snow white masochist

This might be one of the most beautiful, amazing porn videos I've ever seen in my life:

http://www.tnaflix.com/view_video.php?viewkey=486be71b957e17dd996d

I actually got a bit emotional watching it.
Everything about that video is so heart-wrenchingly beautiful. Her realness, her desperation, her wonderful secret solo masochism ritual. It touched me* on a very profound, personal level that kind of gutted me a little bit.

I wish I knew more about this girl.
I saw myself in her.
She just made my night.

one of the best bands of all-fucking-time, Dead Moon.

no sissies.

my spirit animal.

"Another manifestation of the trickster is the coyote, an animal viewed with both fascination and disdain depending on the tribe. The Hopi tribe viewed the coyote as a thief who stole their sheep under the cover of darkness. They resolved to rid their land of his presence and eventually succeeded in chasing him out of Hopi territory.

The legend says that Coyote fled to Navajo territory, where he was captured and burned by a resourceful shepherd. The Navajo, however, see the coyote figure as responsible for the emergence of mankind. The Miwok of California also saw the coyote as an essential force in the creation of the earth.

In their mythos, Coyote dried the ancient seas by shaking his blanket over them and this resulted in the creation of land. In this mythos he is viewed as a creator, but the Chinook tribe sees Coyote as responsible for bringing death to the human world. When the world was young and death was a factor only in the lives of animals, Coyote and Eagle travelled to the world of the dead to retrieve their wives. Coyote gathered the dead in a box and started to return to his world. Along the way, wishing to see his wife, Coyote opened the box and released the spirits of the dead, as well as the concept of death itself."

UFO over Norway??

Mystery as spiral blue light display hovers above NorwayA mysterious light display appearing over Norway last night has left thousands of residents in the north of the country baffled.

Witnesses from Trøndelag to Finnmark compared the amazing sight to anything from a Russian rocket to a meteor or a shock wave - although no one appears to have mentioned UFOs yet.

The phenomenon began when what appeared to be a blue light seemed to soar up from behind a mountain. It stopped mid-air, then began to circulate. Within seconds a giant spiral had covered the entire sky. Then a green-blue beam of light shot out from its centre - lasting for ten to twelve minutes before disappearing completely.

The Norwegian Meteorological Institute was flooded with telephone calls after the light storm - which astronomers have said did not appear to have been connected to the aurora, or Northern Lights, so common in that area of the world.

The mystery deepened tonight as Russia denied it had been conducting missile tests in the area.
Fred Hansen, from Bø in Vesterålen, described the sight as 'like a big fireball that went around, with a great light around it again.'

A Moscow news outlet tonight quoted the Russian Navy as denying any rocket launches from the White Sea area.
Norway should be informed of such launches under international agreements, it was stressed. The Russian Defence Ministry was unavailable for comment last night.

intergalatic revelry


Today's stellar sight from the Hubble Space Telescope advent calendar is a close-up of Omega Centauri cluster, which is located in the constellation Centaurus. There are over ten million stars in the entire cluster - pictured here are only about two million of them.

This photograph took my breath away. My obsession with space and all of its glorious contents makes my eyes glitter with amazement all the time, but I thought this photo was particularly captivating - it resembles an ethereal snowfall, which seemed appropriate, due to the fact that my city received its first snow of the season today. It wasn't much, and it was wet, but it was a small glimpse of what's in store for the next few months, and I couldn't help but be filled with the same feelings an 8-year-old might feel in the same situation.

Bring on the snowfall, and let the stars take my heart.

glamour in the hammer.

I attended the Hamilton Music Awards ceremony this past Sunday with my lovely friend Lasha. It was my first time, and I was honoured to attend. Kinda felt like I was showing a little representation for the bar I work at, who by the way, won Best Live Venue at the industry awards the day before. Go Team Hollywood!

Lasha's husband's band, The Vapids, won a long-overdue award for "Best Punk Recording," for their 45" "The Point Remains The Same." She went up and accepted the award for them, stating that "The Vapids couldn't be here tonight - they're on tour in Japan" (they weren't) and went on to thank herself and drummer Scotty's girlfriend Lisa for being "the best band wives." That girl is a hoot. Congrats to The Vapids, and also to Monster Truck, who took home the award for "Best Loud/Metal Recording," and who were also hilariously awkward onstage in their flannel and beards.

Anyway, I'd recap the highlights of the evening, but they include less awards show hob-nobbing and more post-awards beer and cigarettes at a friend's house. Not a late night - to a lot of us girls, the most long-awaited part of a fun evening out is just getting home and prying off those fucking heels.
