Almost Gigeresque
Artkrush's latest ish features this disturbingly curvilinear image by Marina Abramović, on display in New York this week.Not particularly germane here, I guess, but I've just been perusing Giger's website (marveling at its humble design more than anything else) after picking up a faux Necronomicon (yes: redundant) at an Amazon-inspired buying frenzy at the Paperback Rack in Tallahassee tonight.
Along with the ersatz Lovecraft, I scarfed up a couple of tomes on Florida environment & culture, my first Castenada, and a book on sanity by Michel Foucault. Oh! And a wonderful find: a 1941 edition of Don Blanding's Floridays, full of delightful monochrome illustrations of palms, gators, herons....
But no scorpions.
P.S.: Lovecraft fans will especially enjoy this screenshot from my online evening.

Reference tools
I stumbled across two del.icio.us-like reference tagging tools while looking for bibliographic software: Connotea and CiteULike. Both have enhancements designed for the researcher.
I've pulled in a bunch of content into the former and am trying it out.
