Oh, that link is utterly, utterly fabulous! I thank you muchly for providing me with more procrastination tools to further squander my uni fees ;)

And I tried to read Lord Dunsany once. I was attracted greatly by the Waterhouse cover on the recent reissued publication, but had to give it up after I realised how far it was from the light, escapist reading I had expected. I think that as the wintry fog starts to limit my need to adventure, I should return to him with greater introspection and concentration.

Your sock monkey is so adorable! I feel like cuddling up to him and talking about him in an amusing, nerdish voice. Although, is that mermaid meant to be sticking out of his...ahem? Or is she just a floozy, ready, willing and able to jump into any vacant lap? :)

Also, John Vanderslice! I downloaded more of his songs at your suggestion and he's rawwwther sexcellent. Thank you for that recommendation.

Yay! I'm glad you like all that stuff. That link just kills me. I love the "La Calavera" picture with the skeletons with the banner AND the beelzabub AND....

The mermaid is just a floozy. She's sitting in his lap, the little wench! He's got another one attached to one of his paws. I made this monkey for my brother's now-ex girlfriend, but we are still close so I get to see him.

Sock monkeys are just so fabulous. I may have to go make one right now. I have been collecting socks!
