Frankenstein Day, Goth Stuff

It was a quiet Frankenstein day. Drove to get the cheapest eggs in RVA. Spent the rest of the day selling some of my Victorian mourning collection.

So far I’ve sold five coffin plates, and I’ve just listed a set of gorgeous foiled seals:

This is just one of ten different seals. They are soooo pretty. If you’re interested here’s the auction.

I also have a copy of The Alleyman’s Tarot up. More of my spooky things will be going up over the coming weeks. Watch this space.

I meant to visit a cemetery, but my energy is very limited these days.

Okay, this isn’t spooky. Not even a little. But since this has become my main blog, this is where I’m putting it. Pbbbbt.

I now have three wildly different YouTube channels that really satisfy me creatively. I’m at capacity, so this will be the last one. I just had this idea I couldn’t pass up: an old-fashioned weblog, where you share cool links–but for YouTube. Yes, this channel exists solely to point to other channels.

I have always loved helping people discover new things. In my 20s in Portland, Oregon, I was the person who knew all the cool shops, and where you could find just about anything. Legal, anyway. I’m useless when it comes to crime.

Here is the thing. I hope you find something new to enjoy. I have a lot in the hopper, on all different kinds of subjects. Spooky stuff included!

Old and Spooky is LIVE

About a year ago, I started working on a bunch of stuff. Among them was a retro-horror channel called Old and Spooky, where I would discuss 20th century horror. I was almost done with my first video, when disaster struck. Disaster named ADHD. I accidentally deleted my data, and thanks to Microsoft (it’s complicated, but they suck) I could only restore a tiny amount.

I was devastated. I couldn’t look at it for months.

Then I started My Messy Desk, which is a whole lot of fun. Problem is, there’s a lot of downtime while I wait for things to dry or cure or whatever, and I don’t have much else to do. I decided to work on Old and Spooky during that downtime. It felt great. It feels great. And now, the first video is out.

It’s about one of my all-time faves: Dan Curtis. If you don’t know who that is, I bet you do know Dark Shadows and the Kolchak movies, right? Well that’s Dan Curtis.

Here is my inaugural video. My reading is a little stiff, but that will get better with time. Overall, I’m pretty proud of this. *flexes*
