Saint Amnesty to Post About Random Out of Date Stuff's Day

Do you know what today is?

Of course you do!

It's Saint Amnesty to Post About Random Out of Date Stuff's Day!

For it was on this very day back in, oh, let's say the 80s, between the day that the eponymous Saint Amnesty to Post About Random Out of Date Stuff, patron saint of unpaid LiveJournal accounts, finished his grading for the term and the day that he went away on holiday, was killed by a car bomb—a holy car bomb, mind you—and the rest, as they say, is history. So it is that on this day every year, people with unpaid LiveJournal accounts honor St. Amnesty by posting about stuff that they meant to post about months ago, and get toffee.

( The thing is, I kind of always knew my brother would grow up to train an army of killer of Asian 4-year-olds... )

Also Random, But Not So Out of Date

If you don't already read my other blog (LJ feed at robotnikblog), there's a few new posts there this week: two longish posts on spiritualists and ghost photographs and the misogyny of ectoplasm, a little story about impending parenthood, and a photo of me as a ~9-year-old ghost (same link, scroll down).

Happy shortest day of the year, fellow Northern hemisphereans.
