Super thankful that I’m in the middle of reading The Windsors series by Catharina Maura or this power outage would be less than ideal.

Power went out for 5 hours so I read by candlelight. How relaxing.

View of an advertising card for F.E. Smallidge, depicting a young woman reading a ghost story by candelight. Printed on back [in part]: "The ghost story! The moral of this, the sixteenth card of our series, is that, if young ladies would avoid creating a scene, similar to the one the artist, Mr. R.W. Buss, gives us in this admirable picture, they had better forego reading ghost stories at bed-time. Presented by F.E. Smallidge, 701 Jefferson Avenue, Detroit, Mich. The Major & Knapp Lith. Co., N.Y." Includes description of Dr. Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge and Dr. Jayne's Sanative Pills.

The Treasure of Abbot Thomas (Lawrence Gordon Clark, 1974)
“‘The Treasure of Abbot Thomas’ (1974) is the most ripping mystery of the bunch, starring Michael Bryant as a theologian who teams up with a young posh protégé to try to uncover a treasure allegedly hidden on the Abbey grounds. Bathed in blue and black hues, with the chameleonic Bryant practically unrecognizable from both Girly and The Stone Tape in the years previous, the adaptation moves the action from Germany to Somerset’s Wells Cathedral where it incorporates the famous 14th century stained glass 'Jesse Window' as part of the mystery. [...] The stained glass operates as something of a map, with clues leading to the Abbot’s treasure, which (as in A Warning to the Curious) is guarded by a supernatural being” — Kier-La Janisse, from Yuletide Terror: Christmas Horror on Film and Television (2017).

this will be scrapped too.
things get lost, data degrades, and all returns to dust. but still these words exist, in defiance of entropy, bright against the endless dark. dust can be shaped into a mighty castle, standing strong for many years before it finally crumbles back to dust, but not unchanged and certainly not without changing what's around it. imperfection IS perfection in a finite world, when we have not the time to reach it. even extremely flawed creations are still valued, still beautiful in their own unique way, for however long they last.
this will be scrapped too.
