By Giania • Jan 13th, 2010 • Category: Featured

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 written interpretation of the card.

The Intrepid Badass and Cyberpocalyptical Wild West Gun for Hire: Sqollstown.

By VKlaus • Jan 4th, 2010 • Category: Fiction

Hot:

PREFACE (which means before the face): I wrote this a while back, in the ye olde days of yore a long long time ago, and since then I have tweaked, fiddled, poked around, and jiggered (which means added a fuck ton of commas) with it then I completely re-wrote it and repeated the process, and [...]

Amazing Concoction: Doctor Funkenstein

By Giania • Jun 10th, 2009 • Category: Food

Hot:

As drinks go, especially mixed drinks, I’m a big fan of traditional over fruity or “umbrella” drinks (you know, the ones that turn you into a zombie? ha ha).
However, Mister Parker’s recent experiment with the recipe for a drink known as the Doctor Funk has proved to be an elixir of great potency. It is [...]

Hot:

A while back I asked people on my Twitter friends list to DM me with the answer to a really simple question: What is your favorite color? I got some really interesting responses, and I thought to myself: “Hey self” “Yeah?” “What if we do a really neat post out of this?” “Well! That’s a [...]

Unspeakable Office Drinks

By meatbagwtf • Mar 31st, 2008 • Category: Memes, Potent Potables, Science!

Hot:

One look at our vending machines will tell you that office-dwelling drones like Your Humble Narrator are always seeking out exotic drinkable liquids. Especially if said liquids are reputed to be imbued with energizing or stupefying properties. Maybe it’s the condition of our imprisonment, which in this office typically involves non-ergonomic, castoff cubicles, brutally punishing [...]



Best You’ve Never Heard: Guided By Voices

By Giania • Feb 18th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot:

Although Guided By Voices were around between 1983 and 2004, there is a good chance you’ve never heard of this band. I know I wouldn’t have if it hadn’t been for the combined efforts of a cover by …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead and Ian’s prodigious musical knowledge.
The song I’m [...]

I was tipped off by someone on my LJ friends list yesterday that there was indeed a social site based around books! Thank goodness. I’d been saying for ages I wish I had some place to collect a list of everything I’d read. At one point I tried to keep a .txt file of all [...]
