About Me

"My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there."
-- David Bowie, "Five Years"

"It's either the best or it's the worst, and since I don't have to choose I guess I won't."
-- Lou Reed, "Street Hassle"

"See, I've already gone places. I just wanna stay where I am."
-- Harry Dean Stanton, Twin Peaks

In case of an emergency, see octoberzine.blogspot.com for back-up blogging action. There's also a newbie project at www.areavoices.com/vinyl called Haunted Vinyl.

And although I haven't updated in a tragically long time, my old web site is still up at www.velvet-flamingo.com. Busy busy busy.

My Interests

The decline of Western civilization.

I'd like to meet:

Good natured people who want to fight "the man"!

Music:

Medieval. Old-timey. "Classic" punk. Freaky psychedelia. And so on.

Movies:

Ravenous may be the best movie I've ever seen. Plus Escape from New York, Videodrome, The Warriors, They Live, T1 and T2. And more horror movies than I can mention.

Television:

Whacketts! And that new Battlestar Galactica is pretty messed up.

Books:

MINE! And

Heroes:

Blank Reg and Dominique. Kierkegaard. And the fine folks at Something Weird.

My Blog

The Scatterbrained: not 70s horror, but it’s certainly my morning

Something must be wrong with my view counter, because it's already at 98, and I haven't even posted anything. Unless someone was up at 3 a.m. reading all my back issues, I don't know how that's p...

We’re having much more fun!

First a study says that swearing boosts morale and team spirit. I mean, fuckin' DUH! http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20071017/od_afp/britainemploymen tlanguageoffbeat_071017155439 And now a study says that...

"I need something to scoop the guts out!"

...I called into the kitchen last night, and realized how that would sound out of context. Maybe because I was holding a "big, sharp kitchen knife" and wearing a shirt of Michael Myers wielding the sa...

But if they made bioluminescent lipstick...

The world is full of crazy critters!  From http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071016/ap_on_sc/new_marine_spec ies. Like so many people who read Jaws as a kid, I have a big soft spot for marine biology...

One of the beautiful people

Yes, I read the first Gossip Girl book last night. It took about an hour, but it wasn't terrible, and certainly all the people howling about its immorality can't have read it, or didn't read it carefu...

Thrill me with your straight razor

Hmmm. That sounds like an homage to Dressed to Kill. Inadvertent! We've gotten caught up to the invisible man episodes of Heroes, and when I saw Christopher Eccleston's name in the credits, I actually...

New Zealand Gruesome

I don't know what's going on there in these scenic islands, but the New Zealand cinema certainly has a way with the gore. Black Sheep is a very odd movie, with strong comedic elements and an...

My mortal enemy catches up to me

Glanced out the window and there are a couple of cop cars outside. For a second I was like, ahh, the good old days, back in the city, with a crack house across the street! But now I've got apartments ...

Trainspotting goes all cyber on us

Now that I'm a stranger to the town where I grew up (well, to be fair, I was always was), I attempt to keep in touch with it in little ways. I have the local paper in my Google Reader; I've been doing...

The honesty’s too much

I stayed home from work yesterday with this cold (and I still have the sneeze, which is something like an enormous balloon inflating and deflating again, but compressed to a second). So on the one han...
