After last night's sad funk, shopping therapy did wonders for me this morning. It's amazing (and probably a little pathetic) how much it lifted my spirits to blow a hundred bucks at AbeBooks on groovy-vintage paperbacks about nurses and stewardesses.
Which brings me to the "new" direction for this blog--that "Invisible Light" video really reminded me how much I love the groovy age of horror (by which I don't just mean this blog, but the phenomenon for which it's named), and how much I miss being involved with it. I did kind of burn out for a while, but I think I'm ready to take it up again. I won't drop the other stuff--my Battlestar Galactica posts are still forthcoming, as are lots of other items that might seem "off-topic" for a blog with this name--but I'm going to start stirring some old, familiar stuff back in, specifically vintage paperback reviews. As a matter of fact, I hope to have one up within an hour or two.
I couldn't say it last night, but I'll say it now: Happy New Year, Groovy Agers!!!

Great to see you better now Curt :)
Happy New Year to you too!
(and I'm waiting for the new posts ;) )
Bring it, brother!
Get your Groovy on in '11!
Looking forward to the old paperback stuff!
I'm so glad you feel a little better. I know how much it can help just to order something you really like. It's funny, I typically don't get that feeling from going out to a store and buying it, unless it's a food I like. For non-edibles, nothing does it for me like ordering online! Probably because most of the things I like aren't native to where I live.
I hope you'll feel even better soon. I really was a little worried...I feel your pain, though. It seems like more projects than not end up in the crapper because of some stupid monkey's paw twist, or because others were never serious about their commitment. It drives me nuts! I can't even count how many have gone that way.
But I'm hopeful that the new year will hold good things. And now one of those things will be a grooviness right here, at the home of groovy horror!
I understand getting burnt out and taking a break. It's good you got your groove back. :)
Keep those amazing post coming. Every time you pen something I find a new gem for my mind & library.
Thank you for all these amazing goodies! Keep on groovin'.
Cool! I really love the PB Reviews. Happy New Year buddy!
