Complete Beginner’s Guide to Goetia

By Giania • Apr 9th, 2008 • Category: Fnord

Hot: More on this later, honest. There’s so much in this set of clips to ruminate over. I am not in 100% agreement with Runyon on these matters. I am also rather obstinate when I choose to be.



V-Day In R’lyeh

By Giania • Feb 14th, 2008 • Category: Art, Fnord

Hot: Just in time for both Cthuhlu Cthursday and Vag Day- I mean – Valentine’s Day, here’s a card for your scrumptious puppet of fear, madness, and in some cases the wasted human expression known as “love”. Although he waits in a death-like slumber, Cthuhlu is still polite enough to at least send a card [...]

Hot: Back with more handcrafted ideas for giving people stuff because of some holiday or another is EvilMadScientist.com as they demonstrate how to create Iterative Algorithmic Sculptures from Fimo!

By Giania • Nov 15th, 2007 • Category: Art, Philosophy

Hot: Oh Wonder Woman, with your silly, patriotic outfit, and your invisible jet, and your cuffs and lasso, what an icon you are! Jamar Nicholas, comic artist and traditionally-trained animator, has set about the task of collecting artists’ renditions of this comic book momma as big, bold, and beautiful as possible. So far I feel [...]



Cross Talk or What’s Keeping Me Too Busy to Update

By Giania • Nov 5th, 2007 • Category: Fnord, Philosophy, Potent Potables, WTK

Hot: Behold the philosophical wonders that unfold when you find everything to do but update! G: you know what’s a funny word? “crunk” kittymcgee: agreed why was it invented? G: as a descriptive term for being various kinds of loaded, instead of just drunk, is my assumption kittymcgee: true….but what does the c stand for? [...]



Animaniacs – Countries of the World

By Giania • Sep 13th, 2007 • Category: Fnord

Hot: When I was at the Gathering of the Vibes earlier this year, there was a peace demonstration on Sunday (the last day). The theme was unity. Flags of all the world were given out, and each country’s name was spoken aloud. Incidentally, I think they skipped a few names – notably Israel by way [...]

By Giania • Sep 8th, 2007 • Category: Literature, Philosophy

Hot: One of my feeds just coughed up an article with a bit of news that has floored me to the point of near speechlessness. At the age of 88, Madeline L’Engle – noted author of A Wrinkle in Time – has died. She died this past Thursday of natural causes, in a nursing home [...]



Dream Log: Ectobee & Past and Future Selves

By Giania • Sep 4th, 2007 • Category: Dream Log

Hot: The dream log to follow really isn’t all that suprising to me. I’ve been re-reading The Dark Tower series (Stephen King, I’m on The Waste Lands) and quite frankly I’m probably crazy. The majority is unfortunately already disappearing into the fog of the waking world. A lot of what I do remember is NSFW [...]

Hot: Wired’s Underwire blog has just delivered quite the scoop! The Burning Man festival’s traditional “burning man” figure burst into flames a full 5 days ahead of schedule, during last night’s total lunar eclipse. Keep your eyes on their article, as they’ll update when they have more information as to whether this was a technical [...]



Equal Rights Voting is Not Going to Expire This Year

By Giania • Jul 18th, 2007 • Category: Articles of Interest, Fnord, History, Politics

Hot: Via the rumor mill and Snopes: There has been a lot of buzz surrounding “2007 as the year we may lose Equal Rights Voting”. As per usual, Snopes has been kind enough to illustrate thatthis simply is not true. The right to vote for all (males) regardless of color was secured with the Fifteenth [...]
