My life has been filled with an uncanny amount of, well, uncanniness quite frankly. Despite my fairly vast travels, the world seems so infinitely tiny at times, rather frighteningly so. This latest episode, however, has me convinced that perhaps it’s not the universe, maybe it’s just me. Or do things like this happen to everyone? Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been an interesting week of time travel that made me grateful for being born when I was. First, I added myself to the list of the many who’ve no doubt been stood up by Drew Barrymore over the years. Read the rest of this entry »

So this past weekend was filled with blood and ovaries, but, fear not, I do not speak of menstruation (ever, actually. It’s not a very engaging topic quite frankly.) I speak, instead of the first official Mistresses of Horror gathering followed by the Viscera Film Festival at the Downtown Independent.
