Bring Your Own Raven

Tea: Chocolate Orange

Music: King Crimson, "Indoor Games"

Time: Night.

Heavyish posts the last couple of days. With the inauguration tomorrow and MLK Day today, the blogosphere is already serious enough.

(Not that that's a bad thing.)

But tonight, I'm in the mood for something lighter. I am in the mood for ...

Edgar Allan Poe. It's his birthday, you know. The big 2-0-0.

So, I'm going to log off and read for a bit. I have a book with all of his stories and poems. You should, too.

But in case you don't, here's a bit of bedtime reading from the master:

MS Found in a Bottle

Duh nuh nuh nuh NUH nuh nuh

Tea: Mandarin Orange with eucalyptus honey

Music: Dresden Dolls, "Coin Operated Boy"

Time: Night.

Apologies for the absence. But I'm back.

And it's my birthday. (No, I'm not saying how old I am. Let's just say it's a caliber.)

I have much for which to be grateful and thankful. I have been well fed, well loved, well spoiled.

And nobody sang to me in public. This is a good thing.
