(Very) small joys

[tahnan]

So it's 3am on a Tuesday, which means that I am--as I am wont to do--watching Syphy. For the past few weeks, Monday-night-3am has been Wolf Lake, a 2001 series with Lou Diamond Phillips about werewolves, that I suspect would have lasted longer if it hadn't been somewhat ahead of its time on the paranormal front (i.e., if they hadn't done it four years before Twilight took off). I was kind of enjoying it, actually. Sadly, they're now back to "Masters of Horror", which has a tendency to be either predictable or stupid or both, even when written by the so-called modern masters of horror. The best episodes have been the one based on James Tiptree's "The Screwfly Solution" and, well, admittedly, this one, which is based on H.P. Lovecraft's "Dreams in the Witch-House".

But the thing that makes me actually kind of happy about the episode is the main character's Miskatonic University T-shirt. Miskatonic University seals and symbols are a dime a dozen if you search Google Images, and they're usually the typical boring college seal design. In this production, however, someone who clearly really cares made the T-shirt with this image, with the sun replaced with a skull.

It's small, but I appreciated it.
