Before we close out the first awful, Los Angeles-burning, Trump reinstating, American government-ruining month of 2025, let's look back at past blog posts and make a few updates.
First off, let’s start by acknowledging that Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer are absolutely garbage human beings.
What song did I get obsessed with right after the cutoff for Spotify Wrapped 2024? Hozier's song inspired by Dante's Inferno, "Hymn to Virgil." I made a Destiel meme for that one, too.

What song am I obsessed with right now? "Devil In Me" by Gin Wigmore.
In “More Unfortunate Happenings of Past Decembers,” I mentioned the Comet Ping Pong shooter. According to a BBC Washington article posted on January 9, 2025, the man is now deceased. Pulled over on suspicion of being wanted on a warrant while driving in Kannapolis, North Carolina, the man is alleged to have pulled out a gun. Two police officers then fatally shot him. He died later at the hospital.
On Saturday, January 25th, Mr. Elingtin and I went to Dream Palace Books for an author's reading. The author, Jaclyn Youhana Garver, mentioned Julie Powell. Garver's novel Then, Again uses parallel storytelling of the kind that Powell's memoir Julia & Julie also used. We haven't forgotten about you, Julie. You're still on our minds and in our hearts.

On a recent episode of the podcast History of the 90s, I learned that Sarah McLachlan wrote "Angel" about Jonathan Melvoin.
The blog post that mentions Jonathan Melvoin, "More Unfortunate Happenings of Past Julys," also mentions Billie Holiday's death on July 17, 1959. Here's a random fact: There were 120 days between Billie Holiday's death and the events of In Cold Blood.
