Beautiful, huge mid-century modern 1959 brick home in St. Paul, MN. 7bds, 4ba, $800K. It's completely original, but I do have a few questions.

The entrance hall floor is flagstone, and it has a stone planter. On the left there's a semi-transparent wall with a large matching light fixture going thru it. Very stylish. Then, there's a railing to go down the stairs to the sunken living room.

The large living room has 2 mirrored wall inserts. The sleek modern fireplace has no hearth or mantel, it's set right into the wall.

There are dents in the carpet from the furniture, but are those circles actually sculpted details? Looks like they left 2 cool lucite stands.

The dining area alongside the kitchen is quite large and has a built-in banquette with shelves on the ends. There's also room for stools at the counter.

Very big kitchen with completely original cabinetry. Look at the little door in the backsplash.

Amazingly, all of the appliances are original too. And, look at the colorful mosaic backsplashes.

The den is very large, has a great stone fireplace wall, and tons of built-in storage.

Big, original bath with tile murals and a marble counter. That gold swan faucet is in again.

These two rooms connect. The carpet in one is beautiful and the other has a flagstone floor. I don't know, maybe it's an office. It does have an outer door.

I like the lamps in the hall. Could that be a laundry chute behind those 2 little doors?

This is a cool bedroom. What could that little door be for?

Love this original pink bath.

This is the largest bedroom and it's the primary b/c it has an en-suite.

Love the blue sink and toilet.

And, look at the mosaic wall over that blue tub.

Huge rec room downstairs. A nice bar would fit well beneath the lights. There are lots of built-in shelves and a stone fireplace wall.

There's also a full original kitchen down here. I like the ceiling of light, but what is that stuff up there?

This home is amazing. Another original fridge. Look at all the cabinetry and shelving.

Even the laundry room is huge. And, look at the drain in the floor in case of a flood situation.

This house just keeps on going. This is gorgeous and must count as the 7th bedroom.

And, right outside this room is this beautiful room. This home is crazy with the huge rooms and so many built-ins.

There's also a lovely yellow shower room down here w/an original sink and toilet. Also note the tile murals.

There's a terrace on the main level and a covered patio on the ground level.

Beautifully landscaped .53 acre. It doesn't have a pool, but look at how close the neighbor's pools are - Helloooo, neighbors!

Day 22 of 25 Days of Christmas: Scavenger Hunt

Pairing: Kevin Magnussen x Reader

Rating: PG

Words: 869

You and your husband, Kevin, are on a much-needed trip home to Denmark. The sun beams down as you stroll through the picturesque streets of Copenhagen, hand-in-hand, ready to explore the charming city. But today, you’ve decided to crank up the fun with a competitive scavenger hunt! Armed with a list of quirky items and a mischievous spirit, the two of you brace yourselves for a delightful day filled with laughter, adventure, and maybe a little mischief.

You pull out your scavenger hunt list as you sip your morning coffee at one of those adorable little cafes. The first item is a classic: "Find a statue of a beloved figure." Kevin smirks; he’s already got a strategy brewing. “I’ll race you to the Little Mermaid!” he declares, his eyes twinkling with playful determination.

With a quick glance at one another, you know this will be a friendly (and perhaps slightly competitive) challenge. You both sprint toward the iconic statue, giggling as you dodge tourists and small bikes whizzing by. After a few minutes, you arrive at the Little Mermaid, sculpted in all her glory.

Snap! You both take pictures with the statue, giving your best mermaid poses. Kevin strikes a goofy and serious pose, causing you to laugh.

Placing the first item on your list aside, you move to find the following target: “Capture a picture of the most unique Danish pastry!” Kevin eyes a nearby bakery with croissants that look out of this world. “I bet they have something funky inside,” he says.

Inside the cozy shop, you’re greeted with the mouthwatering scent of fresh pastries. With a friendly wager on the line, you both opt for the strangest-looking item: a custard-filled pastry shaped like a swan. As you take your photos, you can’t resist taking a ridiculous live-action video of you trying to eat your swan pastries without getting custard everywhere. Laughter fills the air, and you’re convinced you must look silly.

