Incubus Dreams is the twelfth book in the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K Hamilton. Sticking with the formula that she knows well this story is full of vampire sex and murder. Although this particular story seems to be more sex than mystery, but it does eventually get back to the question at hand of who or what is murdering these girls.
I have been listening to the audio version of the book. It is nicely read. However, the production leaves a little to be desired. They felt the need to add odd porn like music to the beginning and end of each disk. (I guess the music is pretty fitting when you think of the amount of Vampire/Human/Werewolf sex in this story.) Along with that noise they also tell you the disk is over and to put the other disk in when you do you are greeted by the new disk number and a repeat of the last few lines from the previous disk.
They really could have left those little extra features off the disks as they are more a distraction than they are a help.
What better way to cheer up after a hard day at work than watching someone working way to hard for a little bit of fun. And all the hard work only seems to be a turn on for the guys watching the video as the only see the hot chick and not the hydroslide it is supposed to be promoting. Let me know what you think this video is all about — the girl or the hydroslide?
Frontier(s) is a horror film coming out of France (seems like all of the really good scary films these days are foreign). I am telling you just the trailer will scare the pants off of you. If you like Hostel (the first film not the sequel) or SAW (any of them) you are bound to like Frontier(s).
This is the only horror movie from Horrorfest 2007 that was too disgusting and horrible for mainstream theaters. However, even though it is unrated and bloody disgusting Frontier(s) did make it to a few select theaters this past May 9th. I see it is still running in Philadelphia so maybe I will get the chance to see it on the big screen although the unrated, uncut DVD hit streets May 13th.
Lionsgate films sure know how to get our adrenalin pumping.
Mom always told me that people that had diabetes like her were shaped like her with thin legs and rounder in the middle. Turns out she might actually be right.
Scientists are now saying that the fat found around the hips and thighs may actually protect you against getting the disease. So it turns out a big bottom just might be good for you. Hey, my fat ass just might save my life.
According to the Rueter’s article, “Researchers have known for some time that fat that collects in the abdomen — known as visceral fat — can raise a person’s risk of diabetes and heart disease, while people with pear-shaped bodies, with fat deposits in the buttocks and hips, are less prone to these disorders.” So I guess she was right.
They have found that transplanting subcutaneous fat from those areas to the stomach can help improve a person’s sensitivity to insulin.

New feature for me. While I could fill this blog with a daily I want it post I think I will stick to just Wednesdays (mostly). I cannot help it if I am overcome with the feeling of ‘I has to have this’ therefore making me post on other days to, but I will try to stick to just Wednesdays (but I won’t promise not to post more than once each Wednesday). Since this is the first ‘I Want It Wednesday’ I thought I would post something pretty sweet. I have been reading about the robotic dinosaur known simply as PLEO for awhile now and he is finally here and I want one! He is a little out of my price range so if any kind souls wish to donate one for further tests and studies I am the slacker for the job
Remember the Furby? Well Pleo is a Furby to the 100th power. He learns, plays games, sings, walks, and can even talk with other Pleos. There is a whole community out there for Pleo owners at PleoWorld.com. People and animals really respond to Pleo. Check out this video of a Pleo at SeaWorld. The dolphins just don’t seem to know what to make of this little dino. I just gotta get a Pleo. Thanks to the folks over at BotJunkie for reminding me I wanted one of these bad boys.
Pleo will set you back about $350, but after you see this video you won’t mind.
The other night I was watch a TV show called Most Evil where it profiles different aspects of serial killers. I thought it was just a special but apparently it is a series on the Discovery channel. It is pretty interesting. I always find myself drawn to these kind of shows.
The show I was watching highlighted several well-known killers, but one stood out for me that you might not know. His name is Ed Gingerich. He is Old Order Amish. He is the only Amish individual to date to be convicted of murder. I don’t normally think or murder and mayhem when I think of the Amish. Edward Gingerich has changed that.
On March 18, 1993 he murdered his wife in front of two of their children in the kitchen of their Pennsylvania farmhouse. He had pushed her down, crushing her skull with his foot. Then he eviscerated her with a kitchen knife stacking her internal organs next to her body.
You would think his story would end there, right? Well it doesn’t. He was only sentenced to 2.5 to 5 years for involuntary manslaughter. He was a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic prior to the incident, which mostly helped with his reduced sentence. He was released from prison in 1998.
The Amish society he had lived in had shunned him therefore he was no longer welcome there. Other than Jim Fisher’s website Edward Gingerich dropped off the media’s radar after his release that is until April of last year when his 17 year old daughter went missing. He was later charged with criminal conspiracy to commit concealment of the whereabouts of a child; concealment of the whereabouts of a child and interfering with the custody of children (everything short of kidnapping). The girl was found about two hours from her home. (Is that two hours by car or by horse and buggy? The article doesn’t say.)
