right now, I don't even see the #%!@ing glass.

Matt Stafford got the starting QB job. Culpepper better heal up in a hurry. I still don't trust the O-line, and I'd rather not see the kid take an NFL-style beating just yet.

You Should Teach First Grade You are encouraging and easygoing. You don't mind answering the same questions from kids over and over. You are also very detail oriented. You're a stickler for proper punctuation and grammar. While you run a tight ship, you still know how to have fun with learning. You are good at motivating and inspiring others, especially kids!

You Are an Unnatural Flirt This doesn't mean you're a bad flirt, it just means that flirting doesn't come naturally to you. You are willing to learn how to be a better flirt, even if it feels weird or phony at first. You like to be seen as attractive and fun, you're not always sure how to go about doing it. Just try to notice who lights up a room, and emulate their approach. Flirting is easy once you get some practice. Are You a Natural Flirt? Work is Hard. Time for Blogthings! unnatural is a nice word

Drew Barrymore, who's just directed a film about roller derby called "Whip It" that filmed in the Detroit area, is hosting a skating party at Bonaventure in FH this Friday, September 11 to promote said film.

got 26 minutes to kill? this short film is f-ing amazing!!!

just found this: it's a trailer/short demo for a movie version of Halo that never got made. It's directed by Neill Blomkamp, who directed District 9. Enjoy!

I go through cycles; anything I've stopped doing, I'm likely to restart a few years down the line. maybe not to the same extent, but yeah...

as I have no religion, I do as often as not.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'RE MISSING?!! ...an overrated steaming pile, that's what. don't bother.

Bowie's written a handful of songs better than this one...but not by much. Prisoner of Love

never saw any of 'em, so I didn't know that. must be the guy who made the first one 'cause I'm pretty dang sure it isn't Paul Greengrass doing this one.

this time it's the Chinese. the movie's set in Spokane, WA; the director's using Pontiac as a stand-in. Btw, I think the director's the guy who did the Bourne movies.

They're shooting on Saginaw St. north of M-59. That's 2 blocks west of Clutch Cargo's for those not too familiar with the area.

a good Monday club night is special. I remember big fun times at The Chamber at the Majestic back in the mid-'90s, and insane times at the Warehouse before that. At least I'm pretty sure it was the Warehouse, lol! Some place in the old Rivertown area, to be sure. Having said that, I'm betting Sunday will be the more popular choice here.

just checked my e-mail; there was a notice from the Landmark Main Art Theater about the movie World's Greatest Dad. It's written and directed by Bobcat Goldtwaith, and it stars Robin Williams. Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PkGTjZccNE It opens Friday...and this weekend's Midnight Movie is The Big Lebowski.

I hope their rent's really low. The idea of a fetish-only club is a good one in many respects, but I'm not sure it works as a business plan. Then again, I believe Space was only open one night a week, too. Different type of club to be sure, but they still had a pretty impressive run.

I bailed at the 0:22 mark.

looks like there's a new club opening in a couple of weeks. It seems to be called Kink; it's on Jos. Campau in Hamtramck. 9/18 is opening night, and the DJs are Lady Pain, Jessica Rabbit...and DJ Saint. Isn't he a member here? Why am I doing this and not him? Whatever...here's a link for more info: http://www.kinkdetroit.com

about to make egg salad!

Song to the Siren long afloat on shipless oceans I did all my best to smile 'til your singing eyes and fingers drew me loving to your isle...and you sang sail to me sail to me let me enfold you here I am here I am wanting to hold you Did I dream you dreamed about me were you hare when I was fox? now my foolish ship is leaving broken lovelorn on your rocks...for you sing touch me not touch me not come back tomorrow o my heart o my heart shies from the sorrow I am puzzled as the oyster I am as troubled at the tide should I stand amid the breakers should I lie with Death my bride...hear me sing swim to me swim to me let me enfold you here I am here I am waiting to hold you ...I am so covering this song!

they're really good live.

it's a goth forum - it's supposed to be polluted with negativity!!
