit, and then the Female Character arrives and tenderly cradles Cushing's face in her hands in the aftermath like he's a precious wounded middle-aged baby bird even though nine times out of ten he's not even her love interest and her love interest instead is just Some Guy™ with the personality of stale supermarket brand bread. And then Cushing kills the monster in a creative kind of way, and later you read about the movie and it turns out that in the scene when Cushing's character is forced to drink blood, they used actual human blood. And it's no longer than ninety minutes long.

Love watching The Terror because I get to see the characters facing relatable problems that I face in my everyday life like:

Joint pain

Shitty coworkers

Migraines

Useless boss

Being so so hungry

Random unexplained bruising in places I don't remember hitting??? Like what's all that about??? Should I see a doctor about this???

The Frightening Creature
