Worth waking up for

The benefits of early morning swims are many, but the following should not be underestimated: returning from the pool to one's vehicle, and being bounded past by a tanned twenty-something athlete with legs up to her armpits, in rainbow hotpants, carrying a pair of spike patent-leather heels; the entire spectacle illuminated by golden morning light.

Whether the benefit of which I speak is that fine and carefree athletic carriage, or just the view, I shall leave up to the reader.

Ia! Ia!

Years ago I used to co-run Cthulhu Live.  Just so you know, this is what I always wanted to do.  See, aesthetically, I'm with del Toro, not Mignola.  Less is not more.  More is more.  Much more, that's even more.  And a building stuffed full of writhing Cyclopean insanity, that's even more than that.  (link)
