Hello. If you are reading this then you are not only in a large minority intent on self-inflicted misery, but you may also be a reader of my epic, Frost Rising. Regardless, you are probably interested in finding the answer to one question: What is Sebald Code?
Let's begin with a little history. Sebald code is named for its inventor, a volunteer named Dr. Gustav Sebald. Dr. Sebald was a reputed filmmaker who is well known for his production of movies such as Ghosts in the Desert, Goblins in the
It took a while to figure out, but I finally found a way to give my readers on BZPower access to a sample of Endless Night, the song featured in my SSC3 entry. Copy and paste the following URL into your address bar and it should open it up in Windows Media Player or a similar program. Sorry I can't provide a direct link, but the brackets in the URL prohibit me from doing that. I can't link to the source either, because it has forums.

This Shakespearean sonnet is another excerpt from my commonplace book:
The V.F.D., we are a noble group
Concerned with many villainous affairs.
The misery, it threw us for a loop;
We mostly volunteer because we're scared.
Our mission is as righteous as the day---
To rid the world of destructive fire.
If arsonists and villains get their way,
Then chances are we never will retire.
Of secrets we would like to keep a few;
Much agonizing truth we must restrain,
And many we shall even
Dear Readers,
Seeing as its been 11 days since that special day we call Halloween, it's high time I give my unfortunate readers an update on the Halloween festivities.
My family's celebrations were premature, a word which here means "occurring earlier than is normal for such occasions." We went to a Halloween party at a friend's house on the 29th, and to celebrate the release of Book the 13th, Lyichir and I dressed up as two prominent characters from the novel, Olaf and Ishmael. You would pr
Dear Reader,
The word "vagary," which here means "an erratic or unpredictable action or notion," can be used to describe many things in A Series of Unfortunate Events, but is here used to describe the miserable songs performed in "The Tragic Treasury," an album of ASOUE-related songs composed by a most misfortunate group known as "The Gothic Archies." I recently acquired this album while in the midst of my research, and made a monetary offering in exchange for the secrets within.
The band is a
Why do people seem to avoid my topics nowadays? Noone's posted in my last two blog entries, and 1/3 of the comments I do have were made by yours truly. My entries may be unpleasant, but they're not dangerous.
My art topic, A Perfect Couple, has been dramatically updated and few people seem to care. I mean, there are still AC12 entries on the FIRST PAGE! I'm only on the second and I still get ignored!
While I'm at it, here's a link to my latest topic, Whekkies! Try to post on it before it d
This poem is an excerpt from my commonplace book:
Despite its Very Fearsome Denotation (that means "name")
its Venom doesn't Feel quite as Deadly as they claim.
In fact, instead of frightful,
why, the Viper's Found Delightful,
but it's feared by all the experts, what a shame.
About the Viper's Friendly Disposition, this I say:
He's Visitable, Fun, and quite Distracting, in a way,
and at the time Vital For Dreaming,
his eyes stop their jewellike gleaming
as he curls up at your feet
Dear Readers,
Yesterday, on that day of misfortune we call Friday the Thirteenth, even more adversity came upon us in the form of a Volume Favorably Discouraged known only as The End. To be succinct, which here means "short and sweet, as this book definitely isn't," this book is an unpleasant novel that you good people should spare yourselves the agony of reading. To be verbose, a word which here means "long, wordy, and likely to cause strife or agony, as this book is," Lemony Snicket's most re
Post and tell me if you share my interest in these authors:
-William Sleator (Wrote Interstellar Pig, Singularity, House of Stairs, The Boxes, Marco's Millions, and much more)
-Lemony Snicket / Daniel Handler (Wrote A Series of Unfortunate Events, all of its companions, and some other book I'm too lazy to look up)
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery (Wrote The Little Prince, an ingenious allegory which I suggest that everyone read)
-Louis Sachar (Wrote the Wayside School trilogy, Holes, Small Steps, a
Yesterday afternoon I found out from a friend that the 5th Artemis Fowl book was out. On Mom's way home, Lyichir called her to ask if she could pick up a copy at Borders. She couldn't find it, but she did find another book off our wish list: The Beatrice Letters.
The book is arranged like a two pocket portfolio, one pocket for "Letters" and another for "Letters". In the "Letters" pocket is the book itself, whereas the "Letters" pocket contains a folder that may be indispensible, a word which
This picture is based on the pics that Lady K uploaded of herself recently. She said I could post it, but I didn't know what forum to put it in. Lyichir suggested that I put it in my blog, so here it is!
I've been practicing recently, so... yeah, post comments and criticism.
Aanchir was here
I got my premier membership in the same evening in which I applied! I didn't know that could happen!
What better way to celebrate than with a BLOG?!
First person to figure out where I got my blog title gets a brownie point.
With all due respect,
Aanchir, Rachira of Time
P.S. I'm not totally obsessed with volunteership, I just couldn't think of a better name for my blog.
