Hot: There’s a bluebird in my heart And like his canary brethren He’s expired under the influence Of coal-black vapors Of disappointment so intensely crushing That what remains of my mind Is hard fine colorless lifeless like a diamond I suppose you could say That the birdhouse in my soul is vacant Perhaps the occupant [...]
Hot: Having slept off a pretty bad hangover during most of Saturday, I had lots of opportunity to dream, and dream I did! I had to prevent a girl from unfolding a finely made wooden table into a pentagram on the floor to initiate what would have been a really destructive ritual. Looking out the [...]
Hot: when you aren’t here I steal all the pillows and fart like a pack mule I cling desperately to the fragile skin of my #FirstWorldProblems or else run sighing into the arms of deep, dark thoughts when I don’t hear from you the Furies take wing and wrap piano wire a million times around [...]
Hot: Revisions, updates, and addendum below I am sure that you all, like myself, have been disappointed by the recent turn of events surrounding WordPress.com’s arbitrary rule enforcement process. I would like to present to you all an opportunity to “live under the articles” (p. 186), as it were. I should like to extend to [...]
Hot: Deep within the earth, in bunkers whose walls drip with strange luminescent ichor, lies the headquarters of a sinister organization. Their sworn duty is drain the precious, vital blood from every living thing, no matter how long it takes or what sickening tactics must be employed. Their name: The Red Cross. They are ancient [...]
Hot: Crystal, author of Big Bright Bulb, is an amazing woman. She’s vibrant, she’s forthright, she’s clever and inspiring.

Hot: This first card was challenging. Back on the 13th, when I first set down my intentions for this project, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do. I spent the next ten days reading things, assimilating concepts, arguing with myself, and cutting up magazines with the thought of [...]
Hot: The premise behind this project is very simple: Choose a Tarot card (only shuffling for the first draw). Dissect the visuals on the card and write down their most basic symbolic elements (from opinion/personal preference). Look up details of that Tarot card from tarot books, 777 and other cross-cultural references. Create a visual and/or [...]
Hot: This is what happens when cultural icons collide, in many colorful, delightful ways. Monty Python’s Spanish Inquisition sketch has stood out from their amazingly memorable show (Monty Python’s Flying Circus! Go watch it on Netflix or something), and has blossomed into a lasting cultural reference, at least among the geeks. Here we see that [...]
