Atlanta Poly Weekend!
Atlanta is a hotbed for polyamoury. But up until very recently, it's been a very "shhhh! Don't tell anybody!" kind of thing. Apparently not so much since the first annual Atlanta Poly Weekend.
Minx, host of the podcast we know and love as Polyamory Weekly, came to speak at the event. Lucky for those not in attendance, she has kindly ( Read more... ) -
Tempest Freerunning Academy - Gym Video
Want to learn parkour? You can if you live in California and enroll in Tempest Freerunning Academy.
Their promotional video is set to Ellie Goulding's "Lights (Bassnectar Remix)." In case you didn't know, every fire spinner and festival kid in North America (myself included) is absolutely mad about Bassnectar.

火付盗賊&おこたんぺ/FIREBANDIT&Okotanpe/Promotion Video
I am not insane enough to have loose hair and clothing when I do this.
Unfortunately, TrueSpin has disabled embedding on this video, but I must say it's entertaining. -
Clearly it pays to be versatile.
v_o_o: Will you spin fire at my wedding?
theempathogen: Yes.
[days later]
v_o_o: How about we pay for your airfare to come if you do sisterred's hair and nails?
theempathogen: It's been a while, are you sure you trust me?
v_o_o: Yes.
theempathogen: Okay, then yes.
[days later]
theempathogen: So, who's your other attendant, hm, hm?
v_o_o: Here's a hint, look in the mirror.
theempathogen: Motherfucker, WHAT?! You are making me WORK ( Read more... ) -
Your skin is the most beautiful dress you will ever wear.
My good mate Fade, who is a trance DJ and ex-professional footballer from Bury, Greater Manchester, England, has decided he wants to be called Orion now. Orion was my companion to see Keoki and come within mere inches of the original club kid (James St. James notwithstanding). Later on, at Orion's apartment, he said, "You can sleep in my bed ( Read more... ) -
Psuedo-kitsuke
I found harunoame (the webmistress of Immortal Geisha, among other sites) in 2001. She's one of the coolest people I've ever known, famed far and wide for her die-hard Japanophilia and addiction to kimono. I was utterly fascinated by all the intricacies of kitsuke ("dress up"), but wasn't sure it was for me. I thought, that looks really cool... ( Read more... ) -
The truth will set you free.
Crazy things happen when you're me. I lead a life that is stranger than fiction, and as such, when I was much younger, in high school, a lot of people thought me a pathological liar because they didn't believe the things that happen to me do. This is frustrating beyond belief when you're the most honest and sincere person you know - which I ( Read more... ) -

Shopping for Japan relief efforts
It's amazing to go on Etsy whenever there's been some kind of disaster just to see how the community pulls together and sells some of their wares to raise money for relief efforts. This time around is no exception. All you have to do is search for Japan relief items and thousands of items will come up. You can tweak your search terms to ( Read more... ) -
Chiptunes
Is anyone else finding it amusing that the BBC is just now reporting about so-called "Chiptune" music? I mean, really. Is it just too North American for you? I much prefer the term "NES-core," but whatever floats your boat. Chiptune can be the British dialectical term for all I care, I'd prefer Americans and Canadians just call it NES-core ( Read more... )
