Aric Olnes’s Godzilla countdown to Christmas on Facebook, #5 (10 days to go) on 12/15:
Fighting to extract himself from the lights? Showing off his Christmas style? Swatting at the lights like those airplanes that sometimes bedevil him? Or just confounded, as so many of us have been, by the strings of lights? Enraged, delighted, or baffled? It’s the Christmas mystery of Godzilla.
AO’s series began on 12/12 (with 14 days to go); see my posting “Godzilla Santa #1”, showing a wonderfully benevolent Godzilla in a Santa cap, starring in a fable in which he rescues Santa’s workshop from Shimo the ice monster. Other items in the series show us a more traditional Godzilla, devouring trains and devastating city skylines, but for Christmas.
My intention was to use the enlightened Godzilla to take the edge off another report on my health. Which is mostly upward-looking, but does involve dramatic exhaustion — slept 10 hours last night, then had two naps today. But I slept in bed, not sitting up in a chair, and those naps (in the chair) were exceptionally pleasant. So I’m definitely convalescent, but mostly out of the world for a while, and not Getting Things Done. I will try to keep demonstrating to you that I’m not dead yet.
Well, if necessary, I can just show you another one of Aric’s Christmozillas.
