I know that when it comes down to the wire I going to throw together a costume before I head out to this year’s Halloween party. In the time leading up to it though I can harness the power of the internet to conjure up ideas for costumes. One certainty is that this is not even close to a consideration. This is a little closer to the mark. Were I bringing a ladyfriend I could be quite helpful is some costume suggestions. I’m always up for providing constructive feedback.

If there is an opening sequence to a movie that is more sexy than the zero gravity striptease that Jane Fonda does in Barbarella then I certainly haven’t seen it. It’s unfortunate that her career pretty much went downhill after this movie even though her 80′s workout videos are damn sexy in their own disturbing way. Well perhaps a way that only I can understand.

You can thank three men for writing and producing some of the best late-80′s British pop music and creating a sound which is only now being appreciated through such luminaries as Tommy February6. At their hottest, Stock, Aitken, & Waterman were responsible for 13 UK number 1 singles and 60 UK top 10 singles making them arguably the most successful British production team ever. It’s also no coincidence that Rick Astley, Bananarama, and 80′s-era Kylie had such distinctive sound not like that knock-off American variety that gave us the likes of that mall-touring debutante Tiffany.

Lots of exciting things are happening at the Anderson County Tennessee Detention Facility webcam. Watch as the receptionist answers the phone and shuffles paper. Also watch perps being brought in. Such is the life in Anderson County. Once you’ve reached your quota of excitement and intrigue pop over to the Anderson County Sex Offender Registry and look at the profiles and photos.

Wil Murray is having an opening at the Helen Pitt Gallery in Vancouver Friday evening. The opening begins at 7PM. I will be arriving drunk later on in the evening. Wil Murray is an excellent painter and friend of mine. Before anyone gets persnickety at me for not plugging their event I will outline the one rule for event listings on Flashcube.org: I only plug things I will be attending.

Now it’s not often that Dungeons & Dragons is seen as a cool. Some may say it’s damn near impossible as any D&D game is pretty much a sausage party. So how is it then that after going to this website and especially after watching this video I’m beginning to have a change of heart. Could it be the Dungeon Master with a cape and white t-shirt with “DM” written on it with a Sharpie? No, it’s the cute ladies that he’s playing with who are casting magic missiles and defeating giant centipedes unlike I’ve ever seen before. That just makes me tingle. C’mon, roll the 12-sided dice.

Part-time blogger Mason currently has a post on his website gloating about how much fan mail he gets and how wicked awesome he is. I cried and then I seethed. Not because Mason isn’t deserved of such accolades (even though he can be a bit ornery until you get some drink in him and he doesn’t update his site as much as I do) but rather that I happen to be on the absentee list of whatever admiration society he apparently heads.

I’ve been posting at this website almost 2 years now pretty much everyday (almost 750 posts) because I have no life, no girlfriend, and entirely too much fucking time on my hands. So the question is: Where’s my fucking fanmail, jerks?! Sure, on occasion someone will post something in the comments relevant to the post. Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s informative. Never is it, “Oh Eric, you are so wicked awesome.” or “Eric, U R Kewl!!!! LOL LOL!!!! I luv U”

Yes, I’m jealous. Yes, I’m a whiny little brat. Yes, my ego needs to be checked at the door. But there’s one thing you’re forgetting; I have no shame whatsoever so if you’ve any nice things to say about me, say them now and say them loud in the comments or by email. You don’t even have to be sincere. In fact, the more insincere the better. I’d write accolades for myself under an assumed name if I didn’t spend all my creative energy on this website. You can post the most disgustingly nice thing you can think of and I’ll practically bathe in the attention. I don’t care who you are, if I’ve met you or not, if you’ve all your original appendages, or even if you actually hate me. I’d take a compliment from a monkey if they’d stop trying to eat the damn keyboard. Now’s your chance. No more hiding behind the screen. Make yourself known in your love.

UPDATE: The tally so far is two emails of which I am very, very appreciative. Soo……What the fuck!? As I have a good idea who is reading this on a regular basis I am shocked and appalled that I have received only two letters. You can do better than that. I will name names (first and last) of those who I personally know who haven’t sent me fan mail. As stated before you don’t even have to mean it or even like me. You can lie. I don’t care. Those who I don’t know are off the hook but a letter would still be appreciated.

Nice Game. Nice Music. Bounce back and forth on the <a href="

I originally found this here and decided to add my own. The things I have done are in bold. Read and discuss in the comments.

The 10 geekiest hobbies according to The Wave Magazine. After reading through all 10, how can I argue. Then again it’s easy as I really am not involved in any of the 10 listed. Their number 1 had me intrigued so I did a bit of research and found this. I really wish I hadn’t.
