I'm more or less checked out of imdb, though I've not deleted my account there and may return for the October Challenge or to host the December one I don't have much time/energy to watch films during the week and post there to the sort of standard I established for myself. I was feeling like posting there was more of an obligation than because I was really engaged in horror and weirdness and the community and I just wasn't having fun the way I used to. But I do still watch a fair amount of horror and weirdness and general trash and I do like to chat about it and the metal blog I follow and Facebook group I post in aren't entirely appropriate fora even though several members do dig similar stuff. So here I am.

In general BloodWank news, work is going swimmingly, it provides me with plentiful free books, reasonably stimulating tasks and lots of time to think in a cheerful, stress free environment. Working in a large publishers library with a small staff of sane, intelligent people and rarely having to deal with the general public is pretty much living the dream for me. Other than working and reading I've gotten back into going to gigs and not only have been blown away by the likes of Horna, Grave Miasma and Melechesh but have made a lovely music buddy and may go to Bloodstock with her and her friends.

Recent viewing has included Mad Max: Fury Road (wooooo!!!), Unfriended (not great but unexpectedly tasty at times), Back in Action and Tough and Deadly (Billy Blanks and Roddy Piper make a great team!), The Perfect Weapon and Street Knight (Jeff Speakman should have made more waves, he was fun) and Der Todesking (a little disappointing but worth it for the moments of visual poetry, gnarly knob chopping and a great score).

How goes the Universe here?
