Meeko Gets Personal

Or at least as personal as I'll ever get on this blog. I have been very careful to leave my private life out of my ramblings here, as my intention is to keep this as a showcase for my writing and for the Den of Sin. The internet is already clogged with people airing all sorts of their personal baggage into cyberspace. Granted some of these diaries belong to friends of mine, but it has not been something I've been keen to do myself.

However, as you may have noticed I have not posted anything for about a month. I haven't written anything new for Film Threat and reminders for the Den of Sin have been spotty at best. Most of you who care already know why this is, and for those who don't: trust me, it's not as bad as it sounds. It is something good, and happy and incredibly stressful. Despite all of my mental preparation, it has been a lot more stressful than I had counted on.

So I want to apologize for being so flaky. Things are getting under control and by May the D.o.S. will be up and running on all engines again. I think we might even go back to weekly screenings.

That is all.

R.I.P. Dr. Duke

So far the nicest obit/memorial piece I've read today.

I would like to incorporate some sort of tribute at tonight's D.o.S. screening if anyone has any suggestions.

Today's Smut Post

Just in case John Stewart and Stephen Colbert didn't do it for you, more slash fiction of the "journalistic" (term used loosely) variety.

Again, don't say I didn't warn you.

Mariko on Fellini

My new piece from this week's Terminal City.

Napoleon Was Onto Something

Ligers are real! (Although their magic skills are overated).

For Mature Readers Only

Sure, I love the Daily Show, you love the Daily Show, we all love the Daily Show... but love on The Daily Show?

I think I have to wash out my eyeballs.

Wait, there's more.

As Promised

My Terminal City article, for all those not in town or just too lazy to pick up a copy.

For Those in VanCity

I have a new Article in this week's Terminal City, and if I do say so myself, I think it's my best one to date. I think it'll be link on their site soon, so I'll put it up here if that happens.

On another note, after browsing Ugly Breast Implants earlier this week it has come to my attention that there is a whole subculture of Porn Blogs. I guess I shouldn't really be surprised, it is the internet after all. It's just a little disheartening.

Wherein I Confess My Gawker Addiction

It started off casually enough. Someone on Indiebride had mentioned Television Without Pity, and being that I'd missed the latest episode of The O.C. I decided to check it out. Then came Awful Plastic Surgery. Which led to the Fugly Girls. Which led to Defamer. Which led to Gawker. Which led to this.

Favourite. Blog. Ever.

Quick Note

Info on D.o.S. screenings tonight and on the 22nd now available here.
