Happy Year of the Dragon! I am inflicting this thing I made on all of you!

It is the classic man walking with his girlfriend and looking back at an oblivious woman--who looks like his girlfriend--in a red dress. I have labeled each person, "Ghidorah," representing each of King Ghidorah's three heads.

I used to think the Viking calendar-makers were badass, what with their four weeks between 14 Oct & 13 Nov being called "Slaughter Month."

Ha ha ha, it is to laugh.

I give you the ancient Persians' calendar:

Calendar:

October-November is Vrkazana, "Wolf Killing Month"
November-December is Aciyadiya, "Month of the Worship of the Fire"
December-January is Anamaka, "Month of the Nameless God"
January-February is Owayauva, "Month of the Terrible One"

Earlier today, László Krasznahorkai, the difficult, peculiar, obsessive, visionary Hungarian author, won the 2025 Nobel Prize in Literature. Revisit James Wood’s piece, from 2011, on the author’s strange fictions.

Madness And Civilization

The very strange fictions of László Krasznahorkai.

Glad you could make it! I assume she divorces him when no fault divorce goes through in a decade or so. Then gets heavily involved in Women's Lib and wears slacks. #driveinmob
