Has anyone else noticed that Samuel L. Jackson's quote in Pulp Fiction not actually a quote from Ezekiel 25:17. It's not even syntactically correct (which is why I got curious about it to begin with): "I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers." The first half of the ( Read more... )

Snarkolepsy - A psychological disorder manifesting itself in a range of symptoms from full catatonia to generalized indifference, disinterest, or boredom. Caused by reading others comporting themselves like assholes on the internet for extended periods of time.

Imagine a man - simple, ill-equipped for the task of mastery of himself - who works his way to becoming like a god. An adept who wields the elements for his weapons and creates and destroys as he chooses is hewn from this man. Then, this adept turns to see, looming before him, a gulf of infinite horror.

I have a pet peeve, and I would like to voice it.

According to the good Bishop, around one hundred Probationers signed up. Of those, less than ten made it to Neophyte. Of those, two were advanced to Zelator and two advanced directly to ( Read more... )

So, I downloaded Eerie Von's album from last year called Kinda Country. I have historically avoided EV's solo material. It just seemed kind of amaturish. But I have to admit, this one's really good. It hovers somewhere between rockabilly, classic country, and goth.

Eerie's two for two now -- first the Misery Obscura book, now this. Makes ( Read more... )

My pool cue is named Elaine. She's a Meucci that I bought back in the early nineties. I haven't really been able to use her in more or less a decade because her shaft has been warped. I always wanted to order a new one, but it always seemed like there was something better to do with the hundred bucks. Well, there still is, but I finally made ( Read more... )
