Talking with my wife today about recent events, particularly those involving our daughter. Making plans for when the exorcism should be performed, discussing when she might be able take our daughter out of the house for an hour or two. So I can work.<\/p>\n
She remarks that we should time it with the next full moon phase. Personally, I don\u2019t necessarily see that as a requirement for this particular sort of entity but we\u2019re in this together, she knows what she\u2019s talking about, and it can\u2019t hurt to check when the moon will be full next.<\/p>\n
Eight days away.<\/p>\n
So we have to keep it tamped down for about a week. A few simple cleansing rituals, push it back into the corners and make sure not to give it anything to gain strength from \u2014 no negativity, fear, stress.<\/p>\n
Fair enough.<\/p>\n
Starting in on some work at the office, Spotify\u2019s \u201cYour Discover Weekly\u201d playlist queues up a song I haven\u2019t heard (or even thought about) in almost two decades. Shriekback\u2019s \u201cNemesis\u201d.<\/p>\n
I have a faint memory of seeing the video for this song on MTV<\/span>, recalling a vague sense of unease and dread that it instilled in me \u2014 the feeling that something dark was being invoked.<\/p>\n \u201c<\/span>No one move muscle as the dead come home.\u201d<\/p>\n Okay then. Thanks Spotify but if you\u2019re going to be like that I think I\u2019ll just go with Sirius XM<\/span> for the rest fo the afternoon.<\/p>\n The song playing on Sirius XM<\/span> is, you guessed it, Shriekback\u2019s \u201cNemesis\u201d.<\/p>\n That\u2019s... odd,<\/em> I think to myself.<\/p>\n And then the next song is Depeche Mode\u2019s \u201cBlasphemous Rumors\u201d.<\/p>\n After that, it\u2019s INXS<\/span> \u201cDevil Inside\u201d.<\/p>\n Makes you wonder, wonder, wonder...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Talking with my wife today about recent events, particularly those involving our daughter.
