From forever ago, yes. But I’m just now stumbling onto it. And, is ’emoji’ the right word? Like, what are those little character-based happy faces people put in their texts? It’s all confusing to me. But this isn’t: The Shining, without words. Pretty cool. Wondering if I should learn whatever this language is (he said between telling kids to get off his lawn, yes), use it to diagnose slow points etc in whatever novel I’m writing. Like, if the skulls aren’t sprinkled evenly throughout, then I’m messing up . . .
thanks to Andrew Schwarz for this The Shining GAME. which is strangely addictive.

As Mr. Burns might say: excellent . . .
and now for something completely different . . . (that is, Lynch + King + Kubrick)

these comments aren’t . . . the best anymore. they displayed better in Disqus, which I had to turn off, alas. if/when I get time, I’ll see if I can re-do them. might just incorporate them all into the post, really. but: not at this exact moment.
