Okay. Here's part 1: a while ago, whilst on Ebay, I felt a strong and sudden urge to buy Zoidzilla. For those of you that don't know, that's a crazy japanese battery powered dinosaur you build from kit form with glowing green eyes. The one I got was already built, and missed a tail.

I have no idea what posessed me to buy it.

Until this evening. I'm alone in the house, it's 12:49 at night and I'm in the attic on Barbelith when suddenly I get the idea to tie little bits of paper to said Zoidzilla, these little bits of paper bearing the name and ideals of my little group, NZRN KTK PX.

Does somebody want me to do this?

Part 2: So I go to my room, and fetch Zoidzilla. I take it down off the shelf, and replace it on the shelf with a statue of one of those demons out of Spawn, a random buy from when I was younger. It's pretty, well, demonic. I notice how grotesque it is while I'm handling it.

I go downstairs to get paper for the printer, Zoidzilla in hand. Note I've travelled 3 different floors here. As I get downstairs the loudest BANG THUD from upstairs. Scares the living shit out of me. For a moment I can't move at all. Wind whistles. I think someone's in the house, but I'm too scared to go upstairs. I can't ring for help cause the phone lines taken by the internet and the computers upstairs.

But then I put Zoidzilla's green eyelights on, and suddenly I feel able to go upstairs and see what's happening. My first move is to check the porch, someone could be hiding there. They're not, but note that there are these two pictures of Novembre and Decembre, south american godforms, in there, up on the wall. They've been there since we moved here.

I go upstairs, and guess what? I see that demon statue fallen from the shelf, leering up at me. That's what made the noise.

So now I'm busy tying these little bits of paper onto Zoidzilla and watching his green eyes flicker calmingly. What the hell just happened to me?

You pretty much lost me here. What is NZRN KTK PX?

Oh sorry...it's a sort of group project, a bit like Barbelith, but I can't tell yiou any more than that.

I watched Ring again a few weeks ago. Photine fell asleep about three quarters of an hour into the movie, and so I decided to take out the DVD so that we could both go to bed.

I came back downstairs to turn off the TV and the Christmas lights, and when trying to unplug the lights accidentally removed the wrong four-way from the socket. Lights stay on. I corrected my error, unplugging the lights and plugging the other four-way back in, walked out of the room and...

The TV came on.

I shat my pants. I walked back into the room, a primal, buried part of me expecting Sadako to crawl out of the telly.

Then I realised my mistake. I'd accidentally unplugged the four-way that powered the TV. I turned the room lights on...

And the bulb blew, flipping the safety switch in the cupboard under the stairs, which stops all the lights in the house from working.

I was in pitch darkness apart from the light of the TV, still turned on.

I shat myself again, worse than before.

But then I pulled myself together, sorted it all out and got in bed with my girlfriend.

What does this mean? Has George Morrisons fictionwall been broken yet again? Have I unleashed the powers of the Flatscreenverse?

It makes me scared to watch movies. Esecially Teenwolf.

HULLO? Robot lizard dinosaur with glowing green eyes? Who wouldn't buy it?

Seriously, dude--sometimes stuff just falls off shelves. At the moment, I think you just have an everyday ornament spillage on your hands. Keep half an eye on these dollies of yours and see if there's any increase in activity.
