And now hear this...MONU

Found this link on Warren Ellis.com. I wish I had more time to check out Monu (here you can browse Monu's 11th issue on YouTube)in more depth.

RIBBIT

If you're feeling froggie jump to this story. Are we seeing natural evolution at work, or mutations caused by the most dangerous animal of all...us?

A Paper Trail

I keep thinking about a short story I wrote a while ago about marriage. I cannot find it in my hard copy archives which consists of a humongous four drawer metal office file cabinet, a bunch of dairy crates, about 30-35 notebooks of various sizes and lots of other places, such as cardboard boxes and plastic filing boxes stuffed in corners. One day I will have to organize and create a computer archive for all my old stuff. Someday, but not today.I didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I did discover a trove of writing that I thought I had lost.

Artifacts or Hoax? And Then Came the Comments.. and a bunch of stuff.

I found this on Warren Ellis's web site. And while the subject matter is fascinating. I find the reader's comments so much more intriguing. Their cruelty and sarcasm astounds me. Their grammar, spelling, syntax and punctuation alarms me. Read some comments and enjoy the decay of Western civilization. Hey, at least we're going down entertained.

Now this is some weird shit. All I can hear is the theme music from the David Carradine seventies tv show Kung Fu.

Oh and this is just crazy, a poisonous spine, really?

Here we have the ongoing argument about literature versus mainstream fiction, and specific genres like science fiction.

This little tidbit I found on io9 could be great and it could be like this piece of petrified poop. The Moleman spouting Shakespeare is cool though. Anybody remember this 1979 goofy Captain America TV movie? When I was an eleven year old kid I loved it, and I have to admit, I still like it in a "Batman and Robin" 1960's TV series way. POW! WHACK! SMASH! WHAM!
