Life and its aftermath are very busy lately. I'm not in here much. I see some of you have asked me to re-rate your pages, but are you sure that's what you really want? I tend to be even harder than usual when asked to critique. Besides, we do our pages for ourselves, as a part of our own self-expression. I fail to see why anyone else's opinion of anyone's page should be worth a bat's fart in hell.
Produced a Theatre des Vampires blood-sports party with a staged "Martyrdom of St. Sebastian" in... well, it was sometime in the previous century. Now working on a Theatre des Vampires production, ostensibly for Burning Man. Alas, logistical problems nixed for this year. Maybe next....
There may be some parts open for people with the right sense of humor.
I recently brought home some soil from a graveyard in Sighisoara where Dracula was born and keep it under my bed. On that same trip I visited Vlad's tomb on the island at Snagov.
Favorite vamplit includes "They Thirst" by Robert McCammon (a fun read, and the utter destruction of LA is always a bonus!) "I Vampire" by Jody Scott (brilliantly zany. Michael Romkey's very different novel by the same name is another good read. Of course, Fred Saberhagen's "Dracula Tapes" should be read by all vampirati, preferably alongside the Stoker novel. Saberhagen's sequels are also quite good.
I'm mad for movies and attended most of the "(Yet) Another Hole in the Head" Festival of indie horror, sci-fi and psycho thriller flicks. Check my journal for reviews of some of these movies!
Coming soon to the SF Bay Area are the Muslim Film Festival and the Arab Film Festival. These collections offer a vision that we rarely get to see, and I can't recommend them enough.
Thanks for the many warm welcomes, but do you really want me rating your sites? I'm a harsh, critical old ogre. I don't think the emphasis on ratings is a good idea, as it tends to breed cloying conformity and false praise. Should anyone care what other people think of their sites? I find a lot of them here to be hard to read, cluttered, cliched and icky maudlin. Read the movie reviews in my journal to see what a harsh bastard I am before you invite me to review your site.
I'm an old school vamp who was sucking blood before most of you "goth" kids were born. I have little patience for whiney, maudlin, self-obsessive, little children and loud cacaphonic music. I may even institute a policy that if anybody whines at me about how I rate their pages, I will go back and take the rating down a point.

I'm glad to have friends of all genders, colors, ages, etc... but my more visceral desires are strictly for men (bio or ftm) especially olive-skinned, hirsute, minotaurean or lycanthropic types. I love jumping a big hairy man the way a tiger pounces on a buffalo, or rolling around in furious passion with a hairy manbeast, biting, snarling, growling, and the final release that gives me life.
A personal description of myself? As Montague Summers would describe a typical vampire from the legends, I am red haired, blue eyed, and left handed. Lacking a mirror for shaving I grow a beard. As my nails are very sharp, I keep them extremely short. They still scratch. I am probably a good deal older than most here.... I campaigned for Adlai Stevenson and most of my friends have been dead for years. My family includes people of all colors, religions, and orientations, so I take any sort of bigotry very personally. Don't even start!

How evil are you?
When I took the test honestly I only ranked as "Twisted." These tests are so predictible and easly manipulated, but as we are reminded at every election and consumer poll, so are people.
Some of my friends think I am "merely" twisted. Some insist I am pure evil. People can think what they like, if they bother to think at all. (And if they don't I sure as hell don't give a damn what's rattling around inside their soggy little skulls.)

Long winding caverns and old mausoleums
Houses that look like decrepit museums
Floorboards that creak worse than old rusty springs
These are a few of my favorite things.
Bright pulsing veins against sinewy muscles
Biting them open to drink the corpuscles
Children of night and how sweetly they sing
These are a few of my favorite things.
(Chorus:)
When the sun shines,
When the stake strikes,
When van Helsing raves
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so grave.
Rodents that scurry and serpents that scrabble
Bats in a flurry that scare off the rabble
Black widow spiders with venomous stings
These are a few of my favorite things
Carved oaken coffins in elegant hearses
Long and poetic Romanian curses
Poisons that fall from compartments in rings
These are a few of my favorite things
Oubliettes down at the end of a tunnel,
Boiling oil applied through a funnel
Enemies bound and suspended in slings
These are a few of my favorite things
Gorgons with looks that cause petrification
Demons that rise with a dark incantation
Green mottled skin and black leather wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Harpies that howl like the winds of November
Scalpels and saws that we use to dismember
Collars with spikes inside big iron rings.
These are a few of my favorite things
Eating the limbs of the people who hate us
While they watch, let them dare to berate us.
Drumming their heads with their bones while we sing.
These are a few of my favorite things
(Chorus:)
When the sun shines,
When the stake strikes,
When van Helsing raves
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so grave.

More song lyrics are among the entries of my journal. And more will be added....
The picture immediately below are, from top to bottom (1) the chapel where Vlad Tepes was buried on an island near the town of Snagov (2) a photo from a Franciscan chapel in Rome, decorated entirely with the bones of dead brothers, and (3) a snapshot from the Capuchin Catacombs in Palermo. (4) Rothenberg ab der Tauber is a charming German village with a delightful museum of medieval justice and punishments. (5) But what could be more charming than my own precious little Hellhound!
