I post gloomy things!

sephardic and I saw Communion(1) last night. Most of the movie is surprisingly good(2), if you can forgive the dated effects. The Clapton soundtrack is a bit much, and the MOMA-framed monologues near the end are difficult to endure. I still think it's worth watching, though, if you've ever been interested in the whole Hopkinsville Goblins/Greys thing. (I am, because I lost so much sleep over that shit as a kid.)

1. I read parts of the Strieber book when I was in the seventh grade. Terrified myself for years. Had I seen this movie as a child, I would surely have died.

2. Christopher Walken is a god. A GOD.

You know, I get in a funk, and I can't really write anything. I don't want people to get the wrong idea, I don't want to nauseate folks with my angst, I don't want to wallow over the keyboard. There has been no change in my circumstances, apart from the passing of time. I'm looking for work. I feel depressed. I've fallen off the Earth, because I'm in the red, and it practically costs money to step outside.

This is here because I think it goes well with my current irrational miasma, and because it's so very wintery outside:

This great evil: Where does it come from? How'd it steal into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from?
Who's doin' this? Who's killin' us? Robbing us of life and light. Mockin' us with the sight of what we might've known.
Does our ruin benefit the earth? Does it help the grass to grow, the Sun to shine?
Is this darkness in you, too? Have you passed through this night?
