Bought a pretty rare book online today.
It’s called A Crackup at the Race Riots and it’s by Harmony Korine, the genius behind the controversial movies Kids and Gummo, two of my all-time favorite movies. Seeing as it’s so rare, it’s also pretty expensive if you can even find it. There’s 2 copies for sale […]

With 3 books collecting dust that I have barely ever opened and one more from a previous Amazon order that still hasn’t arrived, it might not be the best idea to buy two more books. But I did and I can’t wait for them to arrive.

Just ordered a book entitled The ZEN of CSS Design: Visual Enlightenment for the Web, written by the guys over at CssZenGarden.com. It’s a few years old, but I’m really looking forward to start reading it and I hope I’ll be better at CSS after having read it. I’m also looking forward to read […]
Apparently J.K. Rowling has always considered Dumbledore to be gay.
First, the biggest revelation of the night came when Jo revealed to her audience the fact that Albus Dumbledore is gay and had fallen in love with fellow wizard and friend, Gellert Grindelwald. This elicited a huge reaction and prolonged ovation. So much so, it […]
As a person who loves Japanese pop culture I just might have to buy the book “Yakuza Moon” by Shoko Tendo very soon. This article makes her and her background sound very interesting to say the least.
