Ugh. House down the block was sold for 200k last year and is flipped on the market for 600k now. Zero connection to reality. I get cold calls & texts all the time from people who want to add my home to "their portfolio."

I feel like all the procedural shows and Bourne thrillers make the intel community (IC) seem a lot more competent than they actually are. CIA screws up everything 16 out of 17 IC agencies were wrong about Iraq. The Secret Service were openly drunk keystone cops throughout the Obama administration

Not you in particular, no. I'm talking Macross/Robotech fandom in general, at least as I've experienced it since the 80s. The ages were probably made to be as close to the target audience as possible. It's not like OG Star Blazers where IQ9 was constantly lifting Nova's skirt.

People give Minmay a lot of attitude for being immature but she's literally 15 when the series starts and turns 16 in ep8, iirc. Hikaru is 18, Misa ~19/20.

I will never forget the interview, shortly after Ozy Media Inc. was formed, where Carlos Watson said he named it after the poem, because "the lesson you take from [Ozymandias] is that you have to dream big." So that's why liberal arts education is important.

I could be projecting, or rewriting my own history. 😅 Looking back, though, a lot of the books and movies I identified with had themes, like Tetsuo the Iron Man, of body transformation or abandonment.

That's all fair. Anecdotally a certain amount of body horror/violence may be related to being unaware/closeted Bi/Trans. Without language to express identity in healthy ways, at least some of us, turned to horror to explore being in the wrong form. I avoid much of that same material now.

Poppy Z Brite us the penname of, trans author, Billy Martin. Lost Souls is the southern-gothic Gothic horror novel. At the time, every goth I knew had a copy of this book.
I love the rough-edged rawness of Lover's Bones. It's a perfect soundtrack for Poppy Z Brite's, contemporary gothic novel, Lost Souls. They were both a real vibe for me, at the time.

TW: suicide This episode of Eureka has an immolated man. There were reportedly several copies Lost Souls imbued with the smell of burning flesh. Story is they were in a book seller's PO box when a man came in and set himself on fire.

Just wanted to say reading this helps me out some this in perspective.

Ever have a song that makes you think of another song? Eureka's theme always triggers The Shroud's Where the Wind Goes, in my ear. It's not a complaint. The Shroud are one of the great Goth bands. I can listen to this eight nights a week.

I think it's that the whistle, right at the start, lilts similar to Where the Wind Goes. Right at the end of the whistle I hear "... no one can hooollld me." Every. Time.

Good choices. This is a tough question.

That was a great period because labels were pushing CDs so hard you could pick up vinyl for nothing. I ordered piles of deep-discount NEW records from Columbia House while never meeting my CD purchase requirement. 😂

Speaking of Bill Ward, here's my absolute grail piece from him. His original art for the 1979 Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, starring Torchy, Hawkgirl, Bullet Girl, Sheena, Miss Fury, Wonder Woman, Lady Luck, and Phantom Lady. It's WAY out of my price range, but still a joy to look at online.
