I know I shouldn’t laugh, but something about OSHA investigating a Tennessee bomb factory explosion that killed 16 people strikes me as funny. I think of OSHA when someone falls off an unstable chair and hurts their tummy, not when untold volumes of explosives are ignited simultaneously killing over a dozen workers.

I volunteered to play a Facebook game about a band and I was assigned, by Alex Pogosov, the band White Zombie. White Zombie is indeed one of my favorite bands and I suspect he knew this. I’m pretty sure I was first exposed to this groovy horror-metal chaos band, like most people, by Mike Judge via Beavis and Butthead circa 1993. A friend of mine later gave me a tape of La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume 1, but it only had like the first five songs. When I ultimately bought the CD it was like a bonus because I’d never heard the rest of the album. When the next album, Astro-Creep 2000 came out, I bought it right away and found it worthy of the name White Zombie. It would be a difficult task to identify a favorite track from this band. Specifically for this assignment, I just now skipped around a bunch on La Sexorcisto, and I’ve reached the conclusion that Cosmic Monsters Inc. is probably my favorite. It has everything I’m looking for in a White Zombie song. Sci-fi samples, absurd lyrics, heavy riffs, and an industrial edge. Strangely enough, for a White Zombie song, the lyrics are NOT complelety peppered with the exclamation “yeah!”.

I’ve only ever had one Laserdisc and I’ve never had a Laserdisc player. I don’t even remember where it came from. It’s my favorite Star Trek movie. I’ve probably seen it more than any other movie ever – just not from this particular copy.
After having it for a little less than a year, I finally opened my Alien³ Ellen Ripley. I’m glad I did. I’m not looking to resell collectibles for a profit, so I almost always open the packages. It’s way more enjoyable that way.
I found this online and wanted to share.
Once, when I was sick, my mom got me Brainy Smurf as a gift because I, too, had glasses. I was not 100% on board with this comparison. It felt like being picked on. I’m not trying to say I was completely offended. I liked it.
My Xenomorph from Alien (1979) in a popcorn bucket. I didn’t get it from the theater. It’s from the web.
We’ve been feeding the backyard squirrels and I finally caught it with the time-lapse camera. It’s a chips and dips dish with water in the outer ring and rat food in the middle bowl.…
