Yeah, I think I've finally settled on an avatar now.

Not sure if you mean that in a complimentary or mocking way (or if there's any difference), so I'll just smile and pretend you like me. 

Sounds like you're in for a miserable life. Good luck with that.

Yeah, I tend to be a "glass is half empty, but the world is ending and soon there won't be enough living left to bury the dead, so who cares" kind of guy.

it'll all be over soon

If the psychotically self-and-everything-else-destructive cave-apes that overrun this planet have anything to say about it, yes, it will.

I mean, you can only laugh at watching the monkeys kill everything for so long before it stops being funny and goes back to just being horrifying.

The King in Yellow is an odd little collection.  The first half is pretty good, imaginative, supernatural horror ("Repairer of Reputations" is pure gold). Then the stories just turn into accounts of the lives and relationships of a bunch of artists and scholars, which is fine, but if you're gonna meander, fucking meander.  That random switch midstream just kills any momentum or mood that the horror stories may have generated.

EVERYTHING is funny, if you're looking for the joke.

I find that hard to believe. I know there's horror to be found everywhere, but humor . . . humor is a rare commodity.  There's really not a lot out there that's funny, more's the pity.
