On Causes
[And, at the zero hour, in the midst of all the protests, the fist-pumping, the paint-throwing...
... There would be jack-in-the-box toys at everyone's doorsteps, at least, those who'd been cursed.
The usual music would play, and out would pop...
A Joker's head, with tiny arms. The arms would hold aloft a card that merely says: "Can't we all just get ( Read more... ) -
Capture The Flag? Nah-ah. [video post]
[So what is the Joker doing in this situation? Not content with the rules, he's wearing a purple uniform and has laid out mines all through the arena. He has sufficiently hacked the damn game, and shooting him doesn't seem to have any sort of immediate effect. He has a weapons payload just a little too epic to be believed, and seems to be having a ( Read more... ) -
On Disasters And Foreboding
What will the new month bring, hmh? Well, as the old adage goes, "April Showers will bring May Flowers." Considering we had quite the downpour, I don't see why we wouldn't be having some wonderful curse that has to do with gardening.
And surely these deity tributes so many of you have been gullible enough to go through with should eventually mean ( Read more... ) -
On Clatter
The City seems to enjoy a good ruckus, lately. Flooding, earthquakes, war... You'd think we're headed for an apocalypse ( Read more... ) -
The Dying, the Dead, the Deceased
I don't see what's so special about this curse. Where I come from, everyone came back to life at some point.

Spring rolls in, and thus the deities have to scramble to find some lovely seasonal curses to turn us all upside down. Of course, this month was rather tame. Some golden oldies, alongside a "school days" curse that apparently has been around its fair share of times before.
Once again, we traipse through the past, sad as it is, useless as it is. ( Read more... ) -
On Dinosaurs
Okay, even I didn't see that one coming.
Sometimes, a little random humor is good for the soul. -
February
February often brings up the familiar feeling of love and intimacy, of passion. The month is colored in a non-offensive shade of red, of scarlets and pinks and crimson. Shows of love are spread about, offerings as simple as a chalky piece of candy to as grandiose as a skywritten love letter. Yet, conversely, it can also bring pain and torment to ( Read more... ) -
On World Peace
Everyone should realize world peace is not only impossible, but also incredibly boring.
Do you know what happens when we achieve world peace?
Nothing. Nothing happens.
The only truly wonderful thing about it is eagerly awaiting the moment when someone, during a beautiful day with absolutely no conflict, when apologies and good natured thoughts are ( Read more... ) -
Stop me if you've heard this one.
So my dad was a factory worker, my mom a stay-at-home. Two kids stillborn, and lucky me brought into a house of shit and decay! Every night, dear old pappy would come home, smelling of sweat and tar and alcohol and presumably the perfume of prostitutes, and he'd beat my mother with a firepoker. She'd have bruises all over her body, and sometimes ( Read more... )
