henna day post

[gwynnega]

I am hennaing my hair on an autumnal LA afternoon. The political situation continues to evolve in alarming and surreal ways. It's shaping up to be a very strange holiday season.

I finally finished reading the wonderful Shirley Jackson: A Rather Haunted Life, which I began before the election. I'm not sure what I feel like reading next, which is to say I'm not sure what will keep my attention off of politics for more than a few minutes at a time.

I probably should be watching a lot more horror movies.

It's like watching a slow motion series of enormous collapses …

Punctuated by occasional bursts of hope.

I've heard worse plans.

I think it would be helpful.

A Vincent Price marathon, perhaps?

That sounds excellent.

A Rather Haunted Life was wonderful, wasn't it?

I have no words for what's going on in politics. Other than "What the fuck?" anyway.

I loved the Jackson biography.
