“It’s Like A Spray-Can of Lemon Pledge, With Testicles”

Margaret Cho on the Jeff Stryker dildo. Margaret Cho’s weblog is now officially added to my list of links. And I cannot believe I didn’t know she had one before, because she fucking rocks.

Name Games 3

Linz looks into the meaning of her name on her blog, prompting me to look into the meaning of mine: Your first name of Ellen has made you a friendly, approachable, and generous person. Generally you are good-natured, though at times you can be blunt and sarcastic. As you are naturally talkative, you find it ...

Cobain Memorial

Ten years ago today, Kurt Cobain shot his veins full of enough heroin to kill a horse, then pulled out a shotgun and killed himself violently instead.

When it twitches, it’s like (duh) a small drum is beating directly in my ear. It’s only for about a minute or two every once ...

Diversion 2

If, unlike me, you don’t spend half your time catching up on cinematic history, check out the Movie-A-Minute page. This summary of Speed is a pretty good representation of their work.
