Just another kickass techno track from one of my greatest friends from my college days — ScorpioStatic!  (His secret identity is Jason Buckland.)

Enjoy this short story.

So I finally located that cache of shorts in storage that I was looking for.  Now I can finally dress for the hot weather.  Sorry about my blinding white legs, Roanoke.

How white are they?  Let’s just say I hope you didn’t throw out your eclipse-viewing glasses.

(One character could have a vampire bat.)

Gonna write a baseball-centered, period vampire novel with loads of erotic subtext; gonna call it  “Interview With the Umpire.”

Throwback Thursday: “Highlander” (1986)!

I shared a meme about “Highlander” (1986) on Tuesday, and my girlfriend told me that she had never seen the movie.  I conscientiously informed her that is absolutely the greatest film ever made.

Okay … it isn’t exactly the greatest film ever made.  Among other things, it portrays an Egyptian (Sean Connery) with a Scottish accent and a Scotsman (Christopher Lambert) who has a … French accent?

It’s still a damned enjoyable movie though.  (And it is sacred amongst a lot of 80’s kids, including me.)  Hell, I might have to watch it again just for the wicked-cool establishing shots of 1980’s New York.
