The Mind of Jimmy Swaggart

Way back in the days of yore . . . in the late ’80s when I was at university at a Christian university (yes, really) . . . my buddies and I used to get a kick out of watching Jimmy Swaggart on television as he was so predictable . . . his pitches and…

Shake Your Belly?

What an odd caption . . . Single Women Shake Their Bellies . . . that’s not all they’re shaking. A couple months back, Lorraine, Kaye, and I saw a performance by a Belly Dancing Troupe at Core Pacific (the Living Mall) in Taipei . . . quite interesting. The troupe has classes and was…

The Horus Project

This week in my critical theory course, we’re looking at post-structuralism or deconstruction. The Horus Project examines and plays with deconstructive forms . . . the audio visual presentation is quite interesting . . . creepy, but interesting.

The Race for Commercial Space Travel

Vigrin Group has entered the space race . . . big time . . . I just hope that the VSS Enterprise accomplishes more than tourist junkets. It seems a shame that so far commercial space flight has been for guys who pay US$20 million tickets to get a chance to stare into space from…

Hyperacuity and Hyperempiria

Discussing Hyperacuity & Hyperempiria Hyperacuity is the heightened sensitivity of the senses. This is often found in trance subjects and can be increased through the use of suggestion (a few folks have done some really interesting work with blindfolds and hearing or with sight and memory). Hyperempira is a system based on suggestions of enhanced…

Standards within the Lay Hypnosis Community

I originally wrote and crossposted this as a response to a post on the Omnigrads list (an EXCELLENT list for graduates of training programs taught by Gerry Kein) as part of a thread regarding an advertisement for a short-term hypnotherapy training course that offers certification with one of the large national organizations. I’ve removed specific…

Hey George…… blow me

Photognome decides to spew forth some truth . . . Hey George…… blow me . . . regarding some comments by George Lucas on the new big-ass Star Wars DVD collection which is so far overdue as to be ridiculous: From a CNN interview with Lucas regarding the “Star Wars” DVD set that just came…

Call Girl Law . . . the Cristina Schultz case

Cristina Schultz has had her money seized by the federal government even though she has not been charged with any federal crimes. Schultz worked as a very expensive escort (call girl) to pay off her loans from when she went to Stanford Law School . . . from where she graduated in good stead .…

Double Agent

Double Agent is a rather clever approach to get guys to learn a bit on how to relate to women . . . get a bunch of hot babes to go ask other hot babes on the street what guys do wrong or right when approaching or relating to women. See a bunch of clips…

Domain of the Langren . . . down for a bit

Some evil toadey has hacked my Domain of The American Werewolf sites and so they are down for a bit as I get things all spiffed up and reformatted . . . please be patient . . . certainly was a shocker when I found I was getting write file errors as the forty gigabyte…

Sex with Strangers

Sex with Strangers . . . note that Calvin and Julie are still married but Sara has since lost her job as a student teacher when her school found out about her lifestyle choices. It’s not like she was teaching her religion or lifestyle to the kids. Moral perpitude rules have a place, but not…

Grab Your Ass

Corbett is suggesting that if you can’t go up those long MRT steps, perhaps you should Grab Your Ass . . . I’m thinking, that looks awfully weird . . . the video is quirky and strange particularly for its seriousness . . . I suspect the system would work much better though if instead…
