    House of Leaves...

    ...is a brilliant book, blending within a huge mix of genres from nail-biting horror, academia, academic satire and a portrait of madness. The most unnerving thing about it is the impression that the book exists in a parallel universe swallowed up by the House, and the words are the regurgitated...

    The cleanest method of determining another's relationship status...

    Really. Is it better to just ask "Hey, do you have a boyfriend?" or to go about it in a more subtle passive-aggressive way (like me), and not get any definite answers. Most likely, my method is ineffective. I hope like hell that the L&R section of BoS is not ridiculous like, say, D&D or NS.

    Coumbine Killers - Eric Harris' ramblings

    What with the recent release of the Eric Harris' ramblings (of Columbine fame), I'd like to dedicate this post to the ability of the internet to completely and utterly ignore Occam's razor. Thank you. http://judicial-inc.biz/columbine_killers.htm

    What is the most godawfully bad book you have ever read?

    For me, it's Prey, by Michael Crichton. I like sci fi. I like pseudoscience. I think nanotechnology is the future. What I don't like is godawful writing, retarded scenarios, and good ol' fashioned Frankenstein complexes. The last sentence describes Prey. It's about some software...

    Neal Stephenson Appreciation Thread

    If there are any good contemporary science fiction books for me to recommend, it would probably be Snow Crash. It neatly blends together a mixture of absurdist post-modernism and clever science fiction, in such a way that you can not be help giggling at the sheer badassery of the scenario...

    A good advertisment for an unemployed tutor

    So, I recently got a job as a tutor for a group of overwhelmingly annoying year 5 children who were being pressured to do the Selective test. When the Christmas holidays rolled up, I now have no job. Hence, I need a new source of income. The most logical would be as an independent tutor for...

    Urban Dead - a browser based mmorpg about human survivors vs the zombie hordes

    www.urbandead.com Very fun game. Basically, you start off in a quarantined city containing a zombie infestation. You can start as either human or zombie. For gameplay reasons, you can switch between the two sides - if you get killed, you can play on as a zombie, if you are a zed, you can get...

    Rate my little creative writing

    OK, it's meant to be imaginative. That would be obvious from 'imagination' being repeated several times. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Disambiguation Something tapped as I wriggled my left forefinger. Good, that...

    I fucking hate Shane Warne

    Or more specifically, the Daily Telegraph's focus on Mr Warne. What exactly is the point of having a headline screaming "Pictures that will shock Australia"? Who really cares about some ugly slut a dirty drunk guy buttfucked? Will it reduce unemployment? Will feed the poor? There are...

    'White powder' in Indonesian embassy...

    Can you imagine the logic running through the head of the guy who sent in a envelope of white powder to create a biological scare? I would imagine it went something like this: 1) I don't like Indonesian people, they're a bunch of monkeys who just came out of the trees. 2) What's this...
