Firstly, my second article for the [adult swim] website is up! It's about H.P. Lovecraft's stories and the "Dead and Dreaming" art show in Philadelphia. I read about 200 pages of H.P. Lovecraft's stories in less than two weeks for this article because, though I had dabbled in Lovecraft in college (no, that's not innuendo), I needed to refresh my memory and get acquainted with parts of his work that weren't just about the octopus-headed monster Cthulhu. That pace of reading was like college again, except the work I was doing this time would eventually lead to money, as opposed to the four years I spent in college. Also, I think reading that much Lovecraft in that short a period of time would've driven a lesser man mad.
Here's something to whet your appetite for Lovecraft (again, not innuendo):
"Many conversations about Lovecraft begin with Cthulhu. Deep beneath the inky depths of the ocean lies the ruined city R'lyeh where IT sleeps in a death-like state, haunting the dreams of all mankind. IT, of course, is Cthulhu, a behemoth alien from beyond the stars."Another thing that was kind of exciting was I got to cover the contract-signing ceremony that made Bonus Car Wash in Santa Monica the first unionized car wash in the country. That's kind of a big deal. Also, I thought I took some pretty decent pictures at the ceremony.
Enjoy!
"Bonus Car Wash in Santa Monica became the only unionized car wash in the country Tuesday morning."
