Oct 3 02: have you seen me?
Whoever you are, cut it out already.
Today sees the second of my Major Talismanic Objects gone missing. Recently it was the leather bookmark that I’ve been toting around for twenty years, a souvenir of Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, perfect for fingering absent-mindedly while reading. Today it was the macabre and enigmatic and weirdly cute Skull Hat, purchased from Jill Thompson at the San Diego Con five or six years ago. I loved these things deeply. I usually had one or the other within arm’s reach. And now they’re gone.
Perhaps it’s just a postcard from the Buddha: the material world is impermanent; that which can be loved, can be lost. Or maybe somebody is getting ready to put a curse on me.
Well, or maybe I’m just a dope.
Regardless, anybody who knows any good return-lost-object spells is cordially invited to either perform them on my behalf or tell me how to carry them out.
