The Invisible Library

Tragic Beauty and other Narcotics

Apparently, Chuck Palahniuk has some pretty intense and scary fans. I’m not one if them. I just like his books. It’s not like I want to send him illicite narcotics or anything. This statement will make sense once you read the interview over at Suicide Girls. It’s too good to summerize but I will say that I agree whole heartedly with what he has to say about Goth Girls. They really are beautiful in a tragic sort of way.

He’s a Hypnotist, Hypnotist of Ladies

A female victim reported to police that on July 22 a man hypnotized her after asking her to help with a research project. He then “spoke to and touched the victim in an inappropriate manner,” according to a UP community crime alert.

Police knew of one or two similar incidents prior to the assault this summer, although the events might not be related, said Daniel McAleer, UP assistant chief.

And in a Library no less. So students, beware of men who want to show you their pocketwatches.

October Country

Officially, autumn started a week ago. But if you ask me, fall doesn’t get started until it’s October. Now, for the last eight years, I haven’t had autumn. I lived in Georgia where it goes strait from summer to spring with two weeks of winter in between. But this year, I’m in Maryland where it’s cool and the leaves are changing. That orange smell is in the air; that smell that resembles burning wood and wet leaves and the cold winter ahead. that is what I have missed. Wearing long sleeves and jackets.

I think I’ll go outside and take a deep breath.
