I Wanna Do Bad Things With You


Back in Hong Kong I was tipped off that this is good but it's only in the last few days that I've watched the first series of True Blood. I could rattle on forever over trivia like Anna Paquin's adorable gap teeth or the creative balls of setting the first credible southern based U.S. TV drama since Dukes of Hazard (just kidding, there is no comparison) but the kicker is the entire first series could be Annunaki 101. You've got closet ritual blood drinking, shape shifting and the whole political notion of who are we as meat eaters of animals to get sniffy with a complex group of trans dimensional entities who are just dying to come out of the closet.

I'm doing deep immersion off-the-grid ethnography. Normal services will resume when that finishes.

57 Varieties Of Lunacy



Lovely coincidences happening here for me. David Willcock asserts that there are 57 varieties of humanoid based on Clifford Stone's testimony and I thought that's the same description as Heinz 57 varieties (trivia is my speciality) but just then Wired Journalist Dave Mosher  took umbrage to my constant criticism that science articles on Wired are often cut and paste journalism and tweeted a link to a science paper on the K/T event and then seconds later David Willcock started talking about it in this interview. I like coincidences so I'm obliged to do my homework on this now. It feels like I'm being nudged that way.

And Dave... Sorry about being so rude but seriously, the moon is artificial. That's the story Wired really needs to do. How about it?

Brand Tracking Mastercard All The Way To The Toilet



Julian Assange makes a beautiful parody of a very plastic "brand" and puts a positive empowering twist at the end of it. Is Mastercard these days the social equivalent of whipping out a Motorola Razr phone and shouting loudly so everyone can hear? Or is it closer to wearing a shell suit to a dinner party?
