One of those recurring tropes you see in western movies are the native people who believe that photography is evil because it steals a piece of your soul.  It never occurred to me why they would think that except that the image of yourself is perfectly captured in that moment, and to a being who sees himself moving through time having something ( Read more... )

I've been depressed lately.  Anyone who knows me on an intimate level can tell something is wrong.  Usually I can't pinpoint what it is until it's too late, and I'm suffering from being a total and utter bitch to everyone.  Tonight I knew I had to get out of the house.  I've been cooping myself up for weeks, and haven't really understood what was ( Read more... )

Long time since I've been here.  Just felt like writing for a bit.

So, if you want to help the faeries built a homecuming float, or help us with the Runway Revival, or read Tarot at our booth during the festival or sing with us in ( Read more... )

Last night I went home and watched the Charlie & the Chocolate Factory DVD that's been sitting there for a couple of weeks now. Finally. It was pretty funny, but overall, not so dissimilar from the first movie in my mind. I liked the "learn the oompa-loompa dances" in the special features. Though I just watched them, I didn't participate myself ( Read more... )

I'm enjoying writing my story. If you haven't caught it yet it's on my other LJ account pulpfritterI think I know where this is going, but it's funny that I don't know what each section is going to be entirely until I've gotten it all out, and then the next section just starts creeping up into me.
