May. 17th, 2005 01:58 amEven though I've been pretty active on my livejournal entries the last week or three, I notice that I didn't have one last Monday. And as soon as that occured to me, I realized -- it's Tuesday again. I didn't do one THIS Monday either. Can I help it if I'm not on the mood to write anything Sunday after midnight, and I'm usually too busy in the morning, and by the time I get back home it's already Tuesday?
Anyway -- what did I do this weekend? Seems like I must have gone somewhere with Tom on Saturday but I can't remember where. But I did go out and hit Half Price Books. I picked up a book called "The Devil In The White City" which is about the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, and about H H Holmes, who was a serial killer operating in the Chicago area as the fair was going on. Holmes was a very creepy person, and most of your "house of death" type horror stories probably owe a bit to his legacy.
It also makes me think of the song by the Pogues, White City, which is of course about the same fair. One of their better songs too.
( blah blah blah )
