Quote of the day

When man of slender visits you Nothing on earth that one can do In well he’ll hide, or watery hole And he will eat your mortal soul so if thou seest the man so thin pray you don’t see him again for he is not from world we know he cometh from far down below on his bed of dirt from grave from his dank and silent cave he watches you yet has no sight he taketh you away at night

I'm such a product of my media diet. . . it's interesting that you say what I do is observational. It's observational as far as it goes - to the extent that I observe media closely. Kriota might have a better sense of this. I don't always have the best sense of how human nature works, but I certainly know how to dismantle representations of characters.

I do try to compress a lot of information into what I do. It's funny.
