Lords be a lady tonight…

Make room for ‘Boom Boom’…

Posted on 26/09/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

One of the fun things about the internet is the random detours and unexpected discoveries that occur from time to time. For instance, this morning I was searching for info on Katherine Parkinson’s new series*, and I happened to end … Continue reading →

Got S.W.A.T.?

Posted on 21/09/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

I actually traded in my previous copy of S.W.A.T. (2003) a year or so ago, because I had this crazy idea that I could slim down my DVD collection, and live an uncluttered, non-materialistic, meditative existence. Ho ho. Now that … Continue reading →

GothWatch: Anna Walton and Kate Sissons

Posted on 19/09/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

As the “Tubular Bells” theme from The Exorcist played through the charity shop, my eyes landed on the DVD of a British horror flick called Vampire Diary (2007). The disc looked scratched to heck but its sexy siren call proved … Continue reading →

Upsy-Daisy

Posted on 15/09/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

P-A-R-T-Y

Posted on 12/09/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

LauoWolf is having a “blog warming party“, and I thought I’d join in… if only because it gives me a chance to experiment with posting a video, to see how/if that works. So here’s my idea of the greatest party ever (co-starring … Continue reading →

DreamWatch: M-Rod

Posted on 11/09/2010 by Dee CrowSeer

I had a dream last night… I was walking around my hometown, as part of a march for Punk Rights (like “Gay Rights”, I guess… but for surly guys with mohawks). There weren’t many of us, and passers-by were laughing … Continue reading →
