	i watch you while you sleep Ladies and germs, the newest animal who lives in my house. In keeping with naming new animals after key members of the Watergate conspiracy, I've named him Deep Throat. He lives in a hole in the ceiling and he likes individual servings of oatmeal.... Posted by xtop at 01:00 AM \| Comments (5)

	btk: fuck yeah I could take this book right here and bash your head in. I wouldn't feel a thing. investigators closed the cases of Marine Hedge, 53, who was slain in 1985, and Delores "Dee" Davis, 62, who was slain in 1991, following the arrest of Rader. "We were finally able to get some (additional) information" tying BTK to those cases, Steed said. He declined to elaborate. Investigators hadn't previously considered the two...

	btk: stache-tastic in heaven you will all be my slaves Dennis L. Rader, 59, has worked as a compliance supervisor for Park City in charge of animal control, nuisances, inoperable vehicles and general code compliance since about 1990. He grew up in the Park City area and has lived there ever since. He worked for Coleman in the early 1970s -- as did two of BTK's early victims. He served in the military...

	b.t.k : s.o.l Mayans said this morning that he received a call late last night from police officials saying DNA of the man brought in Friday for questioning is a match to evidence gathered at the scene of at least one BTK murder. Tests were done Friday. Mayans said that police told him earlier Friday that they were 99 percent sure they got the guy. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted and, hell,...

	btk: no, really, for sure The mayor of Wichita, Kansas, has called a news conference tomorrow on the B-T-K serial killings investigation. The announcement comes as Wichita police and other investigators continue working in a neighborhood of Park City, about seven miles north of Wichita. Mayor Carlos Mayans refused further comment this evening, saying only there will be a news conference tomorrow morning at Wichita City Hall. Police, the F-B-I and other authorities are also keeping silent... Posted by xtop at 10:49 PM \| Comments (0)

	false starts: kcccccccccccccn Writing an aimless spotlight piece about the local "comics creators network," all of whom never responded to my email (and still haven't). It would be fine, but you know that comics nerds check their email on basis so regular it's almost religion. Anyhow, this stupid fucking piece took me a few hours to write, a fact which still fills me with shame. Here are my cast-off ledes: Comics, like porno, rise and...

	no more spam Thanks to Merry, the endless stream of robots shilling for dick pills and poker games are now blocked. You now have to type a little code number that appears in the comments box to make your post go through, but rest assured, no more ads for cialis will interrupt any petty bickering or childish namecalling from now on....

	btk: he has a lot of love to give WICHITA, Kan. - Another Wichita television station received a package Wednesday believed to be from the BTK serial killer. The padded manila envelope was mailed to Fox affiliate KSAS-TV. It contained a piece of jewelry, a letter and another unidentified item, said Don North, news director for KWCH-TV, which produces the KSAS-TV newscast under a joint agreement. So far BTK has communicated primarily with a competing Wichita station, ABC affiliate KAKE-TV, but... Posted by xtop at 11:12 PM \| Comments (8)

	it's not you, it's me I've had women break into tears in front of me before and it's never a good thing. Especially when that woman is my piano teacher. I arrived slightly early for my lesson and she told me to go ahead and warm up while she ate something. So I sit down and go through my warm-ups, while I can hear her and her husband chatting quietly over food just beyond the curtain... Posted by xtop at 10:38 PM \| Comments (5)

	aquarium horror zen The worst part of owning an aquarium is also the best part, which is that it is, after a certain point, completely out of your hands. Being nature in a box, it does what nature does and a lot of things end up dying. Weird fungus or bad water or bad genes, fish die with persistence under my care, and my initial stock of 11 or so fish was weaned down to... Posted by xtop at 04:22 AM \| Comments (10)


	the ira glass interview I read about this guy on the internet about this guy who was competing for the Asteroids world championship. -Are you serious? Theyre still going? Yeah, I guess so. They print volumes of video game world records. And this guy on his 27th straight hour, the game just went dead. They had some glitch in the game. -Oh my god. But how did anybody beat him? Well, they didnt have as many... Posted by xtop at 02:48 AM \| Comments (4)

A short piece on discovering Randy Newman and a longer one about BTK and how a message board of curious on-lookers became a stake-out for the Witchita PD. Available in your finer magazine shops....

	the other hollywood happytrac14: Why should we care about the history of porn, and what is the conclusion of your book? Legs McNeil: It's just the story of porn. I don't give a f**k if you care about it or not. Don't buy it. Go back to reading Jewel's book of poetry. I don't care what you do with your life. I'm interested because it's about America, and the story has never been told,... Posted by xtop at 01:19 AM \| Comments (2)

	shush now this is the creepiest thing on tv every year There's something so fetishistic about the way the old lady (who's shilling for a tax preparation firm located on scenic Troost in a dilapidated old house with a crappy sign out front) strokes the dinosaur's tail and coos to it. Maybe it means something in the context of Kansas City, but all I know is it feels like walking in on your grandmother... Posted by xtop at 01:11 AM \| Comments (2)

	transient global amnesia Transient global amnesia (TGA) has been a well-described phenomenon for more than 40 years. Clinically, it manifests with a paroxysmal, transient loss of memory function. Immediate recall ability is preserved, as is remote memory; however, patients experience striking loss of memory for recent events and an impaired ability to retain new information. In some cases, the degree of retrograde memory loss is mild. Many patients are anxious or agitated and may repeatedly... Posted by xtop at 11:58 PM \| Comments (5)
