shout outs
Got rid of the shoutbox. I fought the spam dilligently but it just really wasn’t worth the effort. So…shoutbox gone.
Just to clarify
While I love Wil Wheaton’s articles over at Suicide Girls I am not "in love" with them.

Continuing the theme….
King-world
The world of Stephen King has some definite conventions I’ve noticed over the years. Here are some of he big ones.
*If you are young you probably have some sort of psychic power.
*If you have a developmental disability you definately are psychic.
*If you are young and have a disability you are insanely psychically powerful.
*If you are old and have some psychic mojo you are either going to be killed or kidnapped.
*Writers live incredibly interesting lives and are often menaced by their creations.
*Groups of children are often the targets of aliens.
Yaaaaaaar!!!
Team Cthulhu has been getting pretty seriously into WizKids Pirates! this week. It is a cool little game of sailing ships, treasure collecting and the occasional sea monster. The rules are way easy and the cost of entry is very cheap. We are talking about creating some terrain, buying some blue felt and setting sail to blast the crap out of each other in pursuit of peices of 8. Yarrrr, yarrrr I said! There are some sweet premade environments out there for inspiration and the Team has been doing some brainstorming as well. More tales of the high seas as they develope.
Wow.
This has nothing to do with the genre or anything but I just got done watching This Is England. Its about a young kid that gets mixed up with skinheads in 1983 England. It was a powerful film that really captured the time. It certainly made me think about racisim and the whole immigration debate here and reflected current issues. The cast is amazing, espescially the actor they got to play Shawn, the kid caught up in all of it. I really, really reccomend this movie.
What am I
Free Stuff!
I’ve become a fan of David Wellington. His Monster series of zombie fiction is fast fun reading and 13 Bullets was a fun new spin on the vampire genre. What makes it even cooler is that you can read his stuff for free!
If you like the stories I strongly suggest you buy the print versions to support the guy. I did. They are nice editions and look all sexy on the bookshelf.
See I told you I was bringing sexy back.
