The Guillotine

This is a new song by The Coup. Verena wrote about death. Did you see the new Oneiropolis Compendium entry? It’s about Chelonian Hill. New posts coming soon: info about big new project, various articles, and a new (short) freeware game. Exciting times ahead.  

Addendum on Anger

I don’t like being the guy who’s always angry, always pointing out all that is wrong. I don’t like pissing off talented if misguided people and making my own life harder. I do like peace and quiet. But if you think that the appropriate response to this kind of situation…. …