Next, the list calls for “A flower crown on a random street performer.” Walking along Nyhavn, the vibrant waterfront, you spot a jovial musician playing the accordion. “I’ll distract him; you make the crown!” Kevin whispers, plotting his distraction with a mischievous grin.

You nod, gathering daisies and miniature violets from nearby planters—don’t worry, you’ll replace them! As Kevin begins swaying dramatically to the music, imitating a dance that can only be described as 'the lobster,' you create a floral masterpiece. When you present it to him, laughter erupts from the small crowd around you.

Kevin wears the flower crown proudly, posing with the accordion player. At the same time, you snap a fierce guarding-a-sea-creature kind of photo. Now, that’s a crown worthy of royalty!

Continuing the hunt, your next item: “Find a cat and take a photo with it.” Both of you feel determined—Copenhagen is full of adorable felines! You wander into the nearby Kastellet Park, peeking into flower gardens and small cafés, looking for the perfect feline.

Suddenly, Kevin spots a fluffy orange tabby lounging lazily on a bench. “Look! There’s Mr. Whiskers!” he proclaims exaggeratedly, clearly enamored with the cat’s majestic lounging.

You approach gently, using your best cat-whispering skills, and to your delight, the cat rolls over and invites you for some scratches. Capturing the moment, you both snuggle close, crafting captions in your minds that rival even the funniest memes you’ve seen online.

You glance down the list and see the challenge: “Locate a Viking helmet on display!” Off you sprint to the nearby National Museum, which has a fantastic collection of Viking history. As you both race up the steps, Senior Citizens becoming your unintentional navigational guides, you begin searching every corner for that elusive helmet.

You finally spot them! As you get excited, you start to brainstorm silly Viking names. “Kevin the Conqueror,” you declare. “And you, my lady, are now: Enlightened She Who Knows the Corners!”

With your Viking names set, you strike victorious poses while wearing replicas of the helmets. As you both model for a picture, your eyes lock in laughter—this day just keeps improving!

Your scavenger hunt is winding down, and you notice the final challenge on the list: “Take a group selfie with a tourist family.” You scan the bustling scene, hopeful about finding just the right group to match your energy.

You spot a cheerful family of four with matching t-shirts and big smiles. You enthusiastically approach them and ask if they wouldn’t mind helping you. They’re happy to oblige, and before you know it, you’re all squeezed together, faces beaming for the camera!

Kevin, ever the jokester, pretends he’s lost a shoe in the crowd, producing the perfect candid. The family laughs, and your day of whimsical competition ends with a treasure trove of memories to cherish forever.

As the sun sets on your scavenger adventure, you and Kevin reflect on how much fun you’ve had. Winning or losing? Who cares? With hearts full of laughter and a handful of silly snapshots, you both know this will be a day you’ll talk about for years to come.

You leave daunting cities and serious landmarks behind, knowing that the best adventures are built on love, laughter, and a little dash of competition!

2024 Book Review #61 – Those Across The River by Christopher Buehlman

Months and months ago, I asked for recommendations on books that actually tried to make werewolves horrifying instead of just some variety of urban fantasy or romance archetype. Those Across The River was one of the few real recommendations I got, and then spent most of the year languishing on my To-read shelf until I had entirely forgotten why it was there. It does very much fit the requirements asked of it, and in concept is really quite a juicy idea. Unfortunately, it’s rather let down b execution here – both in terms of prose and of content.

Frank Nichols is a historian – or was one, anyway. After an affair with a college's wife named Eudora becomes public and he responds by running away with her, his career prospects take something of a swan dive. And in the midst of the Great Depression, there are far more wannabe academics than there are jobs for them. So, after living for a time with his brother in Chicago, the two of them move down south to take up residence in the small southern town his mother fled as soon as she was able, where Dora might at least draw a salary as a school teacher. And, more importantly, where Frank can research his great-grandfather, a confederate planter killed by his own slaves in the last days of the Civil War whose ruined plantation lies somewhere nearby, to write the biography that will restart his career.

