izmeina: creepy spooky old house infested with crawling critters (Haunted house)

It's funny. I had a sense of deja vu. I'm sure I've heard of the Strugatsky brothers before.

And then of course, I realised it was the most obvious source.

I'd always thought your quotes about happiness for everyone were inspired by Rammstein or Douglas Adams ;)

Sadly, the Lair is a sort of unofficial alien Zone.

While Qualityland & Nostra Vita have prime real estate shelf space, I cannot say the same for "Monday begins on Saturday" which you sent me, nor for those Japanese language books that I was supposed to send to you.

I got as far as the "house" in the woods where the NITWITS live.

Since then, I have made a very visible out box for gifts so I don't manage to lose any more books or trinkets.

I think I may need 9 lives to finally get all my shit sorted.

The book that actually triggered my clutter awareness was Carl Sagan's "Demon Haunted World"

My sister's visit in late 2023 was the icing on the cake

I remember buying it at the charity shop and even reading the first few chapters before it vanished into the Zone.
