'Dear Mr Deceased'
computer errors sometimes make people really mad, like when they get a letter for their dead relative that starts off "Dear Mr. Deceased"

who would buy that?

link 2 i'm not sure how they are going to pull this off. in theory it sounds great but i'm not sure if people are going to want the same level of involvement after it gets started. i know they are working on security but i'm sure there will be problems. only one person who doesn't know what's going on has to find a threatening email or get a strange call and they will have a lot of explaining to do.

teen's 'twisted' cry for help
this was on the radio a lot just after he was arested but i hadn't read the story until now.
i can't help but feel bad for this kid. no one reads a story about school bombing in class without realising they are going to get in trouble. he probably thought he would end up in cheo instead of jail since that makes much more sense. as messed up as the kid seems, he didn't do anything that warrants him getting locked up. the monolog was a work of fiction, not a threat. if you start reading threats into every secret revenge story writen by a 15 year old the jails will be full in a matter of days.

he made her stand outside, naked, in the rain in the middle of the night... to teach her a lesson for lying about a paper napkin they had found torn up in a drawer? oh yeah, that is sensible.

about the filming of day of the dead
in film class we got to watch a movie about tom savini. it started by showing off every gore special effect you could think of. lots of nice shootings and axe murders. there was a large section just about his work in george romero films. it was a neat film but if you don't have any great interest in tom savini or horror films then it was mostly forgettable.
the one part of the film i could not forget was the filming of day of the dead. i had seen day of the dead before watching this movie and when they pull that guy apart and eat his guts, it never made me sick. after hearing, and seeing, that the guts they used had gone bad i could never again watch the movie without feeling ill. the zombies were gaging as they put this rancid grey meat up to their mouths and a few people spoke about how much it smelled.
find out more about tom savini and george a. romero.

the html editing on pitas is down at the moment. woe is me.

this is the best postcard ever
i'm not even sure why. it just is.
www.kitschpostcards.com is a slightly interesting site. i feel the need to link it now that i've put up 3 postcards from there.

there are just so many things wrong with this postcard
but i guess i should just be happy that it isn't this.

video games show ‘unhealthy’ portrayal of women
obviously. but then they don't do a great job of showing a healthy portrayal of men either. the way the guys look is just as exaggerated and stereotypical. blah.
the only shocking thing here is that "You Can Be A Woman Engineer" is a popular game.

melody maker is no more
sure the merged but it is obvious that they are just being taken over by the nme. they are now both owned by ipc music & sport and nme has always outsold mm.
"several key members of Melody Maker staff will join the NME brand."
i think it's too bad. the letters page in mm was always more interesting and they had stuff about the manics almost every second week. oh well.

homolka death pool
this is pretty low. i can't help but wonder what sort of people make sites like that. of course i've had the same 'i think she could last 2 hours in public, you?' type conversation a few times. personaly i wouldn't feel bad for her if she drowned to death in molton lava, i just think it's strange to make a death pool...
(yeah, i've been looking for the site. try as i may i can't find the damn thing. if anyone does, share your sickness and send the address here please)

now that is a bit drastic.

blather
this is pretty neat, i have come to some of the single pages before while searching for stuff on google. i never took a long enough look to figure out what it was. i'm too tired to explain, just take a look.

re-versed lyrics
they re-wrote songs to have christian lyrics. someone is going to pay for the new addams family song.
They’re shifty and they’re surly
Intractable and churly
They’re doomed to hell for surely
Adam’s family
The devil had enslaved ‘em
But God Almighty craved ‘em
So Jesus came and saved ‘em
Adam’s family

i'm not really a fan of peta but this is important. this is what an animal goes through to end up on your plate. eat whatever you want but at least take a look at this first.

david blaine is fucking crazy
my mom came home tonight with a picture of him looking out through a block of ice and i just had to find out more.
he is encased in a six ton block of ice for 2 and a half days. tomorrow they are taking him out.

sparkmatch
and this is what it had to say about me:
Alluring, yet slightly selfish. I guess it's okay that you take more than you give because, let's face it, you're a good person at heart, and that's what counts. It's just that, ultimately, the most important person in your life is yourself.
You're a very moral, loving girl, and not smothering at all--which is truly a rare and wonderful combination of attitudes. You have strong sense of what you want in a relationship--someone supportive and who appreciates you for more than your body. Though your backside ain't bad to look at, access is restricted to those who love everything around it. Wise choice.
You don't seem ready for a serious relationship just yet, and maybe that's because you've still got things you'd like to do for yourself. You will make an excellent girlfriend when you take the time to settle, so there's no real rush. Love--platonic *and* romantic--will always be present in your life. Take pains not to confuse the two, and your love life will be a happy one.
blah.

"Inanna was turned into a corpse, A piece of rotting meat, And was hung from a hook on the wall. "
oh yeah, this isn't messed up at all.

i greatly overestimated my interest in redesigning this.
so, nothing of interest here at the moment. check the numbers above for the old stuff. i'll fix things up later tonight. probably.
