Torture

The Mother Unit and I seem to have similar taste in a lot of TV shows.  Right now, we're watching this doco called 'Ancient Torture Tech.'  We are total freaks.

Ironically, I watching it whilst lying here in my own torture device - a knee immobiliser.  Oh yes, I finally had to give in and go to urgent care about my knee.  They pulled fluid off it and send me home in this brace.

Toby is truly pissed off at me right now, because I haven't taken him on multiple walks.  And I'm not supposed to for the next few days, so he's gonna be well-acquainted with the backyard before all this is over.  Sheesh...

Now they're talking about The Tunica Molesta. I tell you, that Nero was a wicked, wicked man. But he was damned sexy when Anthony Andrews played him in the 80s mini-series A.D.. Oh, yusss.

All kidding and lusting aside, though, this show is pretty horrid. How a species can use its intelligence to create things like the Tunica Molesta and the Pear of Anguish, is beyond me. Yet another reason why we deserve extinction.

We were a very bad idea.

Cadmus on the Dark

This popped into my head a short while ago. It may be time to let the Pariah out to play. Someone may die.

"The darker the sky is at night, the more vivid are the stars. And stars are never brighter until they spin inevitably into the eternal death that is a black hole’s event horizon. You may judge me as the heart of darkness in this, what you deem is all of existence but, my Pet, I define the light you carry within you. You should be grateful for me, to me. I deserve nothing less than your full surrender and utter reverence."
