This used to be some sort of a gambling house. It is near the studio apartment that I'm currently renting. I get the creeps when I pass by it. I hope I did not capture any "apparitions" on these shots.

Also, an interview in No Teeth.
Meanwhile:
After Zynga's Farmville, I found a new addiction in Cafe World, that no-roof, two-walled game where my avatar does unspeakable things in the kitchen (i.e., cleaning stoves, slicing tomatoes, whipping up fragrant tikka masala kabobs, etc.) I don't know, but I guess there's a reason the virtual life appeals to me. Cleaning the stove right now with a soapy sponge is not going to get me to level up. :-)

Before the harvest that will finally take me to level 13:
I have spent two days in Farmville, with nothing to show for it afterwards except a pile of laundry that needed to be done, a bedroom that needed straightening, unanswered mail in my inbox, zero writing done, and tired red eyes. Even in my sleep, I can see my brown-haired avatar traipsing along rows of raspberries. This game is going to kill me someday.

La Fovea. A little poetry project I got invited on. The contributions from the other writers are amazing. Here's my nerve. I will be sending an invite to the lovely and quirky Arlene Ang shortly who, I'm sure, would've a better "nerve" going than the one just posted for me. Plus, with messed-up linebreaks, a piece in the elegantly designed GlassFire Magazine.

Things are looking great in the latest issue of Macabre Cadaver, where my story, "Prodigal," appears.
Plus, a batch of my poems is included in Arsenic Lobster's 2009 print anthology.
In Death Head Grin #1, a reprinted poem "One of the reasons..." (which first appeared in Sybil's Garage #4).And after going through more than three dozen rejection slips in a three-week period:
SOON...
"A Fine Summer Afternoon," "Conrad, After His Wake," "The Fourteenth Stranger," "The Twelfth Stranger," and "What happened to Mister Death's blue-eyed boy" in Polluto #6
"First god in the house" in Tales of the Talisman"Death of a House" in GlassFire Magazine
"Resurrection of a Doll from a Pop-up Book" in A cappella Zoo (where this wonderful, wonderful piece from Jason Fraley can be found)
"A family room that doubles as camouflage" and "Evolution of Small Creatures" in Weber Journal
"The Tree of Forgiveness" and "The Arrival of the Strange Horses" in Paper Crow
"Foreshadow, "No more keys for the doors of the dollhouse," and "Dream elements from parcel #16" in Breadcrumb Scabs
"B is for Bernice" and Pale Girl" in Cold-Drill
"Antiprayer, 0" in Ekakshara
"Mr. Flip and the Elephants" in Motel 58
And, surely, by the end of the day, Amazon.com book purchases are going to eat up this payday's check.
Some things in life are really worth living for. Like horror DVDs and the CSI franchise (minus CSI-Miami). I spent two days on leave watching horror DVDs. The Haunting in Connecticut blew me away. I so love Virginia Madsen.
First Born was a bit slow-moving, but the creepy ending made up for everything. Plus, the scene where Elisabeth Shue cuts off her hair is particularly disturbing.
The Deaths of Ian Stone. God, I love the premise of this film.
Quarantine. Evokes the Blair Witch Project. Jolting. Jennifer Carpenter should be typecast in horror films. She starred in The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and a girl who could contort her face like that is just priceless.
Sam Raimi's Drag Me To Hell certainly did have its moments, especially the messed-up dinner with the future in-laws. Hahaha...
The Uninvited. The American versions of Korean horror films are always sooo much better than the originals.
And, my oh my, in CSI NY, Montana and Danny have just gotten married.

The rain finally let up. Caught a cab and arrived in the office 3 minutes early. The wonderfully insane Monday night shift is just beginning. On lunch break now and halfway through the shift...
Craig Sernotti, who edited the defunct print zine, Eye, has just accepted and posted "Mr. Flip as a Blackbox."
