The best way I can describe this is "entry level House of Leaves," and I mean it both in the most complimentary way and with the most love for House of Leaves.

If the idea of exploring an impossible, possible sentient haunted house, told in fragments through"found footage" and supplementary material appeals to you, but House of Leaves was too far up its own ass, this may be your book.

Again, loved HoL, but the sheer density of meta bullshit is not for everyone (or for every book).

Episode Thirteen is the story of a reality "ghost hunting" TV crew exploring the abandoned mansion where scientists did paranormal experiments in the 60's. We get their story through raw footage, notes on production, messages, journal entries, etc.

The house is definitely haunted and everyone in the crew has their own theories as to what is haunting it (including the designated "skeptic," the physicist wife of the paranormal investigator husband). Obviously they're all wrong.

I enjoyed that the haunting wasn't aesthetically identical to all haunted houses (with the slime and the bloodied walls... You know the aesthetics of a haunting). I also really liked the character dynamics in this, both from an interpersonal perspective and from how they each approach the paranormal (and what tensions this may cause)

If you're in the mood for some psychological horror, definitely give this a read

hope nothing gets in the way of me seeing it!!

I'm using a 400mm-800mm zoom lens on a Canon Rebel T6S' crop sensor here; this super telephoto lens included a 2X teleconverter as well, but I didn't bring it since that's like seeing halfway into the eye of God themself. Nobody needs that sort of power

Aw heck aw jeez oh no

luna plz... your moonbase... everyone's having to adjust their exposure up a stop... graphics engineers are deciding to not multiply luminances by pi...

It's like everything's had the HDR effect applied to fit on a low-intensity display

Thank you to Camera Battery #1 for being an absolute champ, now it's time for Camera Battery #2

I'm going to pause my updates for a bit; things are happening fast!

WOW

I feel like I've just woken up from a dream

Our stopped clock technology is only in its infancy, but it's already reached an accuracy rate of two or more times per day, and there's no reason for us to believe that won't improve dramatically in the future

Haters and skeptics say that there's no evidence the technology can improve given the nature of the methodology, but with new techniques on the horizon (like running the clocks backwards really fast) our cutting-edge research suggests we can achieve hundreds of times as many correctness events as current models. And this is just the beginning 📈🚀🕙🙌

This is the same cat that:

• Needed a muzzle and three people holding her down to take an ultrasound. This is after getting some kitty Xanax
• Needed a second dose of anesthesia before it actually hit so they could do a scope on her
• Needed to be put under after surgery, simply so they could take out the IV and assorted tubes
• Was the only critter to have a divider in front of her kennel because she was so loud and would not shut up. Could be heard from the front desk.
• Broke the first cone they gave her (hard plastic) by hitting it against the side of her kennel

What I'm saying is she had a hard week but she gives as hard as she gets.

For the record she normally is Baby with me and Spouse and will not stop following us around just to sit on our lap the second we give her the chance. Also will start purring the second we touch her.
