For any who missed it on Saturday, I revealed my musical alter-ego @asuggestiveinq with a thread introducing a stylistically varied sample of seven of my songs, with lyrics inspired by—among others—V. Gordon Childe, Diana Wynne Jones, Douglas Adams, Ian Paul Wright, and my cat.

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

So here's my latest song, the first beta release from an absurdly ambitious prospective project—a concept album based on @IanPaulWright's essay on the Dark Eucharist of the Real God. This is Epiklesis, and it's about that shadow, over there, in the corner. https://t.co/UX3XtQeYTd

Oh hey, apparently Semiosis is a trilogy now! Looking forward to finding out what the bamboo's been up to.

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

Fascinating novel, Sue Burke's Semiosis. Not seen many speculative accounts of intelligent plants that really explore what that might be like (I don't think #DoctorWho's #TerrorOfTheVervoids counts—that's just Agatha Christie in space with a side salad) but this must be the best.

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

Ooooo there's a sequel! Exciting. And just exciting to have a new and current author to look forward to future books from. Long may she write.

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

Rewatching again too soon after the last rewatch really, but who cares. Still love the episode where the demons are working people to death in a day, extracting their entire living essence, and Buffy overthrows them with a hammer and sickle including an ostentatious hero pose.

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

Rewatching #buffythevampireslayer again and just got to this one where she leads a factory uprising in the big city with a hammer and sickle

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

Oh god, scrolling through parish records in a language one doesn't understand shouldn't be quite this addictive

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

Basically she acts like she's the top cat and perceives no potential threats to her supremacy

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

Little does she know, tomorrow I starve her then feed her drugged gravy then trick her into a box, then take her to be prodded and needled by a vet

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

Things Olive does when she's been on anti-anxiety drugs: (1) jump on top of the tallest car in the neighbourhood to survey her domain; (2) do a big poo in her litter tray and not even slightly try to cover it up with litter

I think my back must have got sunburnt through my t-shirt while cycling this past week because I'm rubbing up against every right-angled joining of walls I pass like a bear

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

@barneycarroll She's ok, she's got some good cool spots depending on time of day: inside neighbour's hedge, shaded parts of front steps, the piece of floor under a chair that the sunlight never hits, and in between the guitars. She's not eating so much, but her love of water is in her favour.

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

Actually the first miaow is always higher; so there's a miaow for when she spots me then a series of miaows to draw my attention

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

Olive miaowing in the neighbour's garden as I come home

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

I don't know if she miaows every second at exactly that pitch the whole day or just spots me coming a little while before I see her

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

@JomTones12 @GrahamC47 Series 5 but with a Moffat run-up: TEC, TGITF, Blink, and SITL

[sammeoch @sammeoch]

Love how the theme song gets redone all cheerful at exactly the moment the show gets really grimly War on Terror post-9/11. #StarTrekEnterprise
