Let's be real for a moment. Don't you dare deny the evils of the patriarchy. Don't you dare spit on all the women on whom our society encourages assault and violation. Don't you dare blame the victims of these assaults. Don't you dare try to justify their earning cents on the dollar. Don't you dare tell them what their role in society is, or what you want them to do, or that they should calm down. Don't you dare devalue them because they're angry - they have every right to be angry. A
Everybody's always all like "oh noooo Black Six is so scary and intimidating" But look. Take it from me. Black Six is the biggest dork in the world. I mean he is hilariously dorky. Dude's a huge friggin' nerd. There is nothing scary about that guy. And even if he were, all you have to do is give him a beer and he becomes your best friend. LET ME SHOW YOU THE BLACK SIX I KNOW Guys......that's Black Six. He is a (lovable) DORK.
So I took this picture of my guitar the morning after our gig on the 5th. I'd torn open three of my fingers about halfway through the show and was spraying blood everywhere but kept playing and finished the set. The lesson is that you may be metal but you will never be as metal as I am.
Ask me questions and I'll answer Any sort of question you want THIS IS WHAT BLOGS R 4 And seriously I mean any question. You can ask me random dumb stuff if you want, or you can ask me personal questions, or you can ask me what I feel about things, or you can ask me about ME, or you can ask BZP-related questions like what my thoughts are on various BZPower policies. This is an intimate fireside sit-down.

So, Comrade Gato, my part-time lover...we meet again. You know, negating the fact that we talk weekly, sometimes daily. That's beside the point. The point is, you think just because I gave you a guest spot once, you can muscle in on my territory? Uh-uh, gorgeous. I'm still the pretty princess of BZP chefs and you can't unseat me. For those to young to remember, I used to post recipes on this blog, which was initially inspired by KIE's culinary blog entries (I still maintain that, during
All you poseurs who think you can celebrate St. Patrick's Day
Y'all better kiss me, 'cause I AM Irish.

This is just an open letter to, well, everybody, in direct response to the goings-on in the blogs currently. Please take a moment to read it. 1. I understand this is probably all overwhelming for some of you and I don't blame you for that but please don't say that we need a "change of subject." Because even if you don't want to talk about these issues, they are important and need to be tackled head-on if we want to work to make our community truly safe and family-friendly. We're finally mak
FEELING HUNGRY, BZPOWER? Well, I haven't posted one of these in a while, so to make up for it, I'm posting two recipes - a complete meal for your pleasure. On tonight's menu: kafta, a Lebanese dish made from ground meat; and some spiced chickpeas one the side. Mmmmm. KAFTA Ingredients 2 pounds ground beef, lamb, or other ground meat (I used beef) 1/2 tablespoon allspice 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes 1 onion 1/4 cup chopped parsley Note: I only made half of t
check out this hotness Crate GFX-212 amplifier. 120 watts. It's beautiful and it sounds beautiful. I'm a big believer in checking out a lot of different amps, including odd ones not made by the big name manufacturers - the sound you want can be found in the most unlikely of places. I almost passed right by this on my way to the Vox Valvetronix I've had my eye on for a while (I've always been a fan of Vox - you can see my trusty little Pathfinder 15R on on top of the Crate in this pictur
Yeah, you'd better believe that within five minutes of that SBaHJ book being announced, I had bought a copy. Homestuck? Eh, it's all right. SBaHJ? Visionary.
So recently I've become what I call a "soft vegetarian," in that I'm no longer cooking meat for myself, though I won't turn away dishes that other people make. Since I cook 90% of my meals for myself, this is part of my continuing quest to become less of a fat, disgusting lump. I've got a semiregular tradition of posting recipes on this blog, because I don't buy it when people claim they can't cook. Cooking is easy - you just need to follow the instructions...and I'm here to spoon-feed them
Way back in December of 2009, a dear friend of mine known as LehvakLah on these forums (but by other monikers offline) shared with me a link. It was to a quasi-interactive comic with charmingly simplistic art and a creatively curious interface. It was called MS Paint Adventures. As I recall, she shared also with me a link to Beyond the Canopy that evening. I skimmed both lightly and was marginally delighted by my cursory perusal. As I trusted her judgement and was already amused by what lit
Download here BZPower has always been really supportive of me over the years, as I've slowly learned how to effectively record music. My simple cover songs in the BZPowercast gave me my first real audience, Maddison (Nukaya) gave me my first radio airplay, and my outings as part of Taped Headphones with Becca (Hahli Husky) gave my my first legitimate musical collaboration. My early output was rudimentary and - let's face it - pretty awful. But you guys believed in me right from the get-go
