Russian Hackers FAIL
Okay, I know that I probably shouldn't do this, but... I can't help myself. Not quite four weeks ago, I had someone attempt to hack into this blog. He tried 17 times to hack my password, but I guess I do okay at choosing passwords because he gave up and ...

Filtered: The Occasional Crazy
Once in a while, I'll receive an email from someone who's clearly missing a few cogs from her clockwork. A few years ago, I got an email from a woman who had written a PDF book about spirits and wanted me to promote it for her. When I declined, she ...

Oxymoron of the Day: Disco rave. My daughter came up with this in the car the other night, and made me laugh. It also reminded me that I really need to start carrying a mini tape recorder with me everywhere, because invariably the funny stuff or the important stuff comes ...

Website Review: Albernstein.com
A few items of intriguing synchronicity have occurred, which I think deserve bringing up to my favorite blog readers: you folks. 1) I am editing a new book for Immanion Press, and it’s on modern vampires and vampirism. I don’t want to give away anything in advance without checking with ...

Los Angeles: City of the Soulsuckers
Here there be random bitching about celebrity. Annie Leibovitz is a world-renowned photographer who was créme de la créme when I first started reading Rolling Stone magazine in the mid-70s. Who the hell are the Moral Majority to criticize a goddess such as she? Why in the hell should she apologize? ...
