Best Gummis ever.

Haribo Gummi Bears have ALWAYS been my favorite candy ever. Today Scott and I went to the World Market (it is such a fantastic store!) and they had a variety of stuff from around the world including some candy. We bought a bag of Haribo Twin Cherries, they were delicious.

H.P. Lovecraft

I recently purchased a monster sized book with well over 100 short/medium length stories written by H.P. Lovecraft. I enjoy the thriller mystery writing style, but I do tend to find his work quite dry. I recently read a short story that was noted as being one of his 'comical thrillers'. On one hand I can see how the ending would be perceived as comical, but on the other hand it was still dry.
I have just started reading The Call of the Cthulhu. It has such a massive internet fan-base that it has always made me curious as to what it was all about. This story has been multiply noted to be one of the best horror stories ever written. Hopefully I can offer a decent review when I am finished.

They worshipped, so they said, the Great Old Ones who lived ages before there were any men, and who came to the young world out of the sky. Those Old Ones were gone now, inside the earth and under the sea; but their dead bodies had told their secrets in dreams to the first men, who formed a cult which had never died...hidden in distant wastes and dark places all over the world until the time when the great priest Cthulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R'lyeh under the waters, should rise and bring the earth again beneath his sway. Some day he would call, when the stars were ready, and the secret cult would always be waiting to liberate him.^[13]

Loop Artists

I have been a long-time fan of Imogen Heap. She has a beautiful voice and watching her perform is absolutely intriguing. I hope that you enjoy this piece -- Just for now.

This performer known as DubFx is also amazing, hopefully you find it interesting as well.

What are they doing?

Has Australia lost their mind? Retailers are now banned from selling MMO's. Imo it seems like they really are just not all that enthused about the large amount of revenue coming from several popular MMO's such as World of Warcraft, Age of Conan, Lord of the Rings Online, and Warhammer. They are too concerned with being able to control peoples content that in the end they are gaining absolutely nothing, compared to the small amount they could have been gaining from sales (mark up/etc). This has probably been something that has been in the works since it seems to have fallen into a loophole, but it really is quite ridiculous. Some of these MMO's have millions of players enjoying their games from all around the world -- it would seem obvious with the monthly fees to play, that it is indeed quite lucrative.

Basically, if you think America is tough on its censorship -- you have not met Australia.
