I keep seeing posts about the importance of not supporting any Harry Potter-related projects and this is one of those things that makes me feel so out of the loop...I loved Harry Potter when the first book was released, when I was a kid, and gradually lost interest with each subsequent book. I have had no real temptation to engage in any Harry Potter media since the last movie came out and by then I was pretty much just done with the whole thing anyway, so by the time Rowling's shittiness was revealed to me it didn't directly affect my viewing or reading habits at all (not counting trying to avoid those still involved in the franchise). it feels so weird to me that this thing is still popular enough for this to even be an issue! there are so many better things out there, people...even putting aside the issue of who the author is!
#Draft2Digital is now charging $12 per year for accounts whose books make less than $100.
This is definitely a great business plan...for Amazon.
I've been dealing with some over-exertion lately so I decided to spend some time alone today just watching TV. I tried out a 1970s William Castle-produced anthology series called "Ghost Story" but which got renamed "Circle of Fear" by the end of its first season.
During its run with the former title, it's hosted by Sebastian Cabot as a man named "Winston Essex" who lives at what one would presume is a Victorian manor called "Mansfield House." He seems to operate it as a hotel, but details are vague. In the pilot, the ghost story directly relates to guests of the hotel, but by the first proper episode, "Mansfield House" now appears to be a modern, sunny resort, and there's no actual link between this framing device and the episode's story.
The story is about a forest ranger who accidentally kills his neglected wife in a region where "forest spirits" possess the dead.
Also, his TV depicts the future for some reason.
And sometimes, the past.
How do you prob a solvlem like Ramia
