Still Time: Get Tickets to See My Bloody Valentine!

By Giania • Jan 9th, 2008 • Category: Audio

Hot:

While covetously staring at the ATP Festival site, I noted the following announcement:
An extra date has been added to the ATP Festival featuring My Bloody Valentine.
There are still tickets available, from what I can see, but they probably won’t last long. They’re 25 pounds each (approximately 48.95 USD according to xe.com) and absolutely worth [...]



Cyberpunk Future in the Making

By Giania • Nov 28th, 2007 • Category: Articles of Interest

Hot:

Anyone who’s read Neuromancer will recall the use of dermal patches for the administering of drugs. At the time it seemed like a far-flung vision of a technologically advanced future. No pills, no needles, just slap it on and go about your business.
HP and a company named Crospon are developing that very thing. A device [...]



Ween: Freedom of 76

By Giania • Jun 29th, 2007 • Category: Audio, Memes, Potent Potables

Hot:

Editor’s Post Script: I was quite drunk when I first posted this, with no preamble or followup comment. Suffice it to say I had been cruising around YouTube while saucing it up, and decided this great live performance by Ween (way back in the day) was highly deserving of a nod from the RKNet hive [...]



Morning Dreams of Explosions and Fetishes

By Giania • May 16th, 2007 • Category: Dream Log

Hot:

I was standing outside in the back parking lot of my apartment building with some people, talking about I don’t even remember what. It was night time approaching early morning and rather cloudy. All of a sudden there was a noise in the air like dozens of planes. Flood lights popped on to periodically [...]



Musical Discovery: Cocorosie

By Giania • May 10th, 2007 • Category: Audio, Fnord, media

Hot:

Anyone who still reads at my “old location” knows that I’ve been having a bit of a family crisis. So yesterday while driving to the Portsmouth Regional Hospital, I was fussing with the radio, trying to find some kind of music that didn’t suck. This task is often challenging in this area, as they tend [...]



massive dream record, since I remembered so much

By Giania • Apr 22nd, 2007 • Category: Dream Log

Hot:

I dreamt about a lot of things. I dreamt about being interrupted during what was ostensibly my high school graduation by a flirty boy who was also graduating by some kind of satellite deal so he was there/not there. The majority of my “class” was people I work with. Some strangers. Some people I actually [...]

More updatage

By Giania • Mar 3rd, 2006 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

Wednesday -
Walked all up and down the strip. The shuttle from the hotel dropped us off at the Tropicana. We milled around uncertainly, then decided to just start walking. A lot of the routes are very roundabout, but we managed to make it over to the MGM Grand without too much trouble. We milled around [...]



Red Ninja

By Giania • Dec 15th, 2005 • Category: Fnord

Hot:

Listed as one of the Worst 10 Games of the Year by Game Informer (whose opinion is periodically subject to question), I confess I am really enjoying Red Ninja. I'm on my second rental of the game right now, because 3 days was not enough for me to beat it with my present schedule. My [...]



Dream log, around 10AM this morning

By Giania • Jun 4th, 2005 • Category: Dream Log

Hot:

You want to know why I don't take the time to write out my dreams? Because if I did that, all I would do is sleep and write. It would take that long.
Here are some highlights, though!
A journey between an painted, huge, old school building type place, and a mountain.
Exploring hallways with monsters and going [...]
