Dark Tower LARP Teaser: Final Triple Play
The stakes are up and your eyes are down
Step right up for another round
There's fate up your sleeve
There's sweat on your brow
and I would be damned
If I let you back into this town
The Vincent Black Shadow, This Road Is Going Nowhere
(say Discordia, say sorry)
Most of his money was gone before ten
That's when he smiled and took out his knife.

I've been wanting to do one of these: ConQuest LARP Teaser
My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows.
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through. -
Superman movie pitches
I blame ronebofh.
(10:15:01) palecur: Grant Morrison Superman?
(10:15:57) palecur: "My pitch is this: 'Superman' is not an individual alien, but a 3-dimensional cross-section of a higher-dimensional overmind that calls itself 'Krypt-on', sent to Earth to realign a cosmic flow of energy from the future. Also, everyone takes lots of drugs and fucks all the time ( Read more... ) -
Live Blog: "Brick"
amywithani got Brick off the Greencine queue. After a few minutes where I waffled between thinking the dialogue was irritatingly mannered or smoothly stylized, votes have come overwhelmingly in favor of the latter -- it's a loving Dashiell Hammett analogue set in a high school, with tense detective/captain style dialogue between a student and the vice ( Read more... ) -

Arrived back home safely. The show was grand and so was the company. Il Calamari and I discussed the finer points of female appreciation, that noble sport of which we are both enthusiasts. Drive home transpired without incident. Now most emphatically plotz o'clock. -

Live Blog: The Hydramatics/Royal Crown Revue, San Luis Obispo
Met up with parzanese without incident, now at the show. The Hydramatics are energetic and polished, the crowd features a lot of nicely turned out rockabilly outfits, and the dancing is enthusiastic as all get out. Once again, I find myself pining for an upright bass. Right after I learn to play this doumbek I've got, no doubt. -
Turns out I drew a thing again
This one was pretty educational. Light pencil roughs, touchup with heavy pencil, then inking with a Staedtler Lumocolor watersoluble black finepoint marker. If this marker might be yours -- I'm looking at you, racerxmachina -- speak up. I have no memory of ever acquiring this item.

DC vs. Heller: All the marbles
The first SCOTUS case that examines the Second Amendment since US v. Miller, 79 years ago, goes to oral argument today. I've heard people say that could be the biggest Supreme Court case since Miranda v. Arizona, and I won't say they're wrong. For Court junkies such as myself, today is a big day to watch live feeds update and argue on the internet ( Read more... ) -
Radio Deconstruction: Violent Femmes, 'Hallowed Ground'
Good morning. Welcome to Radio DeconstructionSome time ago there was some discussion amongst my friends of what music to listen to to get into a character of a particular stripe; what sorts of audio preparation suited for assuming the characteristics of a sensitive, delicate person, or the high-energy violence of a thug. Things of that nature. ( Read more... )