Times are tough there too, and soon after the pair of them move in there is a town meeting where it’s agreed to end the monthly tradition of driving a pair of hogs across the river to thank God for their good fortune. While God doesn’t seem to mind much one way or the other, the creatures living in the woods who had made feasts of those pigs certainly do, and on the next full moon raid the outskirts of the town to make their displeasure known. From there, things just about only get worse.

So as mentioned, this is the vanishingly rare sort of story made in the last couple of decades that take ssomething recognizable as werewolves and actually tries to play them straight as something awful, threatening, and horrifying. I think this mostly works – there’s only a scene or two I’d really call horrifying, but then with books that’s an incredibly high bar for me. It manages the tone and atmosphere of a proper horror story throughout, and never lets the werewolves stop being strange an dangerous.

A large part of this is, I’m sure, just the fact that no one in the story is even the tiniest bit genre-savvy or awae of what a ‘werewolf’ is, as a cultural figure. Beyond providing the isolation and lack of outside forces that might help, the period setting does an incredible amount of work in just making it plausible that no one in the story was aware of what kind of story they were in. This is actually probably the first straightforward monster horror story I’ve read or seen in a while that wasn’t in some way trying to comment or make cute references to the wider genre.

The period setting is, werewolves aside, easily the most engaging thing about the book. Less so for the particulars of the world than the character of Frank. The entire book is spent in his head, marinating in his internal monologue, and it’s a wonderfully strange and uncanny place – the story makes a liberal college professors from New England in the 1930s seem more genuinely alien (and often repulsive) than most genre fiction manages to make feudal aristocrats or cybernetic oligarchs.

The prose is interesting. Often good, but just as often reading like someone’s very self-conscious pastiche of mid-20th century ‘Great American Novel’ writing. Which I think is intentional, but does begin to wear on you – there’s only so many times you can read a guy say ‘how like a sphinx!’ when describing his fiancee before it grates. The exception here is Frank’s traumatic nightmares of his time fighting WW1 in France, which I reliably found quite evocative and striking.

The book’s politics are, well, bad, but in an absolutely fascinating sort of way. Better to say that the book is torn between the themes and politics it wants to have, and the mixture of genre requirements and I guess an author and editor who didn’t care much about subtext that leave it sending too drastically different messages. It’s probably one of the most interesting things about the book.

On the explicit, textual level, the book is very conscious of all the petty cruelty and flagrant brutality that went into maintaining the Jim Crow South, and views e.g. the way Frank calls it ‘the States War’ with jaundiced irony. There are passages talking explicitly about the injustice of sharecropping, and the vulgar racism of all the townspeople is presented as one more reason to view most of them with contempt. And of course the supernatural evil driving the whole story is the bloody legacy left behind by a confederate slaveowner who hunted and consumed human flesh wearing the skin of a beast, whose shadow looms large over the entire story. The book is generally very clear that ‘racism = bad’.

And yet-

This is also a story where functionally every black character is an inhuman, man-sexually predatory, man-eating beast in human skin (there is exactly one ‘good’ werewolf, he’s a yankee), where the indigent drifters walking through town begging for work really were sinister malefactors mapping things out to return with their friends latter, where the protagonist’s fiancee having dubiously consensual sex with a black man is very much presented as part of her own transformation into an insatiable, uncontrollable, literally babe-eating werewolf herself.

Horror has a reputation for being a reactionary genre by default, which this book feels like a decent argument towards. More, it was published in 2010, and I might owe that whole decade of pop-media critique being elevated to spectator sport that it’s genuinely hard to find stuff quite this unselfaware getting published these days.

A very fitting Halloween read I suppose, in the same way watching an ‘80s slasher is.

It's the beginning of the end...

...of my absurdly long Werewolf By Night series "Bittersweet Symphony".