This February he was back in front of a judge. This time for a weapons charge, which can carry a maximum of 10 years in jail. Perhaps it is time for that maximum sentence before someone else gets hurt.
I just found a fun site where you can post your point of view on many topics in a very unique way. Just Tell Me Why offers up dichotomies to be solved by the general public (that’s me and you). There are lots of hot topics to choose from entertainment to politics.
Stop by JustTellMeWhy.com today to voice your opinion on The Simpson vs Family Guy or Coke vs Pepsi. They’ll even listen to your ideas too so if you don’t see a topic you’d like to talk about on the site just drop them a note and request it.
Believe me once you get started telling people why you might not be able to stop. This site is very addicting.
Sports. Some of us hate them and some of us love them. I fall on the hate them end of that scale. But I am surrounded by fans so I see more than my fair share of sports without even wanting to.
At least I am luckier than most as I only have football to deal with and not the full gambit of the sports world. So if you’re the better half of a sports nut tell them about AddictSports.com. It is a one stop site for sports forums, football picks, fantasy sports and more.
As a kid I always wanted an ant farm. I never got one so maybe that is why I think the ant farms of today are really pretty sweet. Heck these ant farms are not just your average ants and dirt sandwiched between two pieces of plexi-glass, oh no! These suckers are high tech.
AntWorks Ant Farm uses a gel instead of dirt. The gel doubles as nutrition for your little insect buddies as well as their home. Boy are those tunnels cool in that gel. Now you can see all the ant activity. There will be no hiding in the dirt for you my little chums.
If the way cool blue gel wasn’t enough for you the base contains an LED light so you can see your bugs in the dark too. Check out the video for just how cool this ant farm really is. This is recommended for age six and above, but I think any responsible ant fan of any age would enjoy this as a gift. [Hint, hint. I think it would be perfect sitting on my desk at work.] Just a heads up the AntWorks Illuminated Ant Farm is a Bring Your Own Ants [BYOA] project so you may have a little hunting and catching to do as well, or you might see if they have live ants available for purchase so you can start the fun right away.
This post was made possible by the fun folks over at Vat 19 purveyors of curiously awsome gifts. They really do offer up a bunch of unique gift ideas for anyone on your shopping list.
Last weeks episode of The Big Bang Theory had Sheldon arguing with Leslie Winkel. His response to her insult follows. I just loved it.
Sheldon: Yes, well, I am polymerized tree sap and you’re an inorganic adhesive. So whatever verbal projectile you launch in my direction is reflected off of me, returns in its original trajectory and adheres to you.
Translation: I’m rubber. You’re glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you.
I picked these up a few weeks back for my monster toy collection [it is not all Star Trek you know]. I got the ghoul, gargoyle, and mummy, but there are six all together. The other three are a werewolf, vampire, and zombie. Of those three, I think the only other one I might get would be the zombie.
The Plasma Kreaps come inside a rubbery bag inside a plastic crate. Once you free all the parts you get to put your monster together. Best part is you can mix and match your Plasma Kreaps to make other strange monsters. The bits and pieces are interchangeable with other Plasma toys to make some rather interesting creatures. Each toy stands about 3″ high.
I don’t care who you vote for this is not a political debate here. I just think every person in PA of voting age needs to get out there and make their voices known.
If you are not a registered voter shame on you.
I stopped in and gave them my two cents worth before heading to work. I couldn’t believe it that I was the only one in there voting! And I was only number 25 too!
Just wondering, do you think the placement on the ballet has any influence on the folks who go to vote and are still undecided? I saw the Democrats had Obama over Hillary and Ron Paul was first on the ballet for the Republicans. So if you go to do your civic duty and are not sure who you are voting for until you get in there would that placement make a difference to you?
Geno’s Steaks in Philadelphia has a sign out front that says, “This is America please speak English when ordering”. The city of Philadelphia was trying to make the owner, Joey Vento remove the sign.
Personally, I feel it is his business and he has every right to expect his customers to order in a way that is understandable to himself and his employees. Therefore requesting they speak English when ordering does not seem to be asking too much.
I worked for a Greek boss who demanded that when ordering a gyro that you pronounced it properly [year-roh] or no sandwich. He would spend 10 or 15 minutes trying to get folks to say it correctly before taking their order for the sandwich.
I just heard that today the judge ruled that he did not have to take the sign down at least not just yet. Good as there is this little thing called freedom of speech. I think this falls under that. In any case Geno strikes a chord with many, especially in a time when almost all customer service calls are outsourced to India. It is hard dealing with someone in a busy environment when they do not speak English or do not speak without a heavy accent. I just saw an audio book in my local library that taught you to speak English with an American accent. Hey if Nicole Kidman can do anyone can.
That said if you are ever in Philadelphia you have to have a cheese steak, best hot sandwich in the world.
