The Book of Downright Neato Things
-OR-
Weird Mumblings as Revealed by The Goddess to
The Episkopos Kula
The Book of Downright Neato Things is less the revelations
of a divine plan as revealed
by The Goddess as it is weird burps in the mind structure of
Episkopos Kula. Often nonsensical, often mundane, always weird,
I'm sure there's something in it.
Not much of The Book of Downright Neato Things has yet been

Lover Nick how good the White Castle was, and how good it is, and how
good forever it shall be.
