Litho-Trippy What a drag it is getting old. Indeed. I've just had a medical procedure done on me called lithotrispy in an attempt to blast an obstinate kidney stone out of my body. This seems to be the best way to have these sort of things taken care of these days, but mine has been … Continue reading i got stoned and i missed it

Ingrid Pitt Indeed http://i120.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/presto211/MySpace/IngridPitt_staircase.flv In the late 60s/early 70s, there was a midnight horror movie show called Shock Theatre that came on TV in Montgomery every Friday and Saturday night.

time of the last persecution
Time Is Like A Dream At Dawn I have a real problem with time, besides there never being enough of it. For one thing, I can't wear watches because there's some weird electro-magnetic current situation in my body that always causes them to quit working. It's true, and not a particularly rare condition from what … Continue reading time of the last persecution