It's just shy of 165,000 words right now. 😳

Here's the start of the first chapter of "Ties That Bind," which largely was an exercise in how to work in a bunch of exposition to set up later plot stuff while keeping things entertaining. Jack being an enthusiastic, romantic sap helps a lot.

Despite Elsa asking him not to, Jack was making a big deal over her birthday.

He’d started in earnest the day before her forty-first birthday. Sometime before dawn Jack had slipped out of bed in their small house on the Bloodstone estate in the Arizona high desert. Elsa woke up around 7:30 AM, roused by the smell of fresh coffee and other delicious aromas coming from the kitchen. As she donned a short, silk bathrobe, she tried to put her finger on an unusual herbal smell lingering in the air. It escaped her, so she shrugged and padded down the short hallway toward the kitchen.

A riot of color brought her to a halt at the archway that opened into their half-furnished living room. Dozens of daisies—yellow-eyed white ones and cheerful Black-eyed Susans—in vases and planters brightened the small room. Elsa felt a smile grow even as she blinked at the unexpected display.

“Mi vida!” Jack shouted from the kitchen. He sprinted up to her wearing only a pair of shorts and holding a spatula in one hand. After pulling her close for a kiss, he proclaimed, “Happy birthday!”

Elsa laughed and shook her head at him. “Thank you, amor. The flowers are lovely. My birthday is tomorrow, though.”

“I know,” Jack grinned. “We won’t be here for your birthday and I wanted to get you lots of daisies so I decided to do it early. Mr. Swan was very helpful.”

“I’m sure he—wait,” Elsa said now that her brain was coming online. “We won’t be here? Tomorrow’s the first night of the full moon.”

Read the rest on ao3.

[ascendedpath]

Usually, the sight of a tiger is a matter for concern, but when such a creature happens to be blue, and trying its best to right some flower pots it had (accidentally!) knocked over, the opposite impression is given. Oh, to have opposable thumbs! ( @derpynsus a surprise, from nix! <3 )

At first Samara's heart did a swan dive into the pit of her gut, only to slingshot back upon realizing this wasn't a wild animal she had found. Or that was what she hoped was the case. It's not everyday you see a tiger wandering about.. let alone a blue tiger with jacked up fangs. Sure, the color threw her off but a tiger's still a tiger- until it's not.

This thing was fussing with a knocked over a potted plant. Repeatedly.. It seemed to want to set the planter pot back upright, but the paws lacked opposable thumbs. No big deal right? When there is a stall in its next attempt, Samara instead places the pot rightfully onto it's bottom. Smiling up at the beast, she would slowly slink away, confused and unsure how to otherwise acknowledge the tiger. "I can see you like plants.." she added as an off-handed remark, "I think..?"

This 1995 castle house in Madison, FL was listed for $750K, and only a month later, sold for $$425K. I wonder why. It has 6bds & 7ba. Well, let's take a look and see.

The entrance hall. At first I thought those things on the floor to the left were slippers, but they're a collection of swan planters.

I guess the stairs aren't that castle-like.

The living room is large, but it's in need of a refresh.

I don't know where this is, but it's a water feature in the house.

Spacious dining room. The house is going to need some work and updating. Also, the presentation is so unattractive.

A family room with an outer door. A brown paper bag covers the window in the door.

Kitchen's big, but I don't care for the color of the island.

This is the hugest pantry I've ever seen.

I'm lost and confused in this house. Here's a bar with a fridge and piano, so it must be a rec room.

I'm beginning to see why they knocked $325K off the price. Look at the indoor pool. This house needs a lot of reno.

And, here's a depressing pool room.

Heading up the 2nd level. This could be a lot nicer with the proper decor.

Must be the primary bedroom b/c it's so big. I wonder what the booth-like thing is. Maybe a small bed?

This is a nice library.

Not a bad bath.

Another bedroom.

This bedroom's a little creepy.

Don't know where the spiral stairs go to, but it looks like a black hole.

Here's a hot tub. The area needs a patio or something.

The land is a very large parcel- 62.59 acres. Looks like the lawn is all brown, though. This whole property needs a lot of work both inside and out.
