I think I might get a set of these next. . . but I'm not really sure. I need to start paying attention to how much this area rubs on things when I work/play. Also, I dont know how I feel about having hair growing around my piercings. . . I don't want to have to shave/wax my whole damned chest, but I really like how these look.

I just rewatched Pet Sematary, because it happened to be on tv. Man, was that a terrible movie. Also, I had managed to block that song out of my memory, you know the one I'm talking about, the one by the Ramones. . . ugh, now it's going to be years before I can enjoy the Ramones again. Yet another reason I have, for hating Stephen King. I'm going to go on an oldschool punk binge, and try to restore my faith. Then I'm going to watch some good bad horror movies.

Fangoria - America's Horror Magazine: "Brookshire, who scripted and directed, describes AWAKEN THE DEAD as “a darkly humorous horror/action/zombie movie about a government experiment with biochemical toxins that unleashes the living dead on a small California town.
“In some ways, it was inspired by SHAUN OF THE DEAD,” Brookshire says. “After all, that film was a solid romantic comedy with zombies. AWAKEN THE DEAD is an action film with heart…and zombies. "

Nipple piercing may have caused fatal infection in Newfoundland 17-year-old - Yahoo! News: "A 17-year-old Newfoundland girl is believed to have died from toxic shock syndrome - and the infection that killed her may have resulted from a nipple piercing, the province's chief medical examiner says.
Dr. Simon Avis said in an interview from St. John's that the teenage girl, who died Thursday, had been admitted to hospital earlier this week 'with medical problems that were quite complex.' Her name has not been released.
Avis said it is too early to say for certain that the apparent toxic shock syndrome was caused by infection at the site of the piercing. An anatomical autopsy was performed, but other microscopic tests need to be conducted before the source of the staphylococcus infection can be pinpointed, he said.
'We're still in the process of investigating,' he said. 'We can't be absolutely sure that body piercing had anything to do with the infection.'
Still, Avis conceded that of the many possible origins of the toxic shock syndrome, 'I think it would be fair to say that we're suspicious that that (body piercing) was the source of the infection, yes.'
Toxic shock syndrome is characterized by sudden fever, chills, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches and rash, says the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The cause is usually toxins produced by strains of Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium commonly found on the skin and on mucous membranes, such as the mouth.
Toxic shock can occur as a complication of skin abscesses or surgery. In females, it has been linked to the use of tampons and intravaginal contraceptive devices.
Avis said his office is now investigating the circumstances surrounding the teen's nipple piercing.
'This girl came to hospital almost moribund,' he said. 'All we know is she had a piercing recently. We are now trying to investigate when that was done.'
Part of that investigation Part of that investigation will involve talking to the grieving family of the teen, who was a senior at Booth Memorial High School in St. John's.
Avis said her death might be "an extreme example" of what can occur when people have lips, tongues, eyebrows, genitals and other body parts punctured in the name of fashion.
"This is health dollars that are essentially wasted treating infections that shouldn't have occurred because of some desire to have a piece of metal sticking out of your body. It doesn't make much sense to me."

Exanimus is actually being created by the Rotten Corpse team from TMSGames, and is billed as an "online massively multiplayer game created in a world where the dead live and roam the earth eating the flesh of the living". The game lets players either slip into human skin or run amok as one of many undead, flesh-eating monstrosities roaming the planet. So the story goes, most of the world is dead (or undead, we guess), but a handful of human survivors are managing to hold out in barricaded-up cities around the globe.
