Tree Lobsters, crawling crustaceans of the forest canopy

December 19, 2008 – 11:32 pm

Verily, our humble planet is jam-and-even-jelly-packed with natural wonders, if one only looks to the skies and the seas, our own true final frontiers. Truly hath it been said that the mysteries they contain would send us gibbering back into the eternal darkness, if we dared to attempt understanding.
The most merciful thing in the world, [...]

December 17, 2008 – 12:21 pm

William Shatner sings to whales.
Don’t ask me. I just blog this stuff.

So, is that what you call a podcast?

Quiz: which creature of the night are you?

December 16, 2008 – 12:33 am

Awww, they grow up so fast. I remember when she was no more malevolent than a fluffy bunny!
My favorite Q/A combo: 10 e:

If a tree falls in the forest, does anyone hear?
Is the tree on fire? Please tell me the tree is on fire!

I must admit, my Cthulhu Spawn score is shockingly low, but I [...]

Octopus Studios in the hood

October 29, 2008 – 8:03 am

Octopus Studios: I’m not exactly sure who they are. I’m not exactly sure what they do. I am, however, 100% certain that they have the coolest logo on the Downtown EastSide, and thoughtful of them it was to put it only a couple of blocks from my house. They must know I’ve been busy lately.

Whoa! [...]

The Casting Call of Cthulhu

October 22, 2008 – 10:31 am

Hang on to your Elder Signs: it’s The Casting Call of Cthulhu, the eldritchiest ten-minute comedy short you’ve ever seen. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll fear for your very sanity! But if you read this blog regularly, I’m sure you’re used to that.

Thirsty?

October 22, 2008 – 5:46 am

I bought some of the most interesting tea from Ten Ren the other day: lychee ball jasmine tea. I didn’t even know lychees had balls, let alone such big ones! And it’s beautifully Cthulhoid once it’s been steeped. The damn tentacles even writhe as if in pain! It’s like watching Jacques Cousteau’s Adventures in R’lyeh [...]

Beverly Hills Cthulhu!

October 18, 2008 – 2:57 pm

Actually, contrary to what it says over on io9, Cthulhu does not need a perky blonde sidekick. He already has me!
Jenna MacNipperson (Cameron Diaz) is a spoiled daddy’s girl on vacation in Cancun. When her island-hopping party boat runs aground on the ancient city of R’lyeh, she accidentally awakens the slumbering Cthulhu (voiced by Terry [...]
