My wife won’t let me have an Ouija board in the house because she’s afraid of ghosts. But apparently it’s okay to have this frightening Poltergeist-y clown doll just lurking in a box under our stairs waiting for its chance to strike during a thunderstorm.
I’m just sayin’.
Went to see Dead Set Ready, Slaughterhouse Chorus and Henry’s Rifle Saturday at The Tree Bar (formerly Andyman’s Treehouse) to take some photos with my Lomo Fisheye. Also filmed a song from Henry’s Rifle.
Do we really need to be subjected to Valentine’s Day commercials a month before Valentine’s Day? Bastards.
Anyways, I will subject you to a weird little Valentine that I found pressed in a thrift store book I purchased.
I seriously went to thee Pencil Sharpener Museum in Logan, Ohio over the weekend. It’s pretty much a glorified shed with an assortment of sharpeners throughout the ages behind plexiglass, because you know, they don’t want you sharpening your own pencil. Make sure you have other things planned throughout your day though if you make the trip to the “museum” because you’ll be done with the tour in less than 5 minutes. But what do you want for free anyways, cheapskate!? After that, I suggest Old Man’s Cave… no pun intended.
Picked up this amazing set of old school vintage walkie-talkies at a local thrift store in nearly new condition. They come with a super long 36″ retractable metal antenna and take 1 single 9volt battery. If I ever make a Wes Anderson style movie, these must be used for props. Not a lot of info on these anywhere on the net, so check it out:
We found this great vintage poster at an antique store in Columbus over the weekend:
Mo' Money, Mo' Problems.

Beginning this week, the City of Detroit will shut the doors of its police stations to the public for 16 hours a day. Here are other ways the cash-strapped city is saving money.
As a designer, I’ve noticed a growing trend on sites’ discussion systems that force users to join Facebook to be able to leave a comment on articles and posts. I realize this isn’t news since it was introduced months ago but I find this not only scary but a little like putting all your comment eggs in one threaded basket.
Wife, “I must have tea right now from microwave!”
Their garage-rock single Talk Talk was a Top 20 hit for the band. I think more bands need to start wearing capes, medallions and turtlenecks again. The lead singer Sean Bonniwell died on December 20th of lung cancer. Check out this awesome video of the band’s hit:
Aliaa Magda Elmahdy writes on her blog a note to leave for restaurant owners who have no vegetarian or vegan options on their menu.
I found this disturbing video in my inbox today from Detroit filmmaker Colin Duerr for Andrew Ahrendt’s song Bukkake Button featuring Monica Lauer.
Be forewarned, while there’s no nudity, it’s pretty much NSFW & there’s blood coming (ahem) out of inappropriate places. Also featured is musician/smut peddler John Davies (Superbitch Magazine, Beaver Shoot) and Suicide Girl Annisa. Check out more of Colin’s vids here.
