The Rim Of Hell

Ok, short post tonight ’cause I’m working on roughly 4 non-sequential hours of sleep. Why, you may ask? I have sleep apnea and sleep each night with my face strapped to a breathing mask resembling that of a fighter pilot (just call me Goose), which is in turn hooked into the portable equivalent [...]

I was thinking about Motley Crue guitarist Mick Mars today, specifically his long & undoubtedly painful battle with the arthritis Ankylosing Spondylitis. I guess Thanksgiving had me counting my blessings more than usual.
Seriously tho, the usually reserved fretburner lives daily with a situation that would send many of us into a surging downward spiral [...]

Of all places to find news about scientific research being conducted for a better future, I’m pretty sure Cracked.com ranks among one of the more unlikely. All the same, I found out about cancer resistant beer from one of their articles, which in turn led me to a more in depth report on Science Daily.  [...]

Let’s Talk about Lily Strange, shall we? She’s currently promoting her book “Lost Beneath The Surface”, a self published horror novel that has a somewhat ’strange’ marketing angle unto itself; her co-author, a ‘ghost writer’ if you will, she claims is truly dead. Furthermore, by dead, I actually mean Dead. . . as [...]

Per my previous post, saw the much hyped (& apparently very well attended) debut weekend for the film version of Stephenie Meyer’s ‘Twilight’. Yeah, it’s a vampire film. Yeah, it’s aimed heavily for women – YOUNG women. That being said, I still liked it; the action was sparse but when it came, it [...]

Saturday I participated in an annual tradition here in Columbus; the televised clash with that team from up North.  It all started with some ‘Kegs & Eggs’ at my nearby Rooster’s (where upon I stuck to diet soda since it was so early in the morning) and then led to the wife & I [...]

A while back you may recall an opportunity arose to play Trivium on the Xbox Live. Well, guess what? Now you have a shot to beat Jack Black or Kyle Gass on Rock Band 2!  So fire up that Rocket Sauce & go kick some ass, children!!
Here’s the press release, fresh out of [...]

Blabbermouth.net – Hate to just link to another site, but this interview with Slayer’s Tom Araya on Blabbermouth.net is just too good to pass up – and paraphrasing will lessen the impact. Just go check it.
Hint: He has some unexpected (and fairly straight from the hip) comments about both title subjects.
Meanwhile I’m gonna pout [...]

Let’s go back in time, shall we? Not to a truly interesting period, such as the foundation of the Roman Empire, the courts of ancient Egypt or the active production years of ‘Kolchak – the Night Stalker’ but let’s go back to say. . . April 2008.
At that time, there was an ad campaign [...]
