Random Quote
(Complete listing)My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race. I cannot, however, deny that it has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle eclipses with such care that in time they became able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others.

You've probably already seen this one- the artist reads your blog, I believe- but when can you ever get enough cephalopod hats?
(There's a jellyfish hat, too.)

Just a couple of weeks now to cephalopodmas and time for my next decoration attempt. This one's a (baby) decapod. I think it's rather obvious how it's made. I used my own pattern software to print the grid though before scoring, cutting, folding and sticking it manually. Eyes can be drawn on, stuck on or a mixture. To suspend it you only need a bead or small button to hold a thread going through the top. It's so light it could even hang from a twisted ribbon garland or paper chain.

Shouldn't the movie be called "Innsmouth" or something? "Cthulhu" is just too obvious.

In the trailer for Cthulhu, I'm pretty sure I recognized bits of Peter Gabriel's music from The Last Temptation of Christ, though I don't see his name in the credits for the film on IMDB. Perhaps the film's composer isn't done yet, so they just used Gabriel's score for the trailer.
