Following the events of last Wednesday I've been online all day doomscrolling to the end of the world ... anxiety fueling anxiety, trying to find the latest news... like at the beginning of Covid, it's a train-wreck and you just can't look away. That Viking guy got himself lost on the way to Shambala, can't eat in prison because they won't serve him organic foods, the hilarious juxtaposition of absurdity and entitlement, the Trump supporting cop killed by Trump supporters, man killed by tasering himself in the balls, the clusterfuck of dark comedy, a most fitting and predictable end to 4 years of Trump, and this quiet now before the inauguration, it's got me suspicious, a little too early to be popping one's head out of the trenches yet I think...

Hadn't watched, bored, was curious. Coco, loved the animation, amazing. The stories - both of them, so formulaic and feel-good that there's no real point reviewing, but the animation was something else.

Now, it came to my attention that other people have been using my catch-phrase "A six-pack of gerbils"... and I just wanted to clarify this is mine. Mine, mine, mine, it started here first.

An in-depth look at the mythology behind were-wolves. "A pleasant companion" to previous readings on the topic by Montague Summers. Imagine my surprise when - the entire book - not a single mention is made of that illustrious sleuth of the right-minded church!
Anyways, on it's own merits, brilliantly researched, approaching the myths of lycanthropy through classical writings, psychiatry, cave art, old trial records, etc, etc. All in all an enjoyable and informative read, by a slightly more discerning mind.
