...for any Twin Peaks fans out there...Jack Parsons was featured in Mark Frost's The Secret History of Twin Peaks. It was the first time I'd ever really read anything about him.

Every 'krampus' picture I see, my anti-Semitism alarm goes nuts. Maybe I've finally inherited [my family's] racial paranoia, but I don't trust European folklore about bearded and horned people being anti Christian and stealing kids and shit.

Listening to Roger Kahn's The Era (which, btw, is marvellous in that baseball-as-romantic-mythology kind of way). He relates a story I'd never heard before, a teenage girl who became obsessed with a Chicago Cub player and stalked and shot him (inspiring The Natural).
