Welcome!
Hi! Welcome to my blog, Melancholy Platypus. You may well be wondering, with good reason: Why Melancholy Platypus? I wish I had some kind of deep, meaningful, or at least funny reason, but the truth of the matter is that I came up with the phrase during a round of ridiculous imaginary band name creation and particularly liked it. I think it popped into my head at the time because I was thinking about the old Infocom game Wishbringer (one of my favorites), but I can’t be sure. In any case, I liked the sound of it: funny, absurd, but also almost verging on musical. And so here we are.
What do I intend to post here? A little of this, a little of that. Whatever strikes my fancy. Bits of fiction or poetry, random thoughts, reviews, photos—whatever appeals on any given day, really. Will it be focused and sensible? Certainly not. Will it be fun? I hope so!
