Anyone here on mylot into the horror fiction of HP Lovecraft? He was a big, big influence upon Stephen King, and has written some absolutely fantastic stuff - he was writing in the early to late 1920s, really pessismistc and...

JKLlewthor Yeah, he really is ace. Did you ever read the Shadow Over Innsmouth? That was such an excellent story, another one of my big favourties. He's such a great writer, it's nice to meet someone who also really likes his fiction.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone is making a nice sum of extra money on the side from reviewing products, and whether not not it's a viable venture? If so, are there any sites in particular that you would recommend, and...

JKLlewthor Oh wow that sucks, how crazy and cynical of them! I guess I probably won't bother checking that out. Also, I'd rather sign up someplace which pays me via paypal in cash, simply because i'm a fairly rare user of amazon, so I'm not convinced that it would be the...

So I've been blogging on and off for a handful of months now, and it's really not going anywhere in terms of ad sense revenue and traffic. I think the main reasons for this are a reluctance to marginalize the blog into a niche, it...

JKLlewthor Thanks salonga - I took a look at them and and am now following your daytripping blog, which looked particuarly interesting. Thanks also for commenting on the blog, this was certainly a very nice gesture indeed. Here's to wishing you all the best in your...

JKLlewthor Yep, I turned into a snake - shameessly. It's a still from a NIN video which I've got a real penchant for. I could try and change into a hottie for you, but I'm not convinced that it would actually turn out so well...which is a real shame, I must honestly...

JKLlewthor My computer skills also leave something to be desired, and I must say that I find a great deal of advice being offloaded by gurus on the internet to be sometimes verging slightly on the incredible, such as these 'omg i made a million dollars in three hours'...

JKLlewthor I agree - it's certainly a great way to develop a community, or feel part of a community, particuarly if you're in some kind of niche interest, such as recipies or films, or anything, really, I suppose. I'm finding the AdSense nut very, very difficult to...

JKLlewthor Great stuff - I love the blog, it looks highly professional. I've also had some success with those social bookmarking sites, but my luck seems to really fluctuate. Ah well! Although I'm not a mom, I still appreciate the content, and I like how it's all...

JKLlewthor I meant that in a harmless, light-hearted way, as opposed to deliberately trying to fluff a product. I guess that was going to happen anyway lol. Well, it's all good, I suppose, at least I'm learning the ropes through this kind of thing. This kind of gaffe, if...

JKLlewthor I am a spectacularly bad employee and so far am feeling very little shame about that. However, I imagine that after college this identity as a poor employee may well one day come to haunt me and that, I suppose would not be a very pleasent experience at all....

JKLlewthor I haven't tried livejournal I might check that out, and yeah Facebook is always a good place to start. It's reassuring that specificity isn't absolutely necessary, I guess I'll just keep blogging about what really interests me :) Thanks very much for your...

There is an ordinance approved by the city government of our place about anti jaywalking. For us city dwellers, we are all aware about this. It is a pity on those who seldom visit the city, those who come from far places outside...

JKLlewthor Here in the UK I believe there is still a law against it, but I'd be very, very surprised if it's ever actually implemented, mainly for terms of practicality, because it must be a fiendishly difficult thing to book somebody for. Nevertheless, I think the fact...

It was two years ago that we had our first rattle snake encounter. Richard saw a medium sized one in the front yard, up close and personal. It slithered into our rock wall before he could do anything. After we found two babies...

JKLlewthor Yeah, I also think that with personal notes its always a lot better to do it by handm otherwise is gets that weird sterile business-type feel to it, and I guess noone really wants that on a birthday card lol.

JKLlewthor I also thought that 13 was too linear and, frankly, I honestly felt that FFXII had no soul whatsoever - it was all production values and marketing and flashy graphics, without any true substance. Vaan has to be one of the most mundane main characters ever, and...

JKLlewthor I agree - it definitely has a better sort of aura to it if you've taken the time to write something by hand. And it's more personal :)

JKLlewthor I'm a huge Tolkiein fan and I must say that CS Lewis is also fantastic. David Eddings produces tomes which are far more corpulent for me, alas, I just don't have the time to trudge through them all
