In honour of a new mix of people on the students’ union, this week It’s a mixed bag of links. Hopefully they’ll be equally useful; and, if not, at least entertaining!
The Do It Yourself Giallo Generator
?A Glass Eye on the Velvet Tapestry: Directed by Stefano Giocomonte: An American priest finds a human torso which has been hacked up in the style of a killer who terrorized the neighborhood many years ago. An elderly journalist is unsatisfied with the official explanation of the murder; and after running afoul of the police investigation, he is on the verge of solving the mystery when he is killed by the real culprits: a secret society made up of the people he most trusted.?
Like the tagline says: A one-page satire of Second Life . . . and It’s giggleable.

Oh . . . lord. Just hope you aren’t on there somewhere yourself.

After a look at this you might stop worrying quite so much about that nose ring your teen just got.
Suddenly I’m reminded of something called either Goofy Grime or Slime; it was green, slooshy, sticky, and looked not entirely unlike, well, you know. But boy was it fun!
The sad thing is, it doesn’t actually exist . . . and I want it!
