Creepypasta

Fun blog I found somewhere, they post scary stories and creepy images.

For the past, however long I've been online, I've been collecting pictures that are basically creepy to downright scary. The most effective one I have is actually one of my mother making a face. Out of respect, I don't post it, but I think anybody who saw it would agree that it is scary.

This will be my first blog entry with a jump break.  If you don't want to get the bloody wits scared out of you, don't click "Read More".  On the other hand, if you're feeling brave, go ahead and do so now.

I dare you to try this (NaNoWriMo)

Cell phone wallpapers #2: Space & Nature

A week ago, I posted some cell phone wallpapers I made.  I won't explain again how to use them; refer back to that other post for instructions.  Or, contact me.  HowardForums is the best resource on the Net for asking for help on phones of any kind; I can really only help with Motorola phones (not smartphones) with a USB connection and/or a microSD card slot.  Anyway, here is Series 2 of my wallpapers for cell phones, focusing on space and nature.

Warning for Amazon customers buying online Microsoft Points

Just thought I'd throw this out there.

If you make a new Amazon.com account, register your credit/debit card, and expect to buy an Online Game Code for Microsoft Points, you're sorely mistaken.

Amazon.com will charge your credit card and then withhold the code for "up to four hours".

DLC Week of 13 Oct. 09 - Brütal Legend

This week's a slow week leading up to QUEEN the following week, but there are a few gems in there, depending on what you like. One each by Motörhead, Tenacious D, and Testament from the Brütal Legend soundtrack, one by Black Tide, one by blink-182, two live tracks by Kansas, and one by L7. Oh yeah, I forgot. And two by Joe Satriani. Yes, you read that right. Joe Satriani is bringing his unique brand of guitar pwnage to Rock Band.

Let's have a closer look at the songs, shall we? Click the name of the song to find the best YouTube video I could find for that song.

Blog update: Links, Twitter, no MySpace
