They say when writing product copy that you're not selling a product so much as telling a story. What is the story? Is it romance, love, greed? What about Vampires? Vampires are big right now, but not the creepy Nosferatu vampires that look like the lead singer of Judas Priest does now, they look more like 30 something actors on teen dramas who are experiencing all the horrors of high School:

Shadow Art Fair Every summer, Ann Arbor is host to the Ann Arbor Art Fair. For me, it's good and bad. The primary 'bad' element is the fact that it becomes sort of like a shopping mall, complete with the types who occupy them.

KGBT 4 - TV Harlingen, TX: Man Arrested For Sprinkling Fecal Matter On Pastries It seems that Jimmy, in his secret trips to Texas is up to his scatalogical shenanigans again. I am nauseated by this and in no way do I endorse this behavior.

Planting Fields Ghost Story...No, I'm not making this up (or am I?)http://plantingfields.org/ghost/index.htmlAnd here I thought the scariest thing I saw there was Victor Wooten playing the upper registers of his Fodera 5 string like Yngwie on Angel Dust and Pon Farr.

3 Favorite songs on my iPod this week1. Luna Broken Chair - Track 6 from 2004's Rendezvous is a lush, lovely song with swirly guitars, pedal steel and the neo-Lou Reed/Velvet Underground stylings of bandleader Dean Wareham. I have always sort of liked this band, sometimes finding them a bit too languid for my tastes, but this song caught me at the right time and continues to be pleasing. I have a

Welwyn Ghost Stories Chapter II Chocolate(s) were exchanged, this is true however, here is the somewhat made for TV version from what I remember: Timeframe: Cold late October night, moonless (except the three of us wore no pants), had to be a Sunday or Tuesday, it had something to do with classes at NCC, if I had to say a year I would have to go c.

I love exploring in places that I am not supposed to be; both figuratively and literally. While many of you will immediately read into this as a sinister intonation of base instinct, in this case I will be speaking literally.I had spent most of my adolescent and pre-adult years indulging a dangerous hobby of urban (and in most cases suburban) exploration - read: trespassing in (usually condemned)

DMT, N,N-Dimethyltryptamine, is a crystalline extract present in thousand of species of plants, mainly from South America. It's usual mode of ingestion is smoking, but can be snorted or taken orally (with the aid of an MAOI - no thanks). It's effects usually come on in seconds, and the trip, which usually lasts only 10 minutes or so, renders the user completely immobile, aside from repetitive

What everyone fails to understand about the Bush Administration response to Katrina is the underlying reasoning. My wife (who is an Evangelical Christian) explained to me that this is the beginning of the 'End Times'. Katrina is just one of the portents. Bush et al are just marking time until Rapture. God smote the modern Sodom as a sign of his might (on this Dr. Dobson and Bin Laden agree). This

I was saddened by the finality of the last episode of Six Feet Under. I do not watch a lot of television these days probably because of the following reasons1. It sucks.2. I have a little toddler toddling about, and that is better than TV.3. Aforementioned toddler has her own television agenda.4. Increasingly precious spare time is better spent reading and writing.5. It really is a mindless

My Thoughts For Today (with lots of parentheses)I don't like these subway bag searches at all. I am not going to rehash any tired arguments about how useless they really are since you may refuse to be search and be allowed to leave the station, only to enter another station to release deadly gas (like Jimmy does after a 3 onion burrito lunch). what if I am carrying a big fat skunky doobie (does

J3K most right-wingiest post of all! The Rolling Stones have just released a single that never made it to their septa-energetic "We've fuck-all in our bank accounts" called "My Sweet NeoCon", not to be confused with the George Harrison classic "I will slit your bloody bullocks you wife stealing fuck-nut Eric Clapton" At first this was laughable; the Stones, who used to write rock songs but

Lard has 12% less fat than palmaid or other similar hair care products.J3KI found this in the archives:In the first scenes of Star Wars, C3PO is actually sitting in some lard; during the cold Tunisian nights Anthony Daniels actually "pork-froze" in tub and had to be thawed out the next day under the hot Tunisian sun where he passed out from the fumes. It was later learned the fumes emanating from
